How are Northern Europeans the happiest countries when they

they know the joy of taxation

>>76792214
no turks

they have so much money left they can afford everything
the taxmoney go to their free education, gov programs, okay healthcare

its a win win situation, only middle class wanabe greedy jews hate taxation as if thatd prevent them from becoming rich

Because even after my 29.7% tax I have more money left than I need every month.

And since my taxes has already payed for all other expenses like healthcare etc I don't have to worry about such things.
I can spend and save as much money as I like.

>>76792214
They effectively pay less than Americans for many essentials

>>76792214
The taxes we pay are directed back into the society, mostly.

>>76792250
Lol,no Turks. We've got 400000 roaming this country

>>76792214
Ugh, We are too depressed to even be on this list.

>>76792214
They earn a shitton of money and don't have to struggle about anything.

>>76792214
Taxes that go to society rather than personal is good.

How can you be happy when half of your income goes to the State and is spent mostly on Southern Italy?

>rich people can afford psychiatric care
woah.... makes think.... next thing you're gona tell me that they diagnose more tumor in population than OECD avrage as well

Well I know my taxes goes into society, sure some fund the refugees bla bla but most of it still goes back to me and my family.
>healthcare
>education
>social security
Pretty much everything we need is paid for by taxes including infrastructure etc.
And I pay around 25% in taxes, still around 2900 dollars left each month. And I only work 6 hours/day.

Antidepressant consumption is a meme statistic because it's prescribed to just about anyone for something as simple as being stressed at work. I'd imagine it going down since it's all been exposed in media already.

Because so many things are free when you pay high taxes. When you have free education and healthcare there are just less things to worry about.

Also being a small rich country is generally a good thing.

>>76794677
Live is good. I don't care either.

>>76794701
This.
Got antidepressants prescribed for having headaches and a bad stomach..

>>76792214
Happiness in the North is simply the absence of suffering. It's similar to apathy, which pervades all aspects of life there.

>>76792214
Decent equality when it comes income, so literally the hefty taxes

Something I've learned is every pro-northern Europe stat is usually memes based. These drunken alienated people only say they are happy to save face.

Northern Europe has over double the suicde rate of Southern Europe. Food for thought when gauging happiness.

>>76794677
I work 8 hours/day and have $2000 left after taxes each month. Life isnt fair.

Any goods are very expensive in Sweden.

Directly linked to the use of antidepressants.

Seriously, who would seriously prefer any of these northern shitholes to Italy / Greece / South of France?

Because those meme, happiness based indexes are total bullshit based on arbitrary nonsense. Like how do you even quantify whether one country is more happy than the other one, it's the same shit with that retarded well being score.
Fuck Europe and their shitty meme stats.

>>76798415
Italy and France are great, but Greece is a certified shithole. It's more than just GDP crap too, there's nothing good about modern Greece

>>76798502
Partying with cheap booze in Ios is not representative of Greece, my British friend.

>>76792214

Because of the methodology used which clearly puts Northern Europe qualities over others criteria that are not used.

Not Saying the Swiss are not happy, just that I am not sure we're happier than our neighbours (except for the french, those cunts are depressive as fuck)

>>76798415
the entire youth of italy, everybody there wants to get the fuck out ASAP and it makes total sense cause there's jack shit to do over there, nice food and scenery only get you so far in a country that's completely and utterly corrupt and a huge youth unemployment rate.

Their high taxes also remove a lot of high costs that are suffered by other with their low taxes, specifically school and education.

What the fuck is going on in Iceland?

>>76792214

>>76798596

90 people per 1000 having anti-depressants would not massively affect a general populations happiness.

Stop being so retarded. This doesnt measure happiness or depression, it only measures consumption of antidepressants.

I bet the consumption of antidepressants in North Korea, Syria, Somalia, Sudan etc is 0 or close to 0 - does that mean they are happier than all of the countries listed?

>>76798730
>it only measures consumption of antidepressants
And that's what the chart says.
