Pensions are paid by two sources: employer contributions and government subsidies to the pension funds (i.e. the taxpayer). So in effect the government is sabotaging the future for a dubious and minor benefit today (and avoiding the political cost of cutting pensions along the way).<br /><br />Alas, by increasing employer contributions the Greek government is paving the way for more unemployment, further loss of competitiveness (since they increase labor costs), further decrease of tax receipts, and of course further pension cuts.<br /><br />Greece just doesn't get it. It has to increase employment and production, and to do so it must compete against other countries. But it just doesn't get it.<br /><br />Like I said, Greece isn't in a rush to change.Jim Sliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325962115410722474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-20373796680661491102015-12-08T18:59:00.189+01:002015-12-08T18:59:00.189+01:00Also...

I have very few in mind. Still unsure if it is possible. Although Alexis is serving a purpose. If samaras were to impliment the new changes requested we would have a cival war because he is from the right. As Alexis is left it is fine. What a hypocracy.<br /><br />As for your questions on Greece in paragraph two, i will give you an answer. <br /><br />With such a bloated governement, you have a great deal of people working for or living off the tit of the bloated government. I know many. If you dare make a statement, that the public is inefficient, you are scorned at to say the least. They are quite powerful indeed and as citizen of the private sector, the government workers have you by the balls. In local government it is even worse because you are on a "i know you basis." Hence people of non-government personel are scared that if they are black listed they will be blocked by much needed government services. Certificates paper work etc. even the bad services. Imagine if you are someone's bad side.<br /><br />Ofcourse there are two sides of the coin. My father had to make an adjustmnt on the property registry that the old house he lives in, has a larger basement than originally stated. As a good citizen he proceeded and provided the documentation and also took a small extra hit in ENFIA property taxes, but he prefers to be law abiding. As do I to the best of my knowledge because at the rate of law changes in this country it is hard to keep up. The local registry who knows my father and the house said that you have wrongly stated that the basement is without electricity (this would increase the property tax charge). (The house basement does, have one 3 lights pulled from the main house.) My father was furious. The governement worker threatened my father that they would send an inspector (which is unheard of in greece) to come inspect the footaged, and the electricity and would be penalized if out of code.<br /><br />He called down and told nice and clearly.<br /><br />He told her, "Before you come to my house, tell the inspector to start at your house, your fatherin laws and your sisters, who have double basements undeclared, and are actually not basements but furnished homes with electricity. Then check the other 2,000 homes on the island and then come to me.<br /><br />The worker shut up and certified whatever my dad wanted.<br /><br />The above is why it is so important for privitzations to be made. the more government employees released whether directly or indirectly, the less pwoerful they become. the better the remaining governement employees can be managed and organized. Then the real economy will grow.<br /><br />BTW, if every house and property registry was made, the 2,6 billion euro from enfia property taxes would be 10 billion euro in income. I am sure you know how many undeclared footages homes are in your summer home area. In my village alone there are about 70 livable homes. I doubt they declare half of the square meters on their enfia.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />V<br /><br />He told the government worker Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
