    Default Finland Proposes Taxing the Rich to Take in More Refugees

    As Obama administration considers taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees, Finland plans on accepting 30,000

    Finland on Thursday proposed raising taxes on high earners to help pay for an influx of refugees that is expected to arrive later this year from war-torn regions in the Middle East and Africa.

    Finance Minister Alexander Stubb said the highest bracket of earners would pay one percent more on capital gains taxes, while those who make more than $81,000 USD (72,300 euros) a year would pay what Stubb referred to as a "solidarity tax."

    "These will help to cover higher immigration costs which we estimate to be about 114 million euros this year," Stubb said on Thursday at a press conference.

    Finland is expected to take in 30,000 new refugees, compared to just 3,600 last year, at a time when the numbers of asylum seekers from Syria, Eritrea, and Afghanistan, among other countries in the Middle East, are rising with meteoric speed.

    This makes me sick to my stomach. Yes, tax the rich but don't take in these fucking pests. Finland is in a downfall economically and they want more of these inept people? Everyone has a limit and we are beginning to face that.
