Inc. Magazine article on high tax Norway says it is more entrepreneurial

Here is the article:

This article challenges a number conventional arguments from those on those who are conservative today.  I would be interested in hearing people here refute the article.  Some of the points the article brings up:

* The rate of producing entrepreneurs in Norway is higher than the United States.

* High tax rates, and an increased social safety net don't deter entrepreneurship.

* Despite having increased welfare, the unemployment rate is 3.5% in Norway.  Contrast that with the 9%+ in the United States.

So, what gives here?
