Oh wake up! Authoritarian and Conservative governments suffer under corruption, lax tax collections and bribery too! Don't white wash this! Sins flow through all forms of government.The Greeks collect about 1/3 of the taxes due. Their economy is rife with corruption. Bribes are considered part of doing business.
Blaming all their woes on Socialism is far too simplistic, even for American Conservatives.
that is what socialism creates.......tax avoidance because of confiscatory tax rates, corruption in order to get around the government workers who make you life miserable but you can do nothing about because they are protected by their unions....and bribes....talk to any politician....it explodes in a socialist country because those in control have more power over your life....
limiting government is the only way to keep a society free and prosperous......but the left will never care to learn that lesson.....
Blaming all of Greece's woes on Socialism is naïve, irresponsible and simplistic.
