Greece needs to put as much effort and money as needed to put to an end to tax fraud, mainly from big fortunes as well as a stronger progressive tax law centered on direct taxes, not indirect like VAT as the IMF insists on doing.

The problem most Greeks suddenly face is that their money is now locked up as electronic balances in banks that have shut down for a week and won't let them have more than 60 euros at a time.
That sounds reasonable compared to what happened when the US was on the gold standard......the government confiscated the gold. No 60 coins for you, it all went to the government.
but I'd like to keep Chrome around for all the other, usual reasons.

rotfl that was my experience, too......going up the on-ramp, accelerator floored, and not going any faster.......
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
