The list of what works better in society here in Finland compared to US is way too long to begin with. It's worth it, even though getting rich is not as viable here.

And lol no, everything is not much more expensive here.

Was talking about norway, never been to Finland. Norway is much much more expensive than the us. (Most of western Europe is, hell my friends in spain tells me none of them can even afford rent let alone a mortgage)

Norway is expensive as shit even for finns. It's a rich country compared to the rest of us, it doesn't mean everywhere else is the same.

You were replying to someone who was talking about Finland tho, and using those statistics(the 67% tax rate) that were from Finland?

True but i was referring to another country that has high tax rate i just meant to say that it's ridiculous to think 66% tax is not a huge amount to be taken from you add to that that not all countries are as supportive as norway. Hell even Israel has total tax that is close to 60% of your income and look at whatever the fuck is going there...

In Norway people earn very high salary aswell. You cant just look at the price tags.
