No property taxes in Greece, how can you raise revenue and pay for your belief of not working? This is caused by "no taxes" sound familliar. "no taxes" is supposed to psur economic growth right? Wrong it takes away the incentive to over achieve.

Hello, property taxes is a state issue not a federal. The income tax in Greece is from 15 to 40 % so I don't know how you come up saying they pay no taxes. What you said in bold. No its not no taxes that take away the incentive to work. Its the social programes that they receive that allows them to be lazy and sit on their ass. If they did not have those social programs the people would have to work to provide for their families. Also all those riots over there is union works ticked at the cut backs in goverment programs.
I thought I'd check what you said about property taxes and over 25% of the people in Greece do pay property taxes.
