If you leave in some mid EU country, chances are a lot of your current government's policies are based on "sticking it to the man". The man used to be an upper-ish class dude (p96+), but due to how horribly slow and uneducated governments are at making data-driven decisions, the man is now a working or middle class dude. As a result, you will see property prices skyrocket in your area while the government takes 50%+ of your 5% pay raise, leaving you only some pocket change richer than before. But the property owners in your area will be richer every year because their great grandad hunted a bunch of whales or some shit, and so called progressive policy makers are clueless about wealth distribution.
