Greek bailout explained
It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt,
and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a 100 note on the desk,
telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked
upstairs, the hotelier grabs the 100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the 100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the 100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the tavern.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.
The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the 100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the 100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the 100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything.
No one earned anything.
However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package worksWorking on inserting a bit more eccentricity into the bearings of life

Greeks & GST/VAT
See previous one.. as well
Why Greeks dont pay the VAT/GST
Say the GST is 10%, and you deduct it from every transaction and send it to the Government
Imagine this scenario
It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a 100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the 100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes 10 and sends it to the government
The butcher takes the 90 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The Pig farmer takes 9 and sends it to the government
The pig farmer takes the 81 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The Farmers Co-op takes 8.10 and sends it to the government
The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the 72.90 and runs to pay his drinks bill at the tavern.
The publican takes 6.63 and sends it to the government. The publican takes the 66.27 to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.
The Hooker takes 6.02 and sends it to the government The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pay 60.25 some off her room bill to the hotel owner The hotel proprietor takes 5.48 and sends it to the government and then places the 54.77 on the counter along with an IOU
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, wants his money back but is faced with the above outcome
No one produced anything.
No one earned anything.
46% of the money is gone and the German is out of pocket
Every one till owes money.
This is why the Greeks dont like GSTWorking on inserting a bit more eccentricity into the bearings of life
