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".

    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.
