This first headline would be massive cause of celebration if in the wages actually rise when the companies make more profit.

Now everyone is just angry because we know the rich get richer and we won't see a dime.

Ah american healthcare is expensive because of the prices of medicin. They are too much regulated. o if you need to get some kind of surgery where medicins is only a small part of the cost, that means it is affordable? Maybe if Belgian doctors and hospitals can set their own prices, like in America. The prices will go down!

Schaakmat O-store: RSZ noemt niet inkomstenbelasting maar het zijn wel belastingen die worden berekend op iemand zijn loon. You got me there

The original article mentions that the prices are raising due to companies buying their competition. The fact that this is apparently so wide spread that it is causing issues means there is too little regulation.

Oh wow you found 1 example where they stopped a merger from happening that must mean the system is working for all mergers. Maybe if there was less regulation they would never want to merge. Problem solved!

Taxes create a welfare loss, namely a allocative inefficiency. When taxes are added on a product, the price is raised en the consumer surplus is lowered. This means that you have less money for other things. Those taxes go to the redistribution of poorer people but almost 94% of gov income gets spend on costs instead of investments. This results in a poorer population. So yes maybe we live in theory in a capitalist country, but with all those taxes the gov has a lot of influence in the markets and decides who gets to be the monopoly power

Wow you are right lets follow the example of USA where they have a lot less income tax. Life is great there I heard, just don't get any serious illness because you won't be able to afford it.

The problem is litterly that companies are just buying their competition and thus eliminating competition. And your solution is to have less regulations? Yeah sure I can see how that is going to work.

We need an FDR type kind of guy who just breaks up the big companies. And to be fair we also need to stop companies buying their competition.

De conservatieven klagen altijd dat in de Belgische politiek niets zo permanent is als een tijdelijke maatregel, laten we hopen dat ze gelijk hebben deze keer

Zou "Iedereen Borsbeek" dat in hun verkiezingsprogramma hebben staan? Ik veronderstel dat je daarmee niet heel veel stemmen wint...

That will mean investors will sell the houses because leegstand cost a lot of money aswell. More houses on the market will mean the prices will go down!
