At least in Norway it's already public what everyone makes. I can look up the taxable salary information about anyone (so salary after deductions but it's probably ok close). Also, even without that, salary of public employees is part of the information you can request to view.
I feel discussing salaries is quite common here. At work someone made a spreadsheet everyone fills their salary into if they want, experience, tenure etc and you can see how you compare. It's a great way of leveling the information imbalance that's normally there.
Edit: not sure why I'm down voted. I'm just saying how it is here, don't take it out on me if you don't like the concept, heh!
