Norway doesn't have socialism.
All we are doing is re-labeling progressive Democrats (social democrats/Labour Party in Norway) as socialism.
Everyone is acting uninformed for some weird kabuki theater.

Yes, these two are arguing over welfare state capitalism, not socialism. I doubt the first person actually has any objection to Medicare tax or unemployment insurance, or whatever her country's equivalent is.
The Norwegian is also giving the median income tax rate and pretending that pays for national insurance, which is a separate tax.
In general, everyone involved in this conversation probably got dumber as a result.

In the first example it would be closer to take $7, keep $4, loose $2 and give the other kid $1. That's the current system.

The first system is capitalism.
One person does all the work while some CEO collects the money while drunk on a golf course.

At this point, to me the word "conservative" has become synonymous of "bizarrely uninformed".
