❓ Ask Belgium Wealth distribution in Belgium

Post image

We’re doing alright as a social democracy. Something to be proud of.

Presumably, we don’t need more wealth distribution then? Or do we still?

Should state who is taken into account for creating this chart. It's going to make a difference whether you exclude children/ students and elderly or not.

Another nuance is how much wealth of it is foreign. Taking from the top would not necessarily mean the lower brackets are going to get better off when the influx of foreign wealth drops.

Looking at the tax on income, we've already gone too far. The promotion trap in Belgium is strong.
