Cut to the Bone: The Samaras Measures | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece
These measures in particular caught my eye.
"Entrance tickets to casinos will drop in price from 15 euros ($19.30) to just 6 euros ($7.72), with 4.80 euros ($6.18) of that going straight into the public coffers, while the state’s participation in the gross profits of casino games will rise by two percentage points."
Marie Antoinette's comment "Let them eat cake" came to mind.
"An extraordinary tax of between 25 and 35 percent on solar energy production plants, depending on the time the project was hooked up to the national electricity grid. It will be calculated on the turnover from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2014, although this may be extended by another year"
Will this discourage investment in solar energy, a natural resource that greece should capitalise on??
