The second half applies all of it to the European Union. The sharpest observation is numerical: US federal and state government together run at around 30 per cent of GDP, while Finland alone is at 42 — so copying a Hamiltonian moment would mean moving taxes to Brussels and cutting the rate, not building a new layer on top.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "The Socrates of Kannus", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "02:35", "title": "Kos, Greece and a caretaker finance minister", "seconds": 155}, {"t": "05:07", "title": "Taxation without representation and the war of independence", "seconds": 307}, {"t": "07:48", "title": "From the Articles of Confederation to a federation", "seconds": 468}, {"t": "10:19", "title": "Civil war, states' rights and the federal debt", "seconds": 619}, {"t": "12:51", "title": "What has flipped — and the tax-rate arithmetic", "seconds": 771}, {"t": "15:24", "title": "Common defence, NATO and who would command", "seconds": 924}, {"t": "17:58", "title": "The Huuki Show and its three strands", "seconds": 1078}, {"t": "20:30", "title": "Why more substantive podcasts are needed", "seconds": 1230}], "sourceTranscriptType": "macwhisper_srt", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from the MacWhisper SRT transcript, YouTube metadata and the neuvottelija.fi episode record.
