Nah. ...Well, don't get me wrong, the rich absolutely should be taxed, sure, but that's a different debate.

We don't have a nationally mandated minimum wage in Finland. Because the unions set their own minimum wages (which they adjust frequently to market conditions) and the unions also have actual legitimate power.

Maybe they should try this stuff in America too. It's fucking awesome.
