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%).

  9. As a Finn (you, not me), might I ask as to why the finns party is racist, according to the host? He talks about replacement theory, which im not familiar with, but can use context clues that it's about immigrants replacing native ethnic finns. My question in that is, how is that replacement theory invalid or racist? For example, if I have a cup of coke and slowly pour in Dr pepper, when does the coke cease being coke and become more of a Dr pepper? And even if new coke is dripping into the coke cup, it's not fast enough to keep the Dr pepper pouring in from replacing the coke. Apologies if controversial, I am genuinely curious. Thank you. 😌🇯🇵

  18. @Seth9809  The cabinet in the US is powerless. What the president says goes. If the secretary or secretaries don't like it, they resign. At least in the parliamentary system, especially with proportional representation, multiple party leaders can force the prime minister to drop something or they'll threaten to resign, which threatens the PM's job.

  37. Exactly. Nothing says democracy like giving more power to the executive. "I love democracy" (insert smiling palpatine). The 6th republic would do well as a parliamentary system or even better as a Swiss federal system with each of its 18 regions (or each of its 96 smaller regions called departments) becoming semi-sovereign cantons with the federation of France. The 7 member collective executive council couldn't fire each other and would be comprised of leaders from different parties and regions. The symbolic presidency of the council would rotate. Each canton would mirror this too.

  58. Why isn't there a law that prevents people from naming alleged perps until after conviction? It's not a free speech issue as they have this law for minors, so that excuse has flown the coup (think that's the idiom, working on English). Can the person who the claim was made against sue her for lifetime of all the wages he would have lost from good paying work and pain & suffering from loss of face, because regular people would find it hard to get a good job after ($60k × 50 years + $5m p&s = $8 million).

  66. @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.

  67. 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.

  71. Perhaps a new law: Alleged perps remain unnamed until conviction (similar to how we treat minors, so not a free speech issue) Or If allegations are looked into and found to be false, the accuser must face the same punishment as the crime accused of (eg rape, assault).

Restore the true bicameralism instead of the 6 month delay so that bills passed by the Commons but failed in the lords must have a joint conference committee to resolve before being sent to the king for assent. If agreement can't be reached, then the bill fails. I might add double dissolution as in australia to prevent the deadlocks of the US.

Kinda analogous to the "BREXIT good, SCEXIT bad" mentality of the British govt. * yes, I'm aware slavery was a big part of it, but hardly the only issue. In addition, slavery was embedded in the constitution (⅗ of a person). The other was of sovereignty (states rights). Hmm. That sounds familiar.

  95. Wonder how russia would have faired with a proper parliamentary system rather than presidential. In that system, the head of state (king/president) is essentially a nonpartisan figurehead who ensures constitutional order. The head of govt (prime minister/chancellor) is the political leader. In such a system, the actual political leader would be bound by simple majority in parliament and could have the orders to bomb the parliament rescinded by the head of state who would order him removed from office, by force if necessary. In addition to those two, the political leader could be removed by the cabinet, or his political party. And if yeltsin were the head of state rather than the head of govt, then he would be removed as soon as he made a political statement.

  103. @IkeOkerekeNews  The parliamentary system, particularly with proportional representation and a monarch head of state, is the most stable form of democracy. Proportional representation allows multiple parties to be in govt (executive) and puts extra checks on the prime minister, and it allows more voices of the people. Monarch head of state prevents prime ministers/chancellors from taking over that office because they aren't part of the Royal dynasty, and it keeps the head of state from assuming powers that should be closer to the people and more easily changed (eg prime minister, cabinet, and parliament). Imagine the outrage if King Charles had the same powers as the French president. It should be the same for an elected "monarch". Also, the parliamentary checks and balances are more dynamic: 1) the cabinet can remove the pm if disagrees, or they resign and new elections called 2) the party removes the pm if he goes against the party platform 3) the parliament can remove the pm by a confidence vote 4) the head of state can remove if going against the constitution (he/she is the actual commander in chief, not the pm)

For comparison, the Swiss Federal Assembly (both houses of parliament) have 11 different parties represented. 4 of those are represented in the federal council (collective executive).

