It's not based on what I'm saying, Vlad, not even on here. There is near universal distrust of anecdotal evidence for many (good) reasons.
The court example you give doesn't work because courts don't try to extrapolate one incident to prove a theory. The correct analogy would be you saying that defendant Greek A must have not paid taxes because your friend Greek B didn't pay her taxes.
Because Italy is failing and the EU has all but bailed it out by bending the rules to accommodate it, they may as well have given the money themselves.
Was it you that was accused of deliberately not wanting to understand, can't believe why?
I'm bored off this, we're driving up to the Arctic Circle tonight (really, 1500KM), enjoy the match tomorrow.
The only way you could KNOW that would be if you'd audited their tax returns. Even if you had, what [an unspecified number of Greeks] did does not mean that's what all Greeks do, or even what the majority of Greeks do.
There is evidence that tax avoidance is a big problem in Greece, but what your ex did is not it.
