In 2016 the Belgian government decided to lower the tax percentage on the employer side, meaning they are paying less taxes on the wages they pay, effectively making sure the state gets 8,6 billion euro less in tax revenue each year. Taxes that paid for welfare, retirement, healthcare, education, etc.

Now, nearly ten years later, the same figures that proposed the tax cuts are now making sure we get budget cuts in that same social security because we now have a deficit.

I think it is a clear example of how much the people at the top are planning ahead to fuck us over.
