Why did Samantha Bell move to Norway?
Considering Joseph Stack's apparent distrust of the American government and the lengths to which he went to show it -- it's not too surprising to find that his daughter lives somewhere else: in Norway, a chilly European nation known for its astronomical tax rates and equally astronomical public services.
"She lost her job when she was pregnant and said Medicaid would not take care of her," ABC correspondent Andrea Canning told the GMA anchor after her report aired Monday. "She said that's part of the reason her father may have been upset."
It's also part of the reason she moved to the Scandinavian country, which consistently ranks as the nation with the world's highest standard of living. As of October 2009, Norway has the No. 1 highest rating in the United Nations' Human Development Index, which factors global residents' life expectancy, literacy, education, income and other measures of well being.
"She feels like she's getting more out of the Norway government for her money, more bang for her buck in that country," Canning said.

3. Why because she's a Socialist, of course. nt

4. But . but.. They're not bombing brown people..

All real, patriotic Murkins know that bombing brown people back beyond the stone age is the best bang for the buck that can be had with their tax dollars.

19. Suicide pilot's daughter now says father 'not a hero' for Austin attack

... Samantha Bell, daughter of Joseph Stack, who flew his plane into a government office building in Austin last week, ... said the only hero Vernon Hunter, a Vietnam veteran was the only person besides Stack to die in the anti-government attack. "I don't want to hurt anybody," Bell said. "We are mourning for Vernon Hunter" ... Our original post follows: The adult daughter of the man who crashed his plane into an Austin office building says the attack was "inappropriate" and "wrong" ...
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/02/pilots-daughter-deplores-suicide-attack-but-applauds-his-fight-against-the-system/1

So it doesn't look like she ever defended the attack: it looks like she's in for a predictable spell of confusion as she tries to reconcile her natural affection for her father with his demented murder-suicide

8. One link said it had to do with her Mom, a former wife of Stack, that she's been there for 14+ yrs

9. Oh, geez, suckin' off the socialist state and making these insane statements about

how taxes are the death of us! Doncha love it? I mean, really? These people drive me crazy...I'm ready to go a little postal myself (not really, I'm too tired...).

Oh well, she's another big diversion in our ongoing continuing cultural crusade...

[bridgit]

11. Oh yeah, these people are like tossing a spoon full of mercury on the kitchen floor...

They just scatter, there's no real force holding their thoughts together and when pressed with the notion they should consider doing so - along with most normal people - they burn their house down, crash a plane into a building and kill innocent Americans and that's not an ideology - its a mental illness

[Whisp]

21. paying taxes for a healthy and educated population is better than paying taxes

for blowing out the guts of kids around the world, isn't it?

whose the insane here.

15. I thought France was #1

And it was just recently I saw that.

[CTyankee]

16. According to the World Health Organization, France has the best health care system in the world.

Lots of factors taken into consideration. It doesn't mean other western European nations don't have great health care, they do. I think Sweden is or once was rated highest in terms of the standard of living for women, based on a number of factors.

18. Why does she get to live there?

Is he or her mother from there?
