CBS Lobbies for Higher Taxes; Be More Like Finland!

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Tuesday spent an entire segment hyping the glories of Finland and the country's free stuff, chiding the United States for falling behind. With very little discussion on the nation's high taxes, reporter Holly Williams and the show’s hosts praised the country’s paid maternity leave, hospital care and even supposedly free nannies. Without offering much context, co-host Bianna Golodryga cheered the idea of dumping your kids in parks and handing them over to free nannies: “When I was there last summer, our tour guide told us women and families could just drop their kids off in the local park and they have paid nannies there where the kids go to work.”
