Wow, $30 a pound for butter which is about max price, so prices are probably in the $20 range. Sheesh, give up butter. Use one of those other replacements, spreads and such. I assume those are available in Norway? Or are those priced just as high since some contain dairy products anyway?

Fat tax?  That's obscene.

Well, after our dear politicians saw how they could control and improve the general populations health, with taxes on tobacco and alcohol, was it time give the fatty food stuff a go. Of course they also have be creative these days, when it comes to finding new ways to get more tax money out the most heavily tax population in the world...

I find guns and revocation of passports usually do the trick.

No guns, no butter, and alcohol costs way more.

Do they tax you for sex, too? Goddamn.

Here they have managed to

1 - made selling sex legal
2 - made buying sex illegal
3 - made earning money from providing services to prostitutes
4 - made declining to declare income from selling sex a tax offense

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I don't see what's wrong with taxing the income of prostitutes.

JS really needs to get off his high horse on this. Especially considering that peanut butter prices have rocketed this year and all the subsidies and protection his state gets on peanuts.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Indeed.  It's been difficult for me. :(

So I support those subsidies? Nope.

You started this post to mock one country for protectionist policies, I'm merely pointing out similar polices in your home state.  I wonder what the economic impact of getting rid of Peanut subsidies and quotas would be.

I don't think peanuts are protected or subsidized.
