Minister of Finance Matti Vanhanen is an experienced politician.

Vanhanen has a point. The problem is, his government isn't listening. Now he is proposing changes to corporate taxation that would bring investment, growth and jobs. But the ideology of the green-left government eats these for breakfast. And it is very likely that Vanhanen will jump to the sidelines and focus on building his detached house in Nurmijärvi as early as next summer.Earlier in the week, Vanhanen and his group of ministers presented an EU recovery package, which is otherwise a very good package, but it is too expensive, slow, too hard for Finland and it will not even be revived. On the contrary, it distorts competition both in Finland and in the European Union. And Vanhanen's body language reveals very clearly that he understands all this. It didn't become unique, it didn't come from the exact limits, but came a package, the billion-dollar cost of which will be lowered in the 2050s and the support received by Finland will decrease time and time again. Now it is EUR 2.7 billion and is falling all the time. And Finland will pay at least EUR 8 billion for this. In the short term, the governing parties will take turns trying to tear up the rhetoric that is favourable to themselves, aiming only at municipal elections. The Greens are at the forefront of venting more than a billion contributions to green growth. We still need to know what that means. You would think that the Centre Party would read very carefully a recent study in which only two per cent of companies thought the government's coronavirus activities were very clear and predictable. I mean, 2%. On the contrary, well over half of companies consider the government's actions to be confusing. And it has been extremely confusing from the point of view of non-entrepreneurs. And now it is beginning to show up in the support of the governing parties as well. What's Vanhanen doing? He's got a point. He says you can't live on debt and you have to make sure the bottom of your economy. Vanhanen proposes a billion-dollar investment in the Research and Development Fund. That sounds good, but I think we already have enough of these structures when we have Sitra and Business Finland and a lot of things. He's looking for more public commitment beyond government. That is, that companies have confidence in the future, the courage to invest, grow and hire more people to work. I agree with this objective. Even more importantly, Vanhanen's proposal is for a larger structural change in corporation tax, in which profits left in a company would be taxed less than profits paid out. I have spoken about this many times before and this should be taken forward. This will create investment, growth and jobs. And without them, this welfare society will not be run. Interestingly, some time ago Vanhanen said at the seminar that this group, the green-left government, did not dare to open up corporate taxation because he has no idea what will come from there. Time will tell what will happen to the Government and the Centre Party when Vanhanen goes to Nurmijärvi.Hallltus' attitude to reforms is well explained by Minister Pekonen's statement that in his time he will not touch earnings-related unemployment security. But isn't Minister Pekonen, who has successfully hidden the coronavirus of the year, a short-term minister and going on an exchange?
