There is no need to seek cure where there is no cure, like, liberalization of the markets.
The problem is very old, even the first war between Athena and Sparta was caused by taxes, and Greek don't believe in the state, having who take less responsibility will just reinforce the bad perception the greek have of their own state.
Because Greek don't believe in the state, they don't pay their taxes.
I found this in the business insider :
http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is- ... lem-2015-2 Look at this, apparently, the average pay for several profession is lower then their debt paiement ? how can you pay 1700 Euro in debt ? if you gain 1500 Euro ? The answer is that you hide money, that is the problem, solve fiscal evasions, no more debt, no more austerity, Pushing right-wing free market agenda is not going to solve the problem.
We need to have the Greek believe in their state, not hate it. So the solutions are few and on long-term.
- Information campaign on why we should pay our taxes.
- We need some public program, anything that the state can make and succeed to prove itself.
- We need more public services. We taxes to have publics services, so we need state-entreprises
- We also need better law enforcement, so that people don't conclude to state unable to uphold the law.
- Some way to crack on tax evasion by encouraging people to report all their incomes or punishing the culprits
- Crack down on corruption and scandals... but that is evident.
Sure, we can always do better in the public function, but we should not adapt more with less.
I don't believe in a solution. I don't see one.
Austerity is a major failure, the only thing it create is more taxes evasions.
- We have a problem of taxes evasions because Greek don't believe in the state, suddenly you heard, your taxes are going up and your service are going down or are privatized, does that make you believe more in the state now ? well, no, you have new reason to not pay your taxes. so, the problem remains.
- Greek would need a long-term solution, but the creditors won't accept.
Sorry, but for Greece, I don't see a solution. Except, annulment / partition of the debt. Even the FMI
Greek should vote Nay, send a strong message, they have nothing to lose, they already lost everything.
Side-content. : happy we totally forgotten that Greece was tricked by Goldman sacs, The company helped them to hide-their debt, meanwhile, they where buying credit defaults obligation on Greece debt. you can see those as insurgence on greece debt, they knew Greece would not default, but if the rum ours where strong and look very credible, the price of the assurance would go up, and they made a great profit, plus they were paid for their services by the former governments.
How they hide the debt, instead of emitting euro, directly, they ask for yen, and change them in euro. the operation does not count, it is considered as (an exchange of money), but really is nothing more then Greece Borrowing Euro.
