Another Great Idea from Europe

Democrats and liberals like to see themselves as being larger than patriotic Americans - they are globalists. We see this in their seeming obsession with turning the U.S. into a country modeled after European Socialism. Norway makes taxes and income records public according to this story at Yahoo!

It's the moment nosy Norwegian neighbors have been waiting for — the release of official records showing the annual income and overall wealth of nearly every taxpayer in the Scandinavian country.

In a move that would be unthinkable elsewhere, tax authorities in Norway have issued the "skatteliste," or "tax list," for 2008 to the media under a law designed to uphold the country's tradition of transparency.

I love Europe. Its a great place to visit with a fascinating history and many wonderful things to see. But I am glad I don't live there if this is what they call "transparency". Makes you wonder what the Obama administration means when they say transparency.
