Thinking what a state as Belgium earns to supply us with the welfare state...
And I am grateful for that...as for instance with my three visits a week to the hospital for each time 4 hours kidney dialysis costs to the state more than 600 Euro (516 British Pound)...if I had to afford it on my own...
But the state has also a huge income from all kind of taxes indirect and direct ones...
To take now the taxes on the wages for instance:
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Wages_and_labour_costsIn Belgium they are far the worst of the whole Europe...
http://www.verontrust.be/brievenB11/doc570.htmFrom 34.330 Euro a year income a worker comes in the scale of 53.5 % of his wage. Only Sweden is higher...
Average as I see it the netto wage is only some 64% of the brut wage...
And then the cost to the entrepeneur isn't also to minimize...

For 2.200 a month the entrepreneur pays 4.962 Euro Euro is 0.86 BP...
For 3.000 a month the entrepreneur pays 7.547 Euro " " "
And then you have still the indirect taxes fuel, cigarettes and all that...succession taxes, donation taxes and so on...
All that is a lot of money and the state has each year nevertheless a negative financial balance...
Perhaps if they start to work more efficient...or to cut in expenses...but cut in something voters are accustomed too is perhaps very difficult?...
And after all the working class has to earn it first before the state can start to collect its taxes...and for that there has to be work...provided by the big entrepreneurs and the class of "free professions" the "small entrepreneurs"...
On the French geopolitical forum that I already mentioned one "forumeur" said at the end we will come in France to Congolese circumstances, where one earner supports the whole extended family and even the rest of the village...
