  • Again, I’m not against this initiative in it’s entirety. I’m just remarking it doesn’t tackle the real problem. And to answer your question, having savings around a million euros isn’t weird for western Europeans. The standard of living here is fairly high. The average starter home is around 400k euros where I live. Meaning regular 4 people family homes are almost double that. Again. I’m not against this proposal. But it’s just populist pandering. Most people just read the title and go “yeah eat the rich”. I know Paul Magnette. I’d never vote for him cause he’s not a sincere politician. He’s a populist. It’s the modern political disease, they’re all populists. No one is honest anymore. They’re all there in your face just to get votes. This proposal is nothing more than a simple ad and power grab. I wish it were different. I really do. The real problem is that no one who works for someone else earns their fair share. Corrupt governments won’t solve this.


  • I’m not against this initiative per se. But this is just another tax on middle class people and doesn’t tackle the real wealth being hidden in multinationals that don’t pay any tax and hold governments hostage by threat of moving their employment away. They are the problem. They pollute like no other because no one is ever held accountable.


  • Belgium’s, quite a bit off. I’d frequent the hell out of a place that would sell beer that cheap. Most places sell 0.5l’s for around €6 nowadays. The lowest price store bought is ridiculous here though. It’s around 90 cents per liter. Most people have some prejudice around it because of the price but it’s actually a very good beer. Carapils I ♥️ you!!!
