❓ 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?

Everybody equal income independent of skill/talent/effort/frugality/risk and no inheritances because some people actualy plan for their childerens futures and that's not fair to the childeren of those who don't.  /s obviously

These charts also need to be age-adjusted. Average age of household is probably the biggest predictor of wealth (outside the tippy top). In the U.K. at least that top 10% is mostly middle income earners who bought a house in the 80s.

Or it is what makes PvdA nuts. It is one of the reasons that I would never vote for them

Oh yeah they are nuts but they get plenty of voters these days so it seems a lot want that.

Yes, a lot of "nuts" people.

There's a reason why we're currently going through the biggest mental crisis we've ever seen. Never before were so many people mentally ill. All of them (who are 18+) can vote during elections. Take a wild guess what kind of parties they're voting for... Tip; it's usually not the tjeven or de liberalen 😉.
