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 ... 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 ... |
Getting a few quid more then someone on minimum wage isn't anything to write home about and many of them would go to better colleges if the had access to them, only 40%? That's less than I expected.
Greece has so many people participating in that dodgy area because the government let it, the politicians and the rich are the worst offenders. In the USA do you honestly think the government would allow it to even get half as bad as that? There would be action long before that road is even in sight in fact the whole offshore issue being tackled now is part of it, vast amounts of Americans aren't dodging tax like in Greece so taxing the rich is a legitimate means to balance the budget whether some like it or not.
