AN OLDER ARTICLE TRANSLATED FROM
OKEANEWS, 06/06/12
Greeks don’t pay their taxes. Those
scroungers want nothing more than to annoy Europe by wanting to stay in the
Eurozone without paying the price….
Those Greeks live
a life of Riley as they pocket European aid, refuse to pay their fair share, don’t
pay their taxes and set fire to their capital city, whilst being the first to complain
about their standard of living….
Shoe box:
With the
aim of “fighting fraud”, the Greek state, under the expert guidance of the Troïka,
has had the brilliant idea of asking the citizens to prove their expenses by
supplying proof of their purchases (receipts). Each citizen must therefore
prove expenses amounting to 25% of their revenues in order to avoid paying a
10% fine on the 25%. Yes, it’s rather complicated. But more importantly, these proofs of
purchase will be sent to the tax office with the tax return. For a service
already bled dry by budget cuts, this means that the officials are therefore
going to have to pass their time checking the receipts. Very intelligent!
I still
remember a friend showing me a shoe box, full of receipts and saying to me “do
you realize what we have come to? This is totally ridiculous - it’s driving me
crazy”
