Piecemeal taxation measures
The fact that tax measures are announced, changed and then announced anew, tells us just one thing: that tax reform in Greece is not the product of extensive research and study into the country's fiscal reality, but a knee-jerk reaction to difficult fiscal circumstances.
The constant revisions show that the measures were not considered from all the different angles that should be taken into account when formulating tax policy (viability, effectiveness, social justice, development goals, etc.), but were haphazardly drawn up and prematurely announced.

A modern death cult
For a people so much in love with life, it is astonishing to see how keenly the Greeks court death - and nowhere is this more evident than in the way they drive. Even though billions have been spent on road and other infrastructure projects since Greece joined the European Union in 1981, such is the quality of our roads and so great our recklessness that our country is still the EU's leader in road deaths. Our roads are the stage on which we strut and display every personal and collective weakness to the deadliest effect. |
