look at greek bureaucracy when it comes to creating jobs - once again, no matter which government was in place in the past.
... actually - i can't and i won't write down all the absurdities of that country while being called Nazi while my country covered that shit all these years
I just feel for my greek friends and their families - while about 2000 greek people own 80% of the total wealth of that country and most of them are not even obliged to pay taxes according to their constitution
