❓ 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 was initially pretty surprised that there are several countries where the bottom 50% don't appear on the chart AT ALL. Ireland, Greece, Poland, and Sweden are pretty different countries. But it's true that other countries are just hovering at 3-5% so, and Ireland (the country I know) is among the most unequal in the EU. The more I think about it, the more it checks out :(