  118. Housing people shouldn't be a political issue anymore than the question "should slavery exist?" What can be political is how to do it. Progressives: the govt provides subsidies for the local average rent/mortgage. Socialists: the govt provides national housing service, which gives everyone a home (similar to the national health service in UK). Conservatives: in exchange for lower or 0 corporate tax, companies, or chambers of commerce for local small businesses, provide a housing allowance pegged to the local average rent/mortgage. Libertarians/independents who don't like the above: give everyone UBI, paid via natural resource taxes. The UBI is designed to have no more than 50% be for housing costs.

  129. Conversion to military from SDF would be in name only. Japanese SDF is already quite capable. The constitution just kept the SDF playing the peacekeepers as opposed to the main fighters outside japan.

  130. might I ask as to why the finns party is racist, according to the host? He talks about replacement theory, which im not familiar with, but can use context clues that it's about immigrants replacing native ethnic finns. My question in that is, how is that replacement theory invalid or racist? For example, if I have a cup of coke and slowly pour in Dr pepper, when does the coke cease being coke and become more of a Dr pepper? And even if new coke is dripping into the coke cup, it's not fast enough to keep the Dr pepper pouring in from replacing the coke. Apologies if controversial, I am genuinely curious. Thank you. 😌🇯🇵

  138. Imagine if news media were required to have a board of editors, comprised of one conservative, one libertarian, one progressive, one socialist, etc. And they all had to agree on wording and angle. That would bring an actual neutral media.

  139. "Melting pot of cultures..." Kinda. Each canton has its own culture, and each region has its own language. At the cantonal (state) level, it's mostly homogenous to ensure social harmony. At the federal level, all cantons are represented as well as the people directly. And the federal council (collective executive) has a mixture of different languages, different parties, and different cantons, to prevent one man rule.

  146. Also, the euro council and commission are pulling double duty on representation. Make the council the senate, and make the commission the collective executive (like switzerland) but with 7 members instead of 20+. 1 or 2 reps per region. Supposed to represent the whole EU anyway, not member-states

Even if she has some native background, she presents as white and that's where much discrimination happens. Rachel Dolezal in the US got removed from her position on the NAACP for not being black enough. Double standards? Confused.

  155. 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 😂

  159. Are local banks in the EU able to create currency the same way American banks can (i may be using the wrong terminology, but question still stands)? Can a bank in Ĉedenška, Czechia give a loan of €300,000 without having full 100% reserves, for example? If so, why can't the national central banks (or whatever still exists of them) do the same with a loan to the govt for social spending?

  160. 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.

  167. ​@FlameG102 Always wondered why the left in some countries (the right secretly supports to lower wages domestically) wants more immigration. The left once supported stronger unions, higher pay, and nationalised social services; now they are silent or just give lip service to unions. The left (labour parties) have become the conservative parties of yesteryear.

  171. What do you think about replacing the income tax entirely with a maximum wage (and benefits equating) that mirrors the minimum wage? Why have a min but no max? Conversely, what do you think of replacing minimum wage with a negative income tax?

  172. Does anybody have an opinion on changing the entire debt-based system? I don't mean with communism or anything. I mean, debt is replaced with equity. If you want to buy a home, you don't ask for a bank loan. Instead, the bank invests a percentage in your family (let's say 20%). You could buy back your equity or continue to pay agreed upon dividend annually (essentially a mortgage).

  173. ​@joesterling4299 Little late, but a simple equation could be used by most people instead of the bracket system to achieve what you're referring to. Remember though, tax companies lobby congress and would hardly want to lobby themselves out of money.

  175. Little late, but if I may ask: If you're making, let's say $9.9 million from your YouTube videos, why would you contemplate leaving Australia if it had a 70% income tax rate on income over $10 million as it wouldnt affect you? Even if you made $10,000,100, you'd only be taxed at the 70% rate on the amount over $10 million ($100). As such, you'd pay $70 extra. Not a socialist by any means, but please remember, the social welfare system was in place partially to stave off a communist revolution in many countries. Starving and homeless people aren't just going to curl up and die. They will mobilize and fight back. The social welfare system was a necessary compromise with the govt and business to continue capitalism. Lastly, if you made it this far (sorry), do you think a 3 tiered VAT/sales tax could replace the income tax without aggravating the balance described? 0-15% for essentials (housing, food), 25-75% for average goods, and 100-200% for luxury goods? Please adjust percentages if you want (I did say replace income tax).😊

  176. Could you please do a video on why even nordic model mixed market economies don't consider housing a free and universal resource like healthcare and education? I've always wondered that. Housing is more immediate for many than medical care or education. You can die from exposure or suffer mental issues.
