Ya, at the liquidatable rate. Companies hide income that way. -

It's a tax on wealth not revenue, meaning you only pay if there's profit, meaning you only pay if you get wealthy off the business. You pay nothing if the business operates at cost where ypu only earn a salary. -

You said they will move the business, that's more than just not wanting to pay a tax. Why would you want businesses that don't value the country, to be profiting from your country, a business that will up and leave at the slightest whiff of a better exploit, that's unstable for a country, that's a lack of principles that typically result in a terrible company that people prefer to not work for, a company holding the place in the market from a more principled company, likely only existing by other means of exploitation of your country, and would be displaced in the market by a principled company if there was an even playing field. -

A nation is a group of people working together, exploiting would be only trying to take from the nation and not caring about the nation other than for that. Parasites, taking from the nation. -

Sounds like Norway is in a hostage situation, and conservatives want to keep bending over to the businesses that only care about exploiting the nation. The tax is only on wealth, meaning they only pay if they're getting wealthy there. -

Only in a recession, otherwise, there's always business trying to hire, effectively infinite. -

There are certain industries that easily offshore, low-skill manufacturing, low-skill software, and low-skill telecommunications services, not Norway's niche as far as I'm aware. I don't believe Norway is going to ship oil jobs to China, if the companies did, then a new company would take over in Norway. Wealth tax is on income, meaning they only pay if they're making money, meaning someone will step into the vacuum to make that money if some parasite wants to move business elsewhere. Government spending done correctly, boosts the economy, boosting local businesses. If there isn't some need for tax revenue in Norway, then who would support taxes? No one supports taxes for the sake of taxes. -

False, again you're using zero sum. There's only a limited number of people, businesses that want to hire and can afford to, don't, when people for the job are not available. What countries have the labor available and skilled in Norwegian industries? Few, and little labor room for many businesses from Norway. -

Business is in part based on the labor market, when the market sees more labor available, it uses it. Other big businesses that stay will expand, smaller businesses will expand to be bigger businesses. How can everyone move their business to tiny Switzerland, and then still be profitable. It's a hysterically stupid narrative, are you incapable of thinking beyond a single variable? They have no more workers for any new businesses as it is. You move a business to where you can't find workers? "Switzerland's non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 2.7% in July 2025, matching the rate from the previous month. This figure is one of the lowest in Europe and remains low by international standards" This has been proven over and over again, the fear mongering has been proven false over and over again. It's not a zero sum gain. There's more than one variable, this isn't checkers. You're treating the real world as if it must be contained within a basic addition or subtraction equation. -

It doesn't mean less jobs. Other businesses will create other jobs, new businesses will be created. You think everyone will just give up and fold their hands, no, they'll do something else. It's not a zero sum gain. -

So, more business opportunity for people that actually value your country, and less parasitic companies. Switzerland from my understanding is not a cheap wage country, either. -
Israel shouldn't exist, that doesn't mean Palestine should turn to terrorism. Palestine is a nation, with military, a country that was invaded, very different than the Holocaust. Although when jews found out about the holocaust happening, of course they should have taken up arms against the nazis, and garnered international support, what would they have to lose? Absolutely, you crying about genocide is proof they're done for, why else are you crying online about it if it isn't true. Who's going to stop israel?

So was South Africa.

Palestinian army should prevent settlements, fight Israeli forces. Sympathizers should garner international support against israel, the u.s. protests should have occurred before October 7th, now, Palestine is likely done for.
-
You have no clue what's going on, you're a bald face liar. Afghanistan and Vietnam defeated America. Palestine, in YOUR own words, just allows unarmed settlers to steal their homes. Attack the army, defend your homes, garner global support, quit being imbeciles.

It could be boiled down to one or two questions, Is the government wasting more money than it is creating more prosperity? And, is there something that needs done by the government, homelessness, infrastructure, education,... Typically, the largest driver of jobs is from tax revenue, despite the common thought that taxes kill jobs, it's almost the opposite. Taxes can be used to create long-term national wealth, through infrastructure, research, education, helping the needy: But, it can also be wasted, or stolen. Think of the internet being created by the u.s. government, the power grid, the highway systems, education,.... no tax-cut to business is going to create the prosperity that these systems foster. -
Get off anti-social media, go make real life friends.

Israelis are marching in the street right now against their governments genocide. You're very misinformed. LMAO, but Afghans have a relatively stronger military compared to today's U.S.? You don't have a clue what you're talking about. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_political_violence No, again you're talking out your ass, I want Israel gone. Bro, you're a textbook example of the Dunning-Kreuger effect. Palestinians should fight if they want to, just, against the military, they shouldn't just target civilians, it will bring 'genocide' to them and understandably so. They will lose if they fight the military, because they're cowardly scum, not because of western firepower, obviously, since Afghanistan lasted 20 years against the u.s. at actual war, Vietnam 20 years against France and U.S.. Overthrow Israel, the right way, I would be happy to see it. But if Palestine targets civilians with terrorist attacks, then I will be fine with my government supplying Israel with weapons to destroy Palestine.

Uh, nope, they killed a baby on October 7th, babies are the army? That's really stupid. So hamas are just pussies that let fat jews steal their homes? More ridiculous stupidity of a comment October 7th has happened for 40 years, terrorist attack after terrorist attack eroding any sort of legitimacy of a Palestinian state. Palestine was a European colony, Palestinians surrendered the state, to Europe, the dog quit fighting 70 years ago and is now killing babies, don't get mad at Israel for killing the retarded dog.
-
They're not attacking the army, that wouldn't be considered terrorism then, they attack civilians. Attack the army if they're invading your country, been 70 years, why not declare war instead of just attacking women and children?

Russia(Putin) wants to be a superpower like the USSR was. The deficiency is Putin, he's an egomaniac.

Trump ran on lies, suckering the gullible, and BARELY won. What you've seen is the extent of the dying Republican party, a last ditch effort. The unsustainable campaign already exposed as fraud to the lay men. Bernie needs to build up the Democratic Socialist party to fill the vacuum of the dying Republicans, let Democrats soak up centrist Republicans and policy. Republican should be a third party. https://thehill.com › homenews › administration Quinnipiac poll records Trump's lowest approval yet - The Hill 18 hours ago · President Trump’s approval rating dropped to a new low for his second term in the latest Quinnipiac University poll.

If Russia allied with the west, Western Imperlialism would take off again. Thank God, egomaniacs kill each other.
