What do you expect when the 'Leader' has made an art of being on long term sick. He has been swinging the lead for years and I doubt he is going to be too worried about anyone else following is his (limping) footsteps!

Does it include time off for bereavement / TV appearances ?

Interesting MK1, the Greeks went the same way, retirement at 50, paying tax was optional, many didn`t turn up for work, why because they still got paid, it was so good they even were able to work somewhere else and get paid again.
Yes youv`e guessed it most worked for the Public sector, nice work if you can get it.
Isnt Socialism great, as someone once said there is nothing wrong with Socialism it just eventually runs out of other peoples Money.

Usual ill-informed 'anti commie cold war rubbish.

The biggest single  loss to the Greek Exchequer was tax evasion by the middle and upper classes.

KISS:
The chart below shows the self-declared  income or various Greek  groups and the % of debts they claim to be  paying. Note that 5 groups are paying out more than they earn (i.e they are massively under-reporting their income) and none of them are 'paying' out  less than 55% of what they earn.





This is they type of tax system right whingers want introduced  here so the rich can keep all their money and when it all goes ti&ts-up the poor will suffer massive pain whilst they just drop down from super-rich to being comfortably off.
