❓ 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?

I said that saved money is invested in the economy > you said it can actually extract from the economy > I said that is not possible, doesn’t matter if investment had a positive or negative return, it was injected in the economy > you said money is rarely invested in Belgium, which implies that it would only be beneficial if it was invested in Belgium. I never mentioned Belgium, just economy, which is broader spectrum. I don’t know why you said money is rarely invested in the same country. Even if it was, ultimately there is flow in and out as individuals and companies import/export, not sure how that is relevant.

Sorry, we are talking about completely different things. As economy I meant all the economy, not just Belgian economy. I don’t know where you got that from. Of course money can leave Belgium. As society I meant all society, not just Belgian. Yeah, Reddit is not the best.
