  1. They should introduce the automatic index of wages to all EU countries. The fact that wages are able to catchup a part of inflation is one of the reasons of the small gap between the 1%. 

  2. Rijden toch verdacht veel supercars rond hier

    …en bewoonde riante megavilla’s

  3. Is all due to the taxing system?
    I knew Belgium had a nice distribution of wealth but I’m surprised were the best at it

  4. Belgium may have the highest taxes, but at least it taxes EVERYONE!

  5. i highly doubt the 25% is only in Greece, Currently we have the biggest redistribution from bottom to up since decades.

  6. Belgian here: here the problem is that around 10 percent of people are very wealthy, not 1 percent…
    Families with 5 houses and 5 apartments,

    While there are also 25 percent of young people that will never be able to buy a house anymore

    And there are also 10 percent of people that are chronically mentally ill/ burned out ( among the highest in the world)

    due to the very high pressure in society/ work/ traffic/ antisocial behavior

    We also have a system of early retirement, for around 20 percent of people
    The rest has to work until 68 in difficult circumstances for 1300 euro pension( which is the rent for an appartment + electricity/ gas/ water)
