The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

    If you think that having 6000 tax evaders in a country of a couple of million people is a problem, then you must have forgotten to take your meds.

    It doesn't matter how many tax evaders there are. What matters is how much money they hide.

    I matters a lot when they are the top 6,000 earners in the country. The rich in Greece treat their taxes the same way as the government treats its debts: pay 'em? you can't make us.

        First of all, if you've ever done business with Greeks, you know that there are vast differences regarding the view on tax compliance. Secondly, if your economy is otherwise healthy and you can absorb losses due to tax evasion, then it isn't an immediate problem. But if you go to other countries, some poorer than yourself, and ask for handouts, then your failure to actually tax your own people will not be ignored.
