Just a reminder that they got a billion euro sized tax cut a couple of years ago as well. There were arguments that it would increase employment and there was even the Laffer argument that it will actually increase tax revenue thanks to the economy picking up.

Good thing we don't actually need that revenue for anything, like our schools and universities.

This is what I'm getting at. Was this ever explained, anywhere, where the results of those cuts ended up? Other than well you know times are a bad, kilpailukyky, go gently caress yourself.

Even regarding that (rather inane) point the wellfare state is far from dismantled.

I wonder how many posters think all is fixable by rising progressive income taxes though. This thread used to be fulla them!

Killing our elderly isn't doable, even though that would immediately help us from the hole, and killing the rich would be useless even if we gave all their money to the government. All the money would be used in a year or two to cover our budget deficieny and then qe'd be in the same position but without the rich to tax.

Maybe we should try dismantling it :v: Save us Lepomäki muahahaha.

Pretty sure there is agreement within the thread that the current welfare system is poorly designed and should be changed.

Also, this guy in the comments of that article seems to know what he's talking about :

Tällainen tilastointi on harhaanjohtavaa, koska maiden järjestelmät ovat erilaisia. Joissakin maissa sosiaaliturvaa jaetaan sosiaalimenojen sijasta (esim. lapsiperheiden) verovähennyksinä, jolloin sosiaalimenojen taso jää matalammaksi. Toisissa maissa taas sosiaaliturvaa jaetaan sosiaalimenoina, joista osa (kuten Suomessa) on veronalaista tuloa. Tällöin (brutto)sosiaalimenojen taso muodostuu korkeaksi. Oikea vertailu pitää tehdä OECD:n tapaan NETTOsosiaalimenojen perusteella. Myös menojen kaksinkertainen laskeminen tulee välttää. Ks. tarkemmin kirjan http://www.labour.fi/tutkimusjulkaisut/raportteja/raportteja-30/ s. 21-27.

Ihan samaa oikeistosanasalaattia meillä on tarjolla kuin jenkeissä vaikka yksittäiset termit jäisivätkin uupumaan (metafora kengännauhoista nostaen ei ole suomen kielessä tuttu), ks. esim. tämänpäiväinen ilta-syövän sivuprofiili:

quote:

- Ikävä kyllä sekä sosiaaliturvan uudistaminen että työpaikoilla sopiminen ovat hautautumassa tämän vanhat työmarkkinarakenteet paaluttavan kilpailukykysopimuksen alle.

Lepomäen mukaan hallituksen saamattomuuden vuoksi palkansaajien veroaste nousee, keskiluokan asema kurjistuu ja työnteon kannustimet heikkenevät.

- Kilpailukykysopimus jumittaa keskeisen osan hallituksen uudistuksista, jotka voisivat johtaa parempaan työllisyyteen. Silloin nykyiset neljän miljardin sopeutukset eivät tule alkuunkaan riittämään.

Eniten Lepomäki on huolissaan siitä, että hallitus ei saa luotua 110 000:a uutta työpaikkaa.

Kaikki tuo on aika lailla kapulakieltä sille, että liitot voisi heittää historian romukoppaan, työttömät joko alipalkattuihin paskaduuneihin tai, koska karvaiset uudet ystävämme ovat jo näihin varattuja, puristettava polttoainepelleteiksi, jne. En edes voi kuvitella minkälaisilla silmänkääntötempuilla markkinaliberaaleista markkinaliberaalein kokoomusjyrä kehtaa väittää taistelevansa sen myyttisen "keskiluokan" puolesta; jenkeissä tuohan on jo vuosikymmenet ollut koodia kaikista varakkaimman väestönosan jeesaamiselle kaikkien muiden kustannuksella.

Since it's going to be an common topic with Cock Right VS So right it looped right back around civil war, I personally think that treating all business as same is naive as poo poo. The larger you are the bigger your opportunities are, the bigger your power and responsibilities are and different standards and restrictions should be applied to you. I don't think the guy running the bar downstairs is tax-planning through Cayman Islands for example nor would have access to that. His taxes should be low as poo poo because of that.

The difference between him and companies with bigger revenues then most countries should be treated as entirely different kind of entity. Once you handle that kind of money you should be scrutinized at least as hard as we scrutinize our government - which isn't all that great but miles better then the scrutiny faced by multinational corporations. Right now starting a business is for some loving reason put on the same scale as running a business worth billions. Why the gently caress does the latter get my tax money in subsidies again? Can someone explain that to me? Why do they get more of it then some dude opening a store?

How do you assume this changes the fact rexrooms are racist/prejudiced sub-humans, while most of the world doesn't give a crap about old sketches with saamelaiset ja mannet? They do absolutely no harm. The only "grief" they cause is offending the delicate feelings of rexrooms, and to be frank, the more offended, the better. Perhaps they will grow a thicker skin or lock themselves into trigger free "safe space" away from humanity, both agreeable options.

The problem with Talvivaara is the common mentality that if something worked once, it will always work. Same reason why people on this thread were like "omg invest in the shipyards" and people in the Uk thread want to nationalize Tata Steel to save jobs now that it's being shut down in the UK.

Also lol if you don't think normal (or, upper middle) people don't have access to some pretty useful tax instruments. Not that it's really that relevant though because all of these problems come from treating different things differently, which leads to people who bave the resources to exploit this to try to reclassify them as being something they aren't.



+ Ligur is completely correct, even if those numbers are misleading.. We've run deficits for 8 years now and still spend tons of money on social security, if you want to look at a policy that's failed to generate growth it's not cutting nearly as much as we should

PPP mentioned in an interview made in Apu-lehti sometimes in the early 2000's that the reason they stopped making those manne-sketches was because the roma parents said that they caused severe bullying to their kids in school.

Why are jokes about "slussenin sissit" Finns "funny" for example? You can make such jokes and nobody will be up in arms. Not sure if they are funny, but it's a hyperbole of a stereotype, yet nobody in real life thinks every Finn carries a knife and is about so stab you. You can still joke about the drunk knife guerillas. It's harmless.

I smile if they are funny in some way. Just learn humour or something. A joke about sami is not automagically fun because it's about sami, for example, if it has some funny in it then.... gaahhh. How can you even explain to humour to someone who (pretends) not to uderstand it?
