  64.  @rafm3068  Irrelevant who disagrees with me in this comment section. This is bernie's video and people equally ignorant and bubbled from reality watch it. What you did is known logical fallacy as argument from popularity. "Socialists and even Communists were against " I don't see how stalin is relevant to this. You think Stalin was only dictator? Again name single socialist or communist self-proclaimed society that wasn't oppressing or murdering people who didn't think like they did. "Libertarianism began and has always been Communist" Again not true, both communism and socialism require enforcement of rules through force. They do not believe that individuals have right to choose on their own. "The Nordic System may not be full regulation Socialism but it is more Socialistic " Economic freedom index disagrees. "Socialism to you only.means Stalinist" Nope, it means economic model where ownership of means of production in private sector has been abolished. Aka public ownership of means of productions. Finland and other nordics aren't even close to that. The fact that you keep insisting that charity is socialism just speaks out that you don't even know what socialism is. Ironically you have the american view of what is socialism. "This is why progressives in America would.gladly trade the U.S. " None of them would be for cutting down regulations by 80% and vastly decreasing income tax and corporate tax. "welfare programs like Universal Healthcare" We don't have universal healthcare, don't confuse universal healthcare to publichealthcare. "more union representation meaning higher wage" HAHAHAHA what a clown take. Wages are literally higher in states than in Nordic countries. "And there are regulations and checks to corporate power in Nordic nations." Less than in USA.

  95.  @8xottox8  That's funny because actually people who study economy are agreeing with me. In this case you're by definition a biggot. First of all you're wrong median income in Finland isn't as high as you claim. 3314 euros per month is the current one. It doesn't come close to the yearly salary you claimed. second you have no clue about brackets in income taxes. The 30% you mentioned isn't the case for people with mediam income. I literally earn more than that and I don't pay as high taxes as you claim I should. "It is not a net loss any more than running the rest of our society is. " you clearly don't understand math. You spending on total 6-9-years in university would be according to your own math in total of 60-90k. Then you should take into account how much of your taxes goes to actually the education. If I remember right Yle used to have calculator for this years ago. It literally easily takes many decades before people can pay back and in those cases they would need to be in high salary fields in the first place. Which are not common in Finland. "Your whole cry session about rich families" Cry? It's objective fact Finnish people keep track on people's backround and make statistics regarding on how many people from certain backrounds got into universities. You would need to be highly delusional and naive to think that someone from poor family can compete with someone from rich family when it comes to entrance exams to the law school for example. You do realize that wealthy people actually pay for private teachers to coach those rich kids to law schools? Entrance requirements are ridiculously high in those schools. Sure you can easily get to some schools which won't pay you much in future, but to actually get into higher income brackets... well good luck with that. With humanity studies you never get there. This is something that people with low IQ such as yourself fail to understand. The entrance exams are not fair and about 95% of the time only families from rich backround get in. Rest 5% would need to be highly driven people without any personal life and would need to dedicate every waking hour in reading and preparing for exams.

  96.  @8xottox8  I came to tell objective facts that the amount of taxes they will earn will never pay back the amount of money that Finnish people paid for his future. I don't see how that makes someone a biggot. However what you said about capitalists sure does make you one. "The median pay you state is higher than the one I stated" I'm pretty sure you don't even know what median pay is.... "I also don't have to take into account how much money goes into education, " You should when the subject of discussion is that will he ever be able to pay back the investment our country made for him. Our government is literally functioning on loses right now, which is not sustainable practice. "Your worldview is incredibl" Rofl your insults about my world views tells a lot about how emotionally immature you are. "You really don't have to be a rich kid and go to prep school to get into universities. " This speaks out about your ignorance. I actually knew people who tried to go to law school both rich and poor. Guess which one got inside in exams? You clearly don't even understand finnish system. Not everyone gets into school. People have to compete for the spot and the one who has most income and stable family can prepare the most. Which is almost always the rich families. " But if you want to get into IT for instance you just need to walk in and just like that you make good money." Not true, statistics disagree with you in here as well. However it's still easier than in law school. But the thing is... you don't need to waste 6-years of nation's tax money to get into IT field. It's actually field which people can study independently for free or for low prices. Studying programming doesn't really demand you to go to college. So IT as example from your case is actually bad. IT just proves that you're wasting society's money on something that you could literally get free if you're doing it on your own. Also I haven't deleted my comments. It's most likely you or your friends who false flag them so they are shadow removed.

