Really? It just goes against my sense of logic. Rich people paying less taxes will lead to humongous economic differences.

EDIT: Apparently, I've misunderstood how taxes in Norway even work, so now I'm just confused.

Everybody doesn't know how taxes work. The us general tax code (?) is like a hundred pages or something ridiculous.

I'm a capitalist by every stretch of the imagination. Socialism hasn't worked under any umbrella to success. Work hard and you will be rewarded.

Exactly. Communism is just an extreme form of socialism, and better than socialism.

Do you really believe this? While the rich stay rich, and the poor stay poor?

This seems low. From a quick Google, it looks like the US tax code is around 2600 pages according to Slate.
