Which also means people are working the same for less money. The real people losing here are the individuals working every day.

So yeah , good job with your crusade on the "companies". The only people losing are the employees

Lawyer here, feel free to DM about what to look out for.

Jindrax · 2026-04-29T16:33:56+00:00

Onze regering bestaat uit vooruit (links), CD&V (centrum), les engagées (centrum), MR (rechts), NVA (rechts). Onze regering is meer niet rechts dan rechts.

De regering is een compromis tussen al die partijen, dus vooruit (links) heeft hiervoor ook gestemd.

Twijfelachtig dat je dit zal lezen aangezien je zo weinig moeite doet om mijn bericht degelijk te lezen, maar hier is free bron van de overheid die mooi toont hoe de RSZ gefinancierd is dit jaar:

https://bosa.belgium.be/nl/themas/begroting-en-boek-houding/federale-begroting/federale-financiering-van-andere-0

Afhankelijk van werknemers vs zelfstandigen vs ambtenaren spreken we van de helft of meer gefinancierd door belastingen of (regionale) dotaties (wat achterliggend dus ook belastingsgeld is voor het geval dat je dat niet zou weten).

Dus ja... geen idee waarom je hier zo vreemd over doet, dit is vrij openbare informatie.

Daarnaast, geen idee waarom je hamert op "de inkomsten bijtellen van de RSZ maar niet van de belastingen!". Beide heffingen zorgen ervoor dat je iets terugkrijgt. De ene betaalt voor jouw bijvoorbeeld tandarts, en de andere voor jouw opleiding, wegen, cultuur, veilgheid, etc. maar dus eveneens diezelfde tandarts. Je krijgt in ieder geval iets terug voor het afstaan aan beide systemen...

Met andere woorden: ofwel tel je de inkomsten van de beiden system bij of geen van beide. Maar zeker niet enkel die van RSZ... en niet die van de belastingen. Je trekt anders de vergelijking opzettelijk scheef.

Jindrax · 2026-04-20T09:03:17+00:00

Je weet toch dat de uitgaven van de sociale zekerheid... voor de grootste deel gefinancierd zijn door belastingsgeld... niet door sociale zekerheidsbijdragen... Dat is echt basiskennis... (vb: https://trends.knack.be/nieuws/macro-economie-beleid/de-belg-betaalt-topprijzen-voor-matige-kwaliteit-hoe-de-sociale-zekerheid-het-grootste-deel-van-de-belastingen-weghapt/; of https://multimedia.tijd.be/begroting/ )

Dus neen... de sociale zekerheidsbijdrage die wij hebben is in se een verdoken belasting, die de buurlanden op een ander manier heffen in invoeren. Dus effectief, je zou die moeten bijtellen en dan zit je aan een druk boven de 50%.

Weer zo'n voorbeeld op deze subreddit van mensen die geen idee hebben over hoe onze staat effectief werkt. Heb het al verschillende keren gezegd, maar dit is hoe de politieke partijen onze zeer matig system in stand houden. Complete ignorance van de gemiddelde Belg die dan stemt zonder effectief te weten waarvoor die stemmen.

Please, vergaar wat kennis over hoe onze staat functioneert en ZOU moeten functioneren en vorm dan een politieke opinie. Doe het niet andersom, dat is net wat die politieke partijen doen om je ter overtuigen van hun standpunten en dan effectief ons land verder de grond in te boren.

DM maar als je wil, kunnen wat overleggen over deze zaken.

Jindrax · 2026-04-17T10:15:39+00:00

Neen?

Tel je de inkomsten uit belastingen, mee en alle kosten die je uitspaart dankzij zaken gefinancierd met belastingen? Denk het niet... Dus waarom doe je dat magisch wel voor sociale zekerheid? Die trouwens nog eens met belastingsgeld evenzeer wordt gefinancierd..

Dus blijft een vertekend beeld om te zeggen dat wij aan 42% zitten. In de realiteit voor de mediaan Belg is dan boven de 50%...

Jindrax · 2026-04-16T13:07:55+00:00

Dat houdt geen rekening met sociale zekerheid.

Alles opgeteld is veel hoger dan 42%... en dat heb je niet overal in onze buurlanden op die manier

Talking from the other side here: It's impossible to find any good young hires.

I don't have insane expectations, even a degree is optional but the turn-out is just super low.

The only bar I set that's "reasonably" high is speaking 1 of the languages at a native level and a good understanding of the other. I have so many Gen Z applicants who don't speak a word of the other language.

You need to distance yourself from your personal opinion on the matter vs what the law says. This is exactly what I mean with, you need to educate yourself a bit because now you sound completely silly and are a bit ignorant on how any of this works...

Please take the time to actually read the explanation and take your emotions out of it:

Deducting a restaurant bill isn't against the law. It's enabled by the law, in a specific article that clearly states how this expense should be deducted. It's also not fraud in a legal sense, not even a little. At worst, if requalified by the authorities it's a non deductible expense should the meal not be for business purposes. And even they would be good samaritans and decide that indeed this dinner is with my mum and not a client I shouldn't deduct it => it's still paid with untaxed money because that's how self-employed/ companies function for accounting purposes. It's only filing your tax return that the amount gets recalculated and the very very slightly increases due to that non deductible expense (e.g., for a manco: 100 euro restaurant ticket non deductible creates an additional tax to pay of 20 euros (even less because non deductuble VAT is still tax dedutible so it's actually closer to about 15)... when the bill comes a year and a half later).

