Tax evasion in Greece is a lot higher than in e.g. Sweden. Obviously, tax evasion is determined mostly by how easily one can dodge taxes, not how high taxes are. If no one checks whether or not you pay a 1% tax, no one will pay it.
It's very revealing how you are now promoting fraud.
No fraud.

...are welcome to pay for them. When they start collapsing we'll talk about it. NZ has a minister of rugby world cup for fricks sake.

Higher taxes lead to higher tax evasion. While the tax rate in Greece is bad enough they like to make out social security contributions are something besides tax - they're not.
The black market is something to be cultivated and grown, I use cash only and make a point of telling tradesmen and the like a receipt is not necessary.
If you are caught disobeying the legitimate economic regulations of your society, you should be punished according to its laws.
Originally posted by WajomaI think I finally get your loathing of 'guvmint interference'. The All Blacks, who are probably the most winningest side in world rugby, have as yet only won one(the inauggural) World Cup. It all becomes crystal clear now......

Service more than paid for, cheers.
Originally posted by WajomaThe "value" of the money you hold is dependent on what other members of society think it is worth. You are "robbed" of nothing when their representatives decide to increase the supply of money for whatever reason they deem fit.
