Sounds like american uni classes (ECON 101, 201, etc) 😂

It's calculated using an average of all the tax brackets (or perhaps all the "middle" tax brackets since he mentioned that). Personally, I think the tax bracket should be combined with necessary expenses to gather the true percentage of costs to average people (eg private health insurance costs in the US which could make an average tax rate of 65%).

Wonder why healthcare and education are fully funded and free, but housing (another human right) is not. Sure, subsidies, but expected to pay something if not the majority out of pocket. Imagine if only subsidies for education and healthcare. Would have to pay significant amount of money to go to school/uni or see a doctor. Does anyone know why healthcare and housing are treated differently?

@seneca983 By that logic, wouldn't you need markets for education and healthcare too? There is variation in that too, just like there could be in housing. There isn't a single universal system available. Socialized (UK), single-payer (canada), dual-payer (germany), or a hybrid model.

@Finkaisar Couldn't the state get you the education and healthcare ONLY if you couldn't afford it too then?

@sampohonkala4195 I like the history. It makes sense looking at it from a historical perspective rather than a functional perspective. Thank you. Think society would start to realise that housing is becoming the new free market healthcare system back in the late 20th century (much more expensive and out of reach of many) before implementation of Universal healthcare.

The US has free public schools as well, but are quite bad in many areas. Finland has central control, funding, and policy over but delegates execution to regional authorities. This makes the education more equal. It would cause a parental revolution against the legislators if they tried to even implement this at the state level, let alone the national level in the US.

🦃? It's not called Turkey anymore. It's Türkiye. 🙃😉

@BrettBaker-uk4te So they pay no monthly deductible then? They do.

Agree the us backed coups, but don't many of those countries try to enact socialist policies rather than social welfare policies?

Always thought it was because finland 🇫🇮 was fully on the mainland, while Norway 🇳🇴 and Sweden 🇸🇪 were on the Scandia Peninsula. So if Sweden 🇸🇪 got rid of their monarchy, they'd get kicked off the Scandinavian list? As far as Nordic goes, it could be language or more basic: nord = North. Though, I guess that would include Canada 🇨🇦and Russia🇷🇺 then 😂

6:55 Scandalous! That girl is wearing an Iceland 🇮🇸 shirt, not a Finland 🇫🇮 shirt. Show some patriotism! 😂

Healthcare too. Combine that in the equation for tax rates with private health insurance as is needed in the US, then the US has an average tax rate of 65%

Guess you could call it Suomi as they say 🇫🇮

Canada employs a FPTP voting system rather than proportional representation. This means the Conservative or liberal party will more than likely get a majority in parliament despite only getting 22% of the vote. FPTP (used in the US too) has candidates win with 15% of the vote as long as no one else gets a higher percentage.
