Oh, come on, I hear it all the time. Generally they're either Americans or support the FrP (the so-called "Progress Party").


Must be different social circles. I don't know any FrP types, but I do know some other Americans, and I've yet to hear any complain.


Probably, especially considering I'm fairly sure we've never met. :)

Don't get me wrong, the Americans I talk to regularly (and work with) aren't complaining about this, but if you get enough foreigners in a room together, there always seem to be a few who like to complain about taxes.

As for the FrP, the ones I know tend to be younger, and while they don't mind complaining about taxes, the real reason they tend towards the FrP is racism, even when they'd rather not admit it.
