"What is the Happiest Country on Earth -- And Why?"
From The Young Turks
I hate these so-called scientific polls, which are really just left-wing, political pop culture polls in America that are designed to promote a basic political and economic philosophy.
I mean seriously, how would anyone in the world ever be able to tell who are even the happiest people or person in any given country, let alone who are the happiest people and countries in the world? Maybe they inherited a 100-billion-dollars from their grandfather when they're 21 and decided that they would buy their own airplane devote their lives to traveling around the world to poll people about how happy they are. And if you believe that: I hear there are beach houses in Alaska for rent with a view of the Kremlin in Russia, where you can watch President Vladimir Putin going swimming everyday.
Seriously, no one has time to do this and therefor could ever know who are the happiest people in any given country, let alone the entire Planet Earth.
And also lets clear up one for more socialist falsehood about Scandinavian social democracy that Cenk Uygur repeated in his editorial: there's so thing as free government anything, that is funded either through taxes or by borrowing the money from another country. Anyone who pays taxes (including Cenk Uygur) is smart enough to know that. Finland and everyone else in Scandinavia pays for all the government benefits that they receive, whether it's health care, paid leave, or anything else that's provide by their government.
