RE: Finnish People Want to Get Rich, but it's Only Acceptable by Winning the Lottery

in #finland7 years ago

Finns want to increase taxes for those who are working, for those who are investing their money anywhere and those who are owning their own companies.

Finns want to increase taxation on heritage, as getting rich because of your rich parents is wrong.

However... the lottery. If anyone talks about taxes on lottery winnings, Finns flip out. "You shouldn't put taxes on it, as the winner has earned it!"

Seriously.. come on, folks.

Sort:  

Lottery taxes are a funny thing. They're like the rake at a casino, and nobody likes that.

Typically people do love taxes - as long as it's only everybody else who has to pay taxes.
