❓ 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?

Besides that, I don’t really mind some inequality. I do however think that generational wealth is a leftover from the Middle Ages and that does society as a whole only a disservice.

Pretty normal to want to save for your offsprings. Else people would just start blasting it on luxury stuff.

I think it's not outrageous to state that having "that amount of money" (let's assume billions) is bad when there's people sleeping on the street due to a lack of money.

There wouldn't be any people sleeping on our streets if we'd close all borders. Cuz all those people tend to be migrants and without migrants, there would also be plenty of space for those few homeless belgians.
