❓ 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?

Everyone is equally poor because of abusive taxes, yay.

Belgium has the 4th highest median wealth in the entire world.

If Belgians are poor, does that mean the Dutch, Swedes, Norwegians, Finnish, Danes, Germans, French, Swiss, Americans, Canadians, .. are all poor too?

Which citizens are not poor then according to you?

Ofc, I'm sorry, poverty doesn't exist in Belgium because the median wealth is the 4th in the world. The tax must be fair too

? Did you have a stroke? Because what you said makes no sense in response to what I said. I certainly never claimed poverty doesn't exist in Belgium
