Norway is living off the gains of North Sea oil. When that abates, you will see mass problems sustaining their welfare state.

That conclusion is a little bite wrong since most of the money made from oil is put a side for future generations.
There are many other countries with a lot of oil like Venezuela, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya. They are not rich at all. High minimum wage is not the same as Welfare. To different things.
