Yea right, so is the German oil for Germany. /s

You seem to be quite the expert on Norway. Can you elaborate how they prop up social services with oil money?

Why do you feel offended?

OP had the thesis that the "Norway sovereign fund" is funded by high taxes. This fund is also known as the "Oil fund": The Government Pension Fund Global, also known as the Oil Fund, was established in 1990 to invest the surplus revenues of the Norwegian petroleum sector.

Conclusion: The Norwegian society is not just rich just because you are that smart. You obviously had a good portion of luck.
