Greeks have the same problem of southern italians, a lot of unnecessary statalized workers... private workers and enterprises don't have the power to sustain such heavy weight of statals, that are unpruductive.. the don't create money or value.....
people must understand this... statal work doesn't create economic value...
and those statal workers are the bread of socialized, leftist parties, because those workers are votes for them, because they protect them and they assume them.
people need to vote political parties that are in favour of liberalization ,capitalism and private work.
the statals and the burocracy are a heavy and dangerous weight
i think one of the main thing to change is the mentality... the mentality to work under the state.. and by doing this you need to start first with a revolution... throw out all the political class you had, that brought greece in this condition, and vote a new political class that doesn't assume unecessary statal workers.
i don't belive in the saves the old political class is doing, this class is your enemy, you can't accept it to cut all the wages now... those politician must be punished... they can't do now what they have must done 20-30 years ago, instead of assuming al those people.
you are correct to that point,
but let see the other point
lets take George pappandreou, son of andreas.
from 1981 minister everywhere from agriculture to economy,
he sign many loans,
now the one who co-doom Greece is playing it savor of Greece,
lets take semitis,
in thessaloniki he said the famous the Greek citizens are richer due to stock,
and push Greeks to play and 1 month Greeks lost 40% of their savings passing to whoever (banks included)
lets take karamanlis
he got prime ministry by promisisng no corruption,
yet his yard were full in scandals, and send no one to prison,
the one above like mantelis and tsoykatos were the one who said clear clear yes we took money but nobody can send them to judge due to a law that all crimes of a parliament member erase after 5 years, voted by parliament members,
fror more than 20-25 years Greek people search for justice, and wait peacefully so someone leader to do it,
the result is that even at 2011 Venizelos saves a Banker that took 750-860 000 000 Euros, just because he return 51 000 000
and sinfer Voskopoulos pays 2.500000 E instead of 5 000 000 because his wife is goverment member and minister,
In greece if steal a salami they send you 3 months to prison,
if you steal a million, they got their hats off,
that is what people got tired,
yesterday Heroes of WW2 were standing in many places, while many clerics and parliament-members were sitting,
the statal work you say you are correct,
but goverment instead of firing people,
HIRED >25 000 workers as advisors with salary bigger than a astatal worker,
the case of Greece is tragedy and irony and comic together,
they cut retirements of people with 400 /month
while they still give >3000 to some
they put taxes to 5000 E/year while they leave 100 000 E /year with only 40%
for 3 years they can achive an agreement with Swiss banks where 650 biillion Greek money exist
there are tax models,
the state and the cleric
if I give my son a sum like 5000 E i will pay tax
above 10 000 raise to 20% tax
but if i give it to church and church give it to my son,
then I pay only 10% tax
so I give 1 000 000 to church
church gives as a gift to son 900 000 E
different ratio tax
I give 1 million to my son
tax is 200 000 so my son takes 800 000
etc etc
lets take the president of democracy,
yesterday he told he was a rebel at 1940-1945 against axis,
yes but he is the same that from 1981-1990 and 1994-2001 was minister of foreign and sign all the loans etc
there is nothing worse when then hunter, say the victim come on I will save you,
while he already bite it,
this is what the goverment partyy said in 6 june about the hair-cut
http://www.pasok.gr/portal/resource/contentObject/id/9a6fb6eb-8b3d-43c3-9f46-ffc00ee8181e
an non-responsible preposition,
yet these days they all shout as cheerleaders that hair-cut is a good thing and is saving greece,
Greeks may be are whatever but are not Stupid,
memorandum 2 was voted to avoid hair-cut,
new article 37 was not asked by Troica
Troica ask above the limit of poverty to put taxes (6500 E)
yet the lion whos is cheering that saving greece put the teeth in poor's body and leave the cases of political thieves and foreign lackeys and tax avoid outside,
is taking money from low income people and saves Laurentiadhs (bank owner)
1400 people lost their jobs due to save the Layrentiadhs
case of Alapis pharma.s
Greek people are mad also by solar power,
due to my work i know,
they brought German investors to take 500 000 000 m2 of sunny areas to put solar,
while if i ask to put a solar it will take more than 1-2 uears,
program 'Helios'
solar panels create no job places (limited)
but why they do not leave the greeks to put them and sell the energy to Germany
but bring Germans to put them and take it free?
same with OTE etc
the case reminds an old traitor, who dismissed the Epirus army so not to fight at ww2
