Geert Noels stated that the richest 20% of the Belgian population paid 65% of wage taxes, compared to 7% by the lower half. According to him, those taxes financed social benefits and transfers that went back to the lower incomes. He wrote that the tax burden on the highest incomes could not rise further and noted that they had little time and organization to take to the streets. #belasting #socialeongelijkheid #economischbeleid (translated)
