""Well actually the problem with Greece is that you still have an establishment that enriches itself while below it are the average people who have to improvise in order to survive. Businesses are shaken down by corrupt tax officials in a system more suited to a feudal society or an occupation. EU money disappears before it reaches the projects it is meant for. In some million euro projects money is skimmed off by everyone who touches it and in the end maybe there is enough left to hire three Albanians and a donkey. You don't have to be a communist to say that in Greece the people with power and money do whatever they want or that the government collects a lot of money that goes right into their pockets. In the words of a Greek businessman "I would not mind paying taxes if I received something in return. But the government takes our money and then it disappears. The government that steals from its people forces the people to become like criminals to protect themselves ." The people are at war with the government, fighting over their money."" Greece
