Rich, richer, richest

According to the National Bank, the average Belgian is richer than ever.

See : http://www.demorgen.be/dm/nl/996/Economie/article/detail/256597/2008/04/26/Belg-is-rijker-dan-ooit.dhtml.

That is pure statistical horse manure. I never met the average Belgian. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.

Statistics ... and bankers - an explosive mixture !

By the way : I am looking for a good translation of "volksverlakkerij".
