Default How does Finland manage to be a welfare state with such low income tax?

The income tax rate for most people is about 17%, and even the highest earners don't pay above 30%.

How can they be a welfare state with such low income taxes? Or perhaps Finland isn't a welfare state in comparison to Sweden and Norway?
