Is this the part where the Americans pool our money and send a few
people over there to beat you over the head with a large stack of 1040 
and (insert state tax form name here - I, for example, have four from
which to choose this year) forms?

I hope at least that Norwegian tax rates are higher than the ones we
pay here, if only to make up for all the fun you're missing.
