Tuomo Saarni asked why the public sector was allowed to spend money recklessly without consequences. He urged reading about what the welfare area was ready to pay 170,000 euros for without bidding. At the same time, he criticized a person who had stated they wanted to pay higher taxes, deeming this unreasonable. (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that organizations wanted members of parliament in their boards to get more state or taxpayer money. According to him, politicians were therefore biased, and the activities should stop. #järjestötuet https://t.co/2YQkTfpENS #politiikka #verot #kansalaisaktivismi (translated)

Maria Rautanen questioned the transportation of foreign waste to Finland for energy production. She referred to information from Kaleva, which indicated that nearly 50,000 tons of waste had been brought to Oulu for incineration at Oulu Energy and Syklon facilities since 2021. According to her, waste had even been transported from the outskirts of a landfill in Rome and from the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Rautanen wrote that according to Kaleva, nearly a third of the imports had occurred with figures that had been mistakenly approved by the Finnish Environment Institute. She demanded a transparent investigation into the permit errors. Rautanen criticized the downsizing of Finland's domestic energy production, particularly the reduction of peat use due to taxation and emissions trading costs. According to her, Finnish contractors and energy entrepreneurs had ceased operations, machines had been sold, and expertise in the sector was disappearing as energy was produced by importing waste from thousands of kilometers away. Rautanen called for open life cycle assessments to justify the import of foreign waste, taking into account transport by road and sea, combustion emissions, ash, waste impurities, and domestic fuels replaced by imported waste. She also demanded information about the quality of the waste brought to Finland, its monitoring, and the effects of combustion on flue gases, heavy metals, and fine particles. Rautanen believed that Finland's energy supply should fundamentally rely on domestic raw materials, local labor, and supply security. She found it difficult to accept that waste transported from Rome was used for energy production while the use of domestic peat had been reduced, and she questioned whether this constituted sensible circular economy practices. https://t.co/2CjRydkxAO #ilmasto #energia #kiertotalous (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wrote that according to the interpretation of the Tax Administration, taxes of up to 170,000 euros should have been paid on an income of 41,000 euros, but the Supreme Administrative Court annulled the interpretation. He contemplated what kind of social media story the Tax Administration would create about the legal dispute and thanked for the work victory as well as for the precedent he considers important. https://t.co/x1NDdIyEbr #verotus #oikeus #ennakkopäätös (translated)

Aarne Leinonen named the target for cuts in the evening as the adjustment of pensions, which he estimated to be 2.6 percent in 2027 with costs amounting to 1,066,000,000 euros. He wrote that current retirees should participate in balancing Finland's public finances. According to him, the pension system was not sustainable because 25 percent of the taxes from the work of young people were for the benefit of retirees. #RatkaisutRahapulaan #Eläkkeet #Suomi #Talous (translated)

Mika Merano criticized the reported proposals to raise the retirement age to over 70 years and described the idea as extremely senseless. According to him, the proposals were based on the view that people would have an invisible debt to the state and that their role would be to produce tax revenue by working nearly until the end of their lives. Merano called for a reform of the pension system in the opposite direction. He argued that the state should provide only a small minimum safety net and shift more responsibility to the individuals themselves. He suggested a large-scale reduction in mandatory pension contributions so that people would have more money left from their salaries and could save for their retirement if they wanted. Merano justified his stance by emphasizing individual freedom and personal responsibility. He stated that the state should not dictate how long people should work or how they should use their money. #eläke #yksilönvapaudet #valtiopolitiikka (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wondered why tax revenue had increased despite tax cuts. He reminded that the leftists had previously claimed that tax cuts weakened the state's financial base and asked whether the reason for the economic distress was actually too high taxation. #verotus #talous #politiikka (translated)

Kari previously mentioned that he used to laugh at people who wanted to break away from society's hustle, but now he said he appreciates those who can do it.

Juho Romakkaniemi wrote that taxation was eased for this year and the annual tax revenue estimate was adjusted upward by 1.1 billion. According to him, reducing high marginal tax rates on labor increases economic activity and consumption. Romakkaniemi assessed that raising taxes on high earners would likely not increase tax revenue, but would weaken the overall well-being of Finns. #verotus #talous #hyvinvointi (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo wrote that he found it astonishing that encouraging people to pay higher taxes led them to pay more taxes. He previously wondered who believed the Earth was flat but said he no longer wondered about it.

Sture Fjäder wrote that, in his opinion, half of YLE's budget could be cut, as the remaining amount would be sufficient to handle the task of public information production.

Roni Arvonen wrote that, according to him, the people did not like the "forced lying" of tax funds, unlimited immigration, or Minister Partanen's wastefulness. He estimated that more daring action from the National Coalition Party could change the course, but described the party and its people as weak. Arvonen hoped that the National Coalition Party would remain permanently behind the Finns Party. #politiikka #verotus #maahanmuutto (translated)

Katariina Souri wrote that the price of food had risen by 25.1 percent since August 2021, while the rise in other consumer prices was around 18.1 percent according to her. She referred to a news article from Helsingin Sanomat and an estimate from researchers at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, which indicated that the necessity of food reduced the pressure on stores to lower prices. Souri noted that HS had not addressed the concentration of trade as a reason. According to Souri, the combined market share of the S-group and Kesko in the retail grocery sector was 82.5 percent, with the S-group controlling nearly half of the grocery market. She wrote that Finnish trade was the most concentrated in Europe and that the S and K groups were among the ten most profitable trading entities in the world. According to her, the combined operating profit of the S-group and SOK Corporation had grown from 280 million euros in 2021 to 495 million euros in 2025. In the first half of the current year, the profit had improved by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Souri claimed that the price received by primary producers and the profit development of the S-group had not progressed in the same proportion. According to her, a farmer or rancher was left with approximately 4–12 cents from a normal food euro, depending on the product, while most of the share went to the trade and the tax authorities. She considered the agricultural subsidies to effectively flow significantly into the profits and growth of the S-group and criticized the influence of the chains on zoning and legislation. Souri assessed that the duopoly in trade weakened the position of small businesses and free competition and restricted innovations and consumer choices. She wrote that politicians had failed to intervene in the situation. Additionally, she reported that Pellervo Economic Research had predicted at the end of September that food prices would rise in the following year as well. #ruoka #hintanousu #kauppa (translated)

Samu Mökillä wrote that Finland should reduce immigration and lower taxes.

He used derogatory language about immigrants. #Suomi #nuoret #verotus (translated)
