With most governments struggling to balance their budgets by taking money from residents through higher taxes, it is refreshing to hear about one that is doing just the opposite. On Tuesday, January 9th, the world woke up to the news that every Norwegian, right down to the newest born, was worth a million Kroner or about $164,000 USD - at least on paper. This was not a cruel joke on the residents but a reality that has come about thanks to the financial savvy of the country's government.

      Guys, if every citizen in Norway was rich. Then money would lose it's value. They are playing a risky game. Let's be glad things are the way they are.

        answer for question 1: the government decided to put the taxes for the citizens in their bank account.

                  That's so awesome but if everyone was rich the money would lose its value. Or maybe not. I'm not really sure...

                    You are correct. That was what happened to Germany after WWII.
