The fact that's it's a tiny, monocultured, de facto ethnostate with near universal shared values, ethics, and history.
If anything, Finland is a lesson in how a disparate group of people in the poorest corner of Europe can come together, say "Looks like we're a country now, how do we want to do this thing?" and succeed.
It's one of the most ethnically and culturally homogeneous countries on the planet at >90% Finnish.
I said it is the primary vehicle by which they are transmitted for all of human history, which is a fact.
Where did Nazi culture and values come from?
Perhaps I read this wrong, what is a vehicle for whether a policy is successful or a failure?
EDIT: I just realized what you meant. Ethical values are transmitted through culture but whether they are followed isn't.
The degree of homogeneity of culture, values, and ethics are a major factor in policy success or failure.
Therefore, an ethnically homogeneous area is much more likely to have homogeneous culture, values, and ethics and policies that reflect those things.
Sometimes, that homogeneity entails characteristics that lead to a generous, happy, high trust, flourishing society, like Finland. Sometimes it leads to Nazi Germany.
So given that and the fact that there are other factors that could effect trust, happiness, and success doesn't that basically tell you it isn't a meaningful factoe?
You said "Different people, values, principles, ethics, concerns; all of which echo in life choices"
Isn't crime mostly connected to economic situations? Doesn't Finland have more social services than the US. Doesn't UBI help people who might otherwise turn to crime
If someone is raped and has to live with that mental scar is that a loss?
You're assuming taxes on income are the only way to lose money. We all pay for the effects of crime. We pay for the police, we pay higher health insurance for others injuries, etc
Considering Finland is the highest ranked country for happiness, has a low crime rate, social nets, and universal health care I think copying them is a smart move even to try it.
The main problem is the traitor evangelicals who wield power here while they use the government for money and contributing little the economy. They're are filth that we need to clean up first before we can improve this country
You didn't answer the question.
The majority decided that paying higher taxes is worth the benefits.
Why did they decide that and why do they trust the receipts of those benefits to use them appropriately?
Like it or not, the overwhelming majority of human history and culture is ethnocentric. It should not be a surprise that the ethnic values, ethics, and ways of living continue to be the dominant force in an area that has remained the same demographically for centuries.
That's not to say the culture, values, and ethics are inextricably bound to the ethnicity, but it is without a doubt a vehicle for sustainment and major factor in policy success or failure.
