It is true that in the US large corporations benefit from huge tax loopholes and pay little tax, but every small businessman in the US doesn't have the Congressional pull.

Small businesses in the US face a high level of taxation with a relatively low level of government services. The Norwegian way of life is very different - businesses over there benefit from both the social benefits accorded to their workers and a very business-friendly environment.