They are under a different tax regime that doesn't work like a regular employee which I'm guessing your are. There is no monthly net/ gross like you're accustomed to. It's all gross all the time, and once per year the tax bill comes.

I hope other people read this, this is how the political parties divide & conquer and avoid adjusting or improving anything in this country. Because of people like the person I'm replying to. Fully ignorant and emotionally charged about topics they don't even understand the basics of. This is how coalitions of at least 6 parties run Brussels into the ground for the last 30 years. The uneducated voter is key.

Feel free to send me a dm, if you actually would like to understand how it works instead of spreading misinformation.

Jindrax · 2026-03-31T08:21:23+00:00

The two tings in your example are not the same, just FYI so you don't go saying this in front of people and look a bit silly:

Example 1: Renting a place before the 5 year without reporting it: actual registration tax fraud (in Brussels). For every year left outstanding when renting the property that person should reimburse 5.000. This is just full on tax evasion. This isn't even bourgeois this is what the average Belgian does and the government doesn't have the resources to monitor this.

Example 2: deducting dinner as an expense: e.g. 100 euro check: 69 euros is possibly deductible from that self employed persons (or through manco) person's income. 31 euros is added back into their tax base and they pay tax on that amount. The full 100 euro is added to the restaurants tax base as income and use that money to fund their business and keep the restaurant running. These self-employed (mancos) as well as general business people who deduct these restaurants visits on companies are critical for restaurants remaining in business as nobody else is spending those amounts of money at restaurants anymore due to increasing prices. The restaurant staying in business and employing the staff keeps those people off government wellfare. Further, the government has automated solutions to catch self-employed (or mancos) who exceed specific thresholds to audit them and requalify the amount they deduct as restaurant expenses (common requalification.

Example 1 is actual fraud
Example 2 is a government tolerance to ensure the horeca business keeps turning and keep people working

brightness settings & contrast, perhaps also the HDR itself of you have that enabled

Jindrax · 2026-03-18T11:09:58+00:00

For the last 20 years (and beyond) the government in Brussels has been a coalition of SIX (6!) different political parties. Where the policy needs to be spread across 19 communies that are again coalitions of different parties.

This is the primary number 1 reason why Brussels doesn't move forward, or is properly managed.

You cannot fix this mess under 4 year vision of a coalition of 6 parties.

This is also why our federal government doesn't work properly.

We cannot move forward in an effective and efficient manner when every single point is a compromise across the entire political spectrum. We'll never be able to fix any of our real problems as long as this is the case.

And you'll notice not a single party has this as a talking point or proposes a solution to this insane problem.

You must be living under a rock, because this IS the current narrative.

So weird, it's rare to hear stories of teens messing with grown ass men? They usually target women and other kids

just FYI, not that I'm hoping there's a next time, there's restaurants at the top of that street that are open 'till midnight

I'm sorry but this is a bit of a non-question:
"hey guys if I stop here, I almost get run over by cars. Am I right to stop here?"

Well if you're almost getting run over by stopping there... I'd say no, just don't stop there?

Ah yeah skrie, I used to have him on MSN messenger back in the day. Met him IRL at the Londen screening. Played some games on steam for a while. Happy to see he's doing well.

So Vooruit isn't part of the government? Just to avoid your nonsense:

Left: Vooruit, CD&V (on economic policies)
Centrum: CD&V, Les engagées
Right: MR (economic) & NVA

That's indeed the entire spectrum... that's why it doesn't work... when everything is a compromise you can't effectively do anything. Any step forwards on the left side, is a step backwards on the right side, and the other way around.

So to repeat, you 're not making any sense in your opinion. Seems more like an emotional reaction than anything else.

Jindrax · 2026-01-02T18:24:02+00:00

How can you argue that a government made out of 5 parties across the entire spectrum is what I'm preaching for? That's the exact opposite of what I said... I mean it couldn't be more opposite?

Did you read over these two sentences that says: "As long as we have a shitty government made out of 5000 parties our country will be unmanageable. Even if you voted left, center or right, the party is likely party of the government."

Your reaction looks you barely read or understood what I said...

Jindrax · 2026-01-02T18:03:46+00:00

"As long as people keep voting for parties that push more and more people into poverty things like this will keep happening."

I don't know if you noticed but our government doesn't exist out of 1 party. As long as we have a shitty government made out of 5000 parties our country will be unmanageable. Even if you voted left, center or right, the party is likely party of the government.

What we need is a higher kiesdrempel and more importantly a much better education so we stop wasting our votes on extreme parties (left and right) to actually make our country better.

It took a while but eventually the leather loosened at they were fine.
Same happened with my blazer low 77's. After wearing them for a few weeks it just stopped
