I guess I don’t have a problem with the government enforcing the law by rounding up people who have broken the law by not paying their taxes.

There was a story posted here on FR a couple weeks back that stated some ridiculous percentage of Greek government officials that own several homes/properties worth millions of dollars/euros on small salaries.

Wonder how that happened?

Spain curbs ‘millionaire’ pay for air traffic controllers (incredible salaries)
Breitbart.com

According to figures released by the transport ministry last week, 135 controllers earned more than 600,000 euros (830,000 US dollars) per year while 713 earned between 360,000 and 540,000 euros.

By comparison Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero earns just under 92,000 euros a year while the average salary in Spain is just over 18,000 euros per year, according to government figures.
In addition, the controllers can retire at the age of 52.

Incredible. The Fall of the West. If they make nearly a MILLION DOLLARS a year while they are working, then retire at 52, don’t they get $30,000,000 in retirement pay, if they live long enough??? Total of $50,000,000 each??? What country could ever support this? Oh yeah: Spain, US, UAW, Obama, SEIU, they all want to try!!!

I wonder what would happen if the Greek government decided to pay out benefits just as before, but multiplied by a tax compliance factor. So if they collected half the taxes they were “supposed” to, everybody’s benefit check were cut in half.

I suppose that wouldn’t change anything if there were little overlap between the tax payers and the benefit recipients.

I’m guessing that uber-rich Greeks will be buying second homes in Monaco, Switzerland and Bermuda in the near future.

It won’t be long before government thugs are showing up at people’s doors to simply confiscate whatever they decide the people don’t “need”. The elite government class and its “connected” allies will do whatever they have to in order to get paid. I still like G. Gordon Liddy’s answer: head shots.
