Haha, this entire thread has been about "Per Capita" do you know what that means?
Yep, do you?
You cant even comprehend a relationship between household income and social programs.
Yeah BB, it means no matter how hard you work, you get the same pay as everyone else, work hard and be a chump, or don't work hard and get the bennies...

If you believe that, then why is household income or wealth disparity even an issue in Norway? 
You two should just bow out, you cant even fathom simple economic concepts and how they influence one another. And once this is made clear, you simply hop to the next misconception. Frankly, its embarassing. Even if youre trolling youre not doing a good job.

You're really not that clueless about socialism, are you? That's a joke, right? Perhaps you should move to the kindeegarten forum where you can just make things up like that.

Let me help. He's saying you're absolutely clueless about socialism. It doesn't say everyone gets paid exactly equally.

You cant even be original when youre being snarky. 
And i know exactly what point im making, i thought it was pretty straightforward:

Americans use huge chumks of their household incomes on healthcare, education, transportation, time off work, etc. Norweigians dont have to worry about that so it stands to reason their household incomes are smaller.

Can't refute with facts, so you resort to insults, typical libtard...
Socialism is more equal is it not? Just like the unions, minimum work with equal pay, such a fucking joke...

Exactly. A little more equal. But not equal like you said in your earlier post. At least you're learning.

C'mon Stone. I know you feel bad for burgerbrains, but you can't possibly have read this thread and honestly made that statement. i'll bet you couldn't even keep a straight face when you typed it. You should check your boy. he's making your side look bad.

So far, all i've seen you post is the same graph from the same article that refutes your position. 
If your position was so strong, you would be able to come up with some other sources to support it.
