    Was ist die Mittelklasse


    Es gab einige Diskussionen über die Solidaritätssteuer auf Investitionsgewinnen und ob dies auf die Mittelklasse abzielt oder nicht. Das habe mich gefragt, was die Mittelklasse überhaupt ist, und ich fand diese Kriterien (in der Forschung bei KUL verwendet). Die Zahlen stammen aus 2022, fügen Sie also etwa 10-15% hinzu, um die Inflation zu berücksichtigen

      This only takes into account income, like the graphs say, including interests, rent payments and dividends.

      But it forgets to take into account CAPITAL. You can borrow against your assets, and create liquidity and disposable cash without leading to any „income“ event.

      Also, rich people that want to spend money, need to only sell assets for the amount they want to spend, in other words, 100% of their liquidation is their consumption. Poor people also have to pass by the tax man with their earned income from labor before they can put their savings in.

      The middle class is an illusion.

      Everybody wants to feel like they are middle class. If you are working hard, and finally can afford your second hand peugoet, you consider yourself middle class. If you are too poor to afford this bentley cabriolet and have to drive your E class all summer, you consider yourself middle class…

      The combination of income and assets is what is important, and that is very, very hard to pour into clean statistics.

      Is there a comparisson for the average costs? These numbers are about the income, they don’t take into consideration the different monthly/annual costs. For example, a young couple that jist bought their first house v an older couple who just finished paying off their hous. Both can have the same income, but obviously different costs?

      What about stuff like handicaps? Higher costs for special needs children?

      Middle Class is defined by wealth, not income. Everything you have, which has an economic value, is consider wealth. You can earn those 4k EUR Net, but be „rich“, because your family left you a 12 million mansion. There isn’t any Standard where middle class starts and finishes. This is usually done by institutions, media, us, etc…
