Dear Finn,
please dont take this aggressive, but why are you happy? Paying the highest taxes in europe. What motivates you still to live there and not move somewhere else? What does your government do for you and with the money?
You are 1st on the World Happiness Index, but pays the highest taxes in europe, how does this work for you?

Ps. Please only serious comments

We’re not
Index is bullshit.
Good Infrastructure, public services (getting worse thanks to rightwing conservatives policies) access to nature, most jobs pay enough for you to have a decent life and still free time to enjoy it.
You do know the government doesnt just take the taxes and keep them?
Read on Finnish tax system, the graphic is misleading
We still earn well. We get free education, healthcare and many other perks. In the end I don’t think we have less money than an American
This map is horseshit.
Going by what I feel every few weeks: the sad people kill themselves (it’s a popular joke around crude people). Honestly there’s nothing to *really* complain about and most people are just satisfied or *fine* with what they have
We are content. Not happy, content. Paying taxes ensure you get security. Getting sick or injured won’t ruin your life. Your kids get education even if you’re not rich. And the likes of that.
If you pay that much taxes it means that you earn a lot of money. No one basically pays even near that much
Your questions assume that less taxes = more happiness. Just by looking at the map, seems to me it’s quite the opposite.
We are happy because we take care of eachother.
In an ideal world no one is left alone and everyone is cared for.
The tax system is progressive not 57% flat tax
First of all, only few people pay that 57%. Secondly, when the tax money goes to things that better society, I’m more than happy to pay my part. Thirdly, the society is mostly intact and at least I think that it is great to live in.
Yeah only the highest earning people would pay anywhere near that amount of taxes from income, I make over 40k a year and my tax is at around 20%
Definitely some misinformation in this map
