Tell us where it’s all gone
Greek taxpayers should be made fully aware of the true extent of the country's dire financial situation. This would at least make them more willing to accept the special, one-off measures adopted by the government to bring in some badly needed revenue.
However, words alone are not sufficient to illustrate the depth and breadth of the economic crisis and so taxpayers need to be given a full and clear picture of the size of the public deficit together with a list of all the sectors of the state machine which have been responsible for squandering public funds.
