Η παραφροσύνη της λιτότητας // The insanity of austerity

                                                 THE 700 EURO GENERATION

Let us suppose that a young man who has  graduated from a university works freelance, (with a receipt book), and makes 1000 Euros.
Let us see what he will pay in taxes, based on the new tax law.

VAT:23%, or 230 Euros.
Income tax: 35%, or 269.5 euros.
Advance tax(withholding) :55% in addition or +148 Euros.
Social security dues: 240 Euros/month.

So, if we add all of the above, the total is 887.5 Euros.
Therefore, 88% of his monthly income will go to the state.   

   

Αριστοτέλης περί τυραννίας // Aristotle on tyranny

 The pursuit of tyranny is to impoverish the citizens on one hand, in order to support the guardians of the establishment and, on the other hand, in order to keep the people busy so that they will not have time for plots. It is to this result that they aim by high taxation or the absorption of the citizens' property as well as the construction of extensive, huge works that exhaust the public economics.