  97.  @8xottox8  meds, it's just a fact that youtube removed them. Also I see that some of your comments have been removed. The fact that you feel the urge to insult me in every comment of yours proves that you're way too emotional and biggoted to have this conversation with anyone. I didn't complain about rich kids, I just pointed out that poor familes are literally paying education of rich kids in Finnish societies. Without ever seeing any benefits for themselves. " The ones that wanted to get in. " You don't try to get in if you want and I highly doubt your story. It's well established fact that only small fracture of applicants get inside to law schools in Finland. "Please spend more than a minute to think about the taxes being divided" I have literally made the math about this. Objectively speaking you will never pay enough taxes to ever cover your expenses to finnish society. This is literally the reason why our government is in debt and debt keeps rising. "such as the military or the income for politicians." Military is investment to safety, income for politicians is because it's literally their job to vote and draw laws. These are not comparable to free education. "Paying taxes towards that is still you paying back that investment that the government made on you when it paid for your school. " Sorry but I'm not getting anything for you going to med school or law school. There is literally no gain from me that I wouldn't gain if the schools weren't free. You're just rich kid crying that you should pay for education, instead of some poor family who can barely feed their kids. "You can study law for absolutely free as well though. " Actually you can't. Regulations, you can read the books but in order to get jobs related to that you would need to have certain degrees or licenses. Also not comparable to IT, one can easily prove that they know their stuff in IT.

  100.  @moya9450  Again your math doesn't add up. This system haven't even worked. We have several times done drastic cuts in welfare and education spending whenever they were about to collapse our entire nation. Now were taking debt to sustain unsustainable practice. I have actually done calculus about this and answer is no. This is nothing but a ponzi scheme. There is no investment being returned nor any profit in it. As I had said, the taxes you pay per month doesn't go entirely to education. It's split to different places and functions. Only SMALL FRACTION. Yle literally had made calculus for this: For someone who lives in Helsinki and earns 3000. Only 736e in year would go to pay the upper-level education. So if estimated cost for studying in university of Helsinki would be 10per Year... and in order to actually get meaningful degree you need to spend 6-years... 60 000 divide by 736 that would make 81 years paying taxes after getting your degree. Sorry but no one lives nor works that long in Finland. " Poverty is way more in capitalist countries" Statistics disagree, Capitalism has single handedly reduced poverty more than any other system on the planet. "Also those poor people you are talking about have equal chance to use this free education benefit." No they don't. They can't get into schools. They have to compete with rich kids with private tutors. "If it was like US they could never think of having high educations and good jobs." Not true, army exists and people literally have public schools in USA.

  106.  @moya9450  ACtually people can false flag to make them removed. Very common practice among left wingers. Also it's not against youtube's comment policies to be arrogant. Worse... you're only one actually acting arrogant in here. I literally have refuted all of your claims and even mentioned sources for mine. Meanwhile you arrogantly claim that science is on your side without ever saying a single source for your claim or for any that would contradict mine. " You are that much child that look at educational system as profitable shop" This is example of you being arrogant. You're insulting by calling me as a child. While putting yourself on above me. This is perfect example of arrogance. Also I never called education system as a shop. However it should be expected that people would return the investment to the society that society has made to them. Otherwise the society will run on loss. Which is not sustainable way to run society. "hey should put on police and judgment systems or even prisons. " All systems that are actually government's job to take care and highly important. People can pay their own higher education. What you don't see is that you're forcing lower working class workers to pay education for some elitists snobs who could've paid their own education anyway. "Every Finnish person or even others know exactly how great Country Finland is" Pretty sure that most americans would say same about their country or north koreans as well. This is argument from popularity and it doesn't make it true. "poverty in US is less than Finland " Finland is more capitalistic than US. You do realize that USA also has welfare system?

  128.  @kvakq  Name a fact that needs a source. "Average yearly income in Finland is over 40" This is blantantly false and you can even google it. I did look it up and it was way lower. Even in case if people would earn that much in average it still wouldn't give enough taxes. Let's see Helsinki has one of the highest tax rate. And 40k a year... Would make salary of 3333 a month... sorry to break this to you.. but no one from the basic working class earns that much. 2500 is something what teachers earn. Basic handiman get's something around 1800 a month. But let's see 3333 euros a month. Would be 837 of your yearly tax money going to upper education. This takes into account the taxes your employer has to pay for you as well. So... 60 000 divided by 837 that would make 71 years to pay back to the tax payers. You do realize that in Finland retirement age is 65? " it would not make any sense to pay for people that go to school if they would not pay that back by taxes. " Thank you for agreeing with me. Current system is non-senseical and the ones who benefit from it are upper elite and not the poor working class people who have to pay the education for elitists who will never contribute to the society what they took from it. " Ofcourse you would not pay it back because your education level is so low that you cant get a job." Lol what? You clearly don't live in Finland. I have low education and I earn more than your typical higher educated person in Finland. I'm literally part of the upper-middleclass.
