Greece announces new property tax

Just a question here: How does the Greek Government expect to collect any of these new taxes when no one will be able to pay them because they aren't working because they are rioting in the streets

Don't invest in Greece. Greek governments are all corrupt. Don't invest in Greece.

What a hypocrites these Greek politicians are. They decided, in a symbolic move aimed at a public angry at politicians, to dock a month's pay from all elected central and local government officials while they are exempted from paying taxes. The Greek ambassador in China gets paid 9000 Euro per month plus his salary in Greece tax free with all traveling expenses paid by the taxpayers. A Greek civil servant in the ministry of foreign affairs assigned to work in a foreign mission get paid twice plus hundreds of benefits every month, all are tax exempted with all traveling expenses paid by the taxpayers. Greek Civil servants get paid massive salaries with unbelievable benefits with a secured job for life which means they cant get the sack nor made redundant. This crisis is caused by the two major political parties to gather votes for elections and now we the Greeks will pay the mistakes of these greedy corrupt politicians.

Here in the USA the bulk of the lay masses do think that the government is the answer. Folks wanted and got another 52 weeks of unemployment on top of some that already have 99 weeks. Political leaders think all in short term. Many really do not care in the recent Obamacare has scared my health insurance companies and driven my premiums sky high. To the Joe on the street and unemeployed, free healthcare is a dream. For me as an employer my premiums have gone from 880 to 2430 bucks per month per person, ie un affordable. Thus here I had to fire an entire production line in the usa and now have the parts made in China. JOE six pack that is unemployed that we businesses are full of cash that I am evil for firing folks to stay afloat. The lay masses think that none of these social policies have a high cost. The USA might become like Greece where the masses riot once their 151 weeks of unemployment is cut.

the reason bigger government is not the solution is that Government are net takers of taxes private sector is net payers of taxes logic implies that we must have more net tax payers than net tax takers.

Democrats Bigger Government growth plans will only work off more borrowing and borrowing is causing us to go broke-

unless we eliminate the debt- what is happening in Greece will happen here in America

Greece just needs to have some leaders that preach HOPE and CHANGE and all woes will magically be fixed!

Last person in Greece please turn out the lights before you leave, rotflmao!!

You get what you vote for. I guess socialism really doesn't work after all.

Looks like some of the European countries (if not all of them) are going back to that Aristocratic.MONOARCHY/CAESAR rule or should be KNOWN more so as the RULE from the ROMAN EMPIRE...and lots of EVIL events took place in their Kingdom yet they all call themselves TRUE CHRISTIANS....

We need to cut these deadbeat government salaries by at least 50%.

Greece should shorten their last names to save money. Printing ALL those letters must cost extra millions in ink alone, let alone the data entry time it takes to enter them!
