1. Wages don't rise as much as they used, more unemployment, cheaper goods !

2. Lower wages, or more equal wages throughput the EU at least, this might prompt the need for tax reduction (taxes on wages at least) which will force our bloated government to shrink. However, due to the fact that more than half our voters are retired, they will continue to support the draining of funds from the working people, this will lead to a lot of capable people leaving for the newer EU countries. Western Europe will become the EU version of Florida.

3. End striking rights for government workers, seriously attack the power of the unions, lower taxes and/or completely change the way they calculated (In Belgium filling in a tax form is harder than rocket science). Show some guts.
