We can get world-class benefits.
Why not?
- The US has a GDP of $83,000 per person.
- Finland has only $53,000,
- yet she is consistently first in National Happiness.

Finland’s benefits include:
- Universal health care with low co-pays and no connection to employment .
- Free higher education and free lifetime retraining.
- Minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation, plus holidays and paid sick leave.
- 320 days of paid parental leave for the birth of a child
- Heavily subsidized, high quality child care
- More generous pension system
- Better unemployment and disability benefits
Why don’t we have equivalent benefits?
They would only raise our taxes/GDP
to the average of the other OECD nations
