    Please take a look facts about Finland where people are being equally poor due high taxation and bad economy. If you earn more than 5000€ per month, you will be in top 20% of the population. And besides all of these facts, some people still want to be taxed even more heavily “because rich people have too much”.

    And yes, while I understand Finnish people are not poor by any means when compared globally, it is still a perfect example how you can keep most of the population “poor” while not producing millionaires or highly profitable business.

      I am confused by your comment. What do you define as poor in this context?

      It’s a consequence of having money that some people will earn more than others. What I want is that the lowest segment of the population can live with dignity and the highest cannot buy up a state. From what you are saying, Finland actually fills these criteria?
