| Wyrdness said: Connections can get you further easier and faster then education can, you brought up if someone is educated to the level required you'll get paid what you're worth but in the majority of cases that's not the case, even for those who do managerial courses and such. College graduates ending up in retail as opposed to high school graduate ending up in KFC isn't saying much, for instance I know people who went to university only to end up stacking shelves while someone who left at high school is a manager at an engineering company that his dad is a higher up of. |
@Bold Their paychecks seem to indicate otherwise, maybe pick a better college major next time ? 40% of the fortune 500 CEOs have MBAs so managerial courses do have some value to them ...
I'm not saying connections don't matter but you overestimate it's factor when it comes to the hiring process ...
Connections are also earned, not given to you so you still need to work for it somehow ...
| Wyrdness said: It's the Government's fault for simply never taking the situation seriously, the avoidance of paying into the system was initially a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire and continued when they broke free. That's over century maybe even far longer, over that period of time if such large sums of income is being syphoned off and money is being borrowed to make up the deficit the will come a time when it hits an unmoveable object. This is why western countries give tax organizations such high power. |
The Greek government may have been woeful when it came to tracking down it's black market but when a third of it's citizens are participating in that said market how are they supposed to combat it when the number of outlaws far outweigh them ?
Greece is an epitome of an example where taxation against the rich does nothing when vast sums of it's population are not participating in the system ...
