Come to Finland, because we need new blood to tax

Come to Finland, because we need new blood to tax

If this video doesn't motivate you to jump on the next raft to Finland, I don't know what will. The worst part is not that the narrator admits the country is yet another dying experiment of socialism, but that the director convinced the participants to smile and be happy about "getting by" with the little income they're allowed to take home. One wonders why there is brain drain from that part of the world and why many immigrants arrive wanting free hand-outs. See also: Denmark: Potemkin Village

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
