So they can buy more assets? I don’t see how this will work, high-income earners don’t spend, middle and low income do. You spend money and stimulate economies when have to because it’s survival. I’ve never seen the benefit of helping the top end of town because they don’t trickle down anything, they bank more money.
I’m not against wealthy people, a lot have earned it from hard work and perusing a job/dream to make it happen but they don’t need the help.
If our kids and young people are struggling we are fucked, they can’t afford food, homes, cars, KIDS remember those rare species? The issue that Finland doesn’t have enough of?

I think it’s very good. Finland has trouble attracting businesses and has some of the highest taxes in Europe. It brings it more in line with local competition.
I also think that in few minutes we will get half a dozen comments from Americans, crying how “Finland will turn in USA”, because they “lowered taxes for the rich” there, while completely disregarding the difference between the two countries.
And twice that comments from communists, socialists and marxist crying about “taxing the rich”, claiming that it’s oppressing them, “the middle class”, while not acknowledging that: 1. there are practically no rich people in Finland; 2. they are the poor class, not middle class.
And also this comment getting about hundred downvotes, because that’s unpopular opinion in this echo chamber.

I’m a high earner and the only thing this is going to do is that I will have more money to invest. I am not going to buy any more services or products, nor will I work more. There won’t be more money going into the economy.

Finland and generally Nordics are the worst place to be in middle class. They ensure you’ll never be wealthy.

Just means more dividends for stockholders and foreign hedge funds…is that going to help the economy and dept? Not in a million years..lol

I think that should only apply to small companies. Then should add ability to give temporary tax cuts or other perks to larger companies that want to move their business to Finland from other countries. Not give them automatically, but should make it easy to negotiate them to ones where it would be valuable for country.

This government keeps showing us they only care about corporations and the wealthy. This is in no way going to help the people who can’t afford food or rent.
Either
a) the government doesn’t care or
b) the government doesn’t understand that
So we have the option of the government being greedy or incompetent – neither mutually exclusive.
I’m so tired of this everlasting illusion that conservatives are somehow better at handling money and that they should be in charge.

It’s just going to go into the rich people’s bank accounts. Doing nothing for the economy, just sitting there. The rich will keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer, and our middle class will get smaller. No money to the poor or middle class means people can’t spend on anything else than necessities. And not even necessities as much, I already know people who are going hungry on some days with how unreliable and little the government aid they need is. Grey area cases where they’re not disabled enough to get disability benefits but too disabled to be able to work full time so that they could keep a job that would pay enough for them to not need benefits. No money means more crime to get by, less safety. No one will be happy at that point. Not even the rich, fearing they will be stolen from, their houses broken into. I’d get it, and support it, if this was to help small businesses, small, local, businesses got a tax cut or some funding, that would be awesome. But big businesses? They don’t need that crap! It’s just extra income on top of their already massive profits. I don’t mind businesses getting big but I do mind the government funding them further when people who need the money more are being cut funding from. It would be different if we were in a time of prosperity where everyone got a living amount of money from government aid and everyone’s salary was better than the bare minimum to live, if a minimum salary could support a person living alone with a little left over so that they could choose to save for a year or two to go on vacation. If people depending on student aid or disability benefits didn’t have to choose between food, meds, and rent, but could just pay for all of them. Then I wouldn’t mind the rich funding other rich people, as long as these needs being met for the rest of us were quaranteed, protected.

I think it’s typical of right wing governments globally. Use the excuse of no money to increase taxes that affect lower income earners more, make public sectors worse, give money to the wealthy, cut taxes for the wealthy and when public sectors are so bad they allow a private sector to take it’s place.

With ai replacing jobs I’m sure this is a smart move for some reason I cannot see. With less income taxes collected due to loss of jobs, what better way to plan for the future than to reduce taxes collected from businesses, too. After all, they are only going to be making record profits with the increased efficiency thanks to automation.

Mixed feelings, on the one hand I get to pay less income tax, but on the other they are gutting all services so I will end up paying more on the long run. I’d rather keep paying higher tax if it meant keep the same level of service.
