I love you, Finland…
But please, next election, try voting for people and parties who don’t actively want to sink the economy ship😅
Also fuck the neocolonialist and fascist IMF
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.
Change government as first step
Yes. The damage done to this country by the right-wing extremists will take a decade to be fixed.
And of course whoever is gonna be in the next government has to bear the weight of unpopular decisions for trying to put it back. While the extremists to fuel their propaganda will again blame that government. And their voters, who have goldfish memory, will fall for same tricks again and again.
Ah yes… the proven tactic of trying the same thing again even though we allready tried it multiple times and the outcome was negative every time… Lets see how well it works this time…
Sure let us raise VAT, so the poor can afford even less and thus can support the economy even less. What a great idea /s
Well, I’m no economist, but since it took years to fuck up, it will then take years to un-fuck it.
And I thought the economy would be fixed within a day!
