I love you, Finland…

But please, next election, try voting for people and parties who don’t actively want to sink the economy ship😅

When the economy is stagnated, but wealth is still growing, it’s time to tax wealth, not consumers.

Edit: and the only pension reform we need is to limit state-paid pensions. The wealthy get thousands in state pensions, plus the interest from their wealth.

Who are making these recommendations, trained apes? Raising the VAT rate again? Finland rate is already 25,5%, highest in Europe. They raised the rate last year, which resulted in actually less VAT being collected than in the previous year.

It’s already high and consumption is low. That’s a stupid idea.
