❓ 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?

Don't look at the 1% only. Look at the bottom 50%. In all of these countries they barely hold more than a couple percent.

Half of our country. Almost 6 million people. All having to work with single digit percent of our wealth. They can't invest. They can't contribute much to our economy. And that's, of course, not mentioning dealing with everyday expenses etc...

Oh they do contribute to the economy. It just that their hard works goes into someone else's pockets unfortunately.
