Yeah . . .

Holy crap, I thought this was just some sort of crazy hyperbole, but yup, I couldn't believe it when I looked it up.... you get paid to diddle kids, steal and burn down peoples homes in Greece. No wonder the country is such a mess.
On a side note. When I was young, I delivered Pizza for 3 different pizza joints over a few years, and back then, I think every single Greek family in Calgary owned one. The one consistency of all 3, was they were the most self entitled tax cheats I ever saw, there's a reason they give you a discount for cash...lol. The owner of one called me a 'Stupid Malaka' for finding out I was declaring my delivery, not my tips, just the base income on my taxes, and basically fired me since I never got hardly any shifts afterward, because he was worried they could backtrack and figure out how much he was actually selling, based on what I was declaring. He thought I paid enough at my full time job, and I should just pocket all of it. Seriously, I got in crap from an employer, for legally declaring my income.
And every single one of them would get in weekly yelling matches over unpaid bills with suppliers too. One of them was buying his food at Safeway, and Wholesale club, because he stiffed every single vendor in town, and nobody would deal with him anymore. There certainly is a freebie culture with them.
