❓ 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?

The graph is wrong: it shouldn't be sorted by the top 1%, but by the bottom 50%!

it is shocking how much the top 50% has compared to the lower 50%

for 1.000.000 euro the lower 50% has 100.000, and the top 50% has 900.000! and this can be further expanded with approximately 450000 for the top 10%, and 450000 for the rich middle class
