I disagree. Ineffective tax collection actually might be helping the greek economy. The government is so inefficient that I cannot imagine how paying more taxes would actually help in the long run. People can be more efficient and produce much more real value by spending their money.

The real big problem is the inflated public sector. This of course is a problem because is a big burden to the public finances but more importantly results in >20% of the population that is capable of working being occupied at the public sector producing minimal value for the economy overal.
