Yup we'll take our 18000 jobs and the billion euros a year every year we will be putting into the Belgian economy by 2012 and nob off to Leipzig. I'm sure the german chancelor will find a use for the 200 million or so euros we pay in tax each year.

Perhaps the Pain in your A*** could be cured by one of the many hospital beds funded out of the tax we pay. Or alternatively you could drive out to a leisure centre on one of the well lit motorways paid for out of the tax we pay.
Take a walk in one of Brussels many parks paid for ....wait for it, by the tax we and other companies and individuals pay. Life is a balance. If you want ammenities and the jobs, schools , roads, sewers that modern living demands then you have got to make sacrifices.
Tough call?
I dont think so.
We have spent well over a billion euros buying newer quieter aircraft over the last 3 years mainly to satisfy BRU residents. Now due to political infighting in the Belgian govt you want more. Get a grip. Aircraft noise overall in the industry is down something like 75% in the last 20 years as older types are phased out. We are meeting our side of the bargin.
