The small country of Finland, population 5.5 million, is often on the list of best places to live in the world. But the pandemic is causing big trouble for the Finns. Finland is a welfare state and cannot cope with the virus fallout.
Starting point is 00:04:25 At least 300,000 workers have been laid off so far, and the government cannot pay them unemployment benefits because the massive welfare state the country has in place has run out of efficient ways to get money to the folks. Now, Finnish citizens receive cradle-to-grave entitlements. You don't work, you don't have to work, we'll give you money. You don't have a place to live. We'll give you a house. You don't have anything to eat. We'll give you food. And that kind of a system absorbs all the money the country has. So Finland's system of jobless benefits cannot cope with the sudden surge in unemployment. The government says it will eventually distribute money. Eventually, what's for dinner tomorrow?

Once the private economy becomes overwhelmed by debt, the feds would step in and run everything, the entire economy. In order to pay for all the entitlements, Bernie Sanders, and some other Democrats are demanding, the government would have to seize the private property of prosperous Americans through onerous taxation as much as 90 percent. That's the fair share rules. So please pay attention to the pandemic's. political consequences. And one more thing. Sanders continues to pound the table about government-run
