I was young once, living in Norway. Then I realised that I could personally get to know everyone wielding power if that was my life's goal (obviously it wasn't), they were not that many. Norway is a small country, fairly transparent and egalitarian, and not living behind high walls and security guards (though a few live in tax havens like London).
That kind of project would not be possible in larger countries like the US, but the number isn't that much higher, a few thousand people, though less accessible. Yes, they tend to run in families, as a rough guesstimate 3 out of 4 have a family relation.
That's odd. From what I've heard of the UK, London wouldn't be the first place I'd think of when I think of "tax haven".
Norway taxes must be really something else.
