It's Official - Greece Unveils The Negative Salary, And A Whole New Meaning For "Pay To Play"
We thought we had seen it all. It turns out we hadn't. The country that gave the world the alphabet, philosophy, and plates with funny sexually ambiguous drawings on them, has outdone itself again. Because beginning this month some Greeks will have to pay for the privilege of having a job. From the Press Project:
Salary cutbacks (called "unified payroll") for contract workers at the public sector set to be finalized today. Cuts to be valid retroactively since november 2011. Expected result: Up to 64.000 people will work without salary this month, or even be asked to return money. Amongst them 21.000 teachers, 13.000 municipal employees and 30.000 civil servants.
Needless to say the BLS is salivating at the prospect of US workers paying for a job, as this will immediately allow them to double count said person's role in the employed part of the labor force (which incidentally has shrunk by 1% in the time it took to write this), as the money said "worker" pays can be used in the BLS hedonic models to theoretically hire many more people courtesy of fractional reserve lending. Now if only everyone would agree to pay for the joy of playing Solitaire 9 to 5, then all the world's problems would be solved.

History shall repeat itself in a far greater scale and therefore the benefit for the leading roles shall be much greater. If ancient Greeks won the battle against the barbarity of the East in favour of Europe, then modern Greeks are those who are meant to win the battle against the barbarity of both Eastern and Western world in favour of the human kind. The world has become a little “village” and in this “village” everyone knows what the character of the others is.
fractional working and job rehypothecation! how about workplace futures market? they'd print jobs!
How else do you destroy an ancient culture that is not compatible with your vision for a New World Order? You inflict as much pain as you must in order to soften the people up to social re-engineering.
Siestas? Gone.
August national vacation? Gone.
Greece is entangled in this NWO construct called the European Union with seemingly no escape. Their people will suffer as much as they have to in order to accept a complete re-engineering of their society to be compatible with the U.N./NWO vision for what modern life should be world wide.
One step at a time boys. Next up, the other "lazy" countries - Portugal, Italy, Spain.
yep, those lazy spaniards just happened to lazily conquer half the planet.
¿verdad?
Wasn't that before the Ottoman Turk's conquered Spain and impregnated all the Spanish women thus altering their gene pool forever?
No matter. Current Spanish culture is not compatible with the Anglo/Germanic work ethic. Anglo/Germanics work like slaves, especially Americans. You can go buy almost anything at any time of the day or night in America because the stores are open and staffed by low wage people so desperate for a few dollars an hour that they're willing to work any day at any hour. And "siestas?" Only for college professors and politicians.
Not so in Europe.
so, ¿you're saying méxico should uninvade spain to show them how to work extra hard?
i bet there's about 17,353,498 americans taking siestas today because they ain't got no job to get to. the stomach has always been the ultimate factor in fraud market (free market in a capitalist system is an oxymoron: in any given population, the desire for profit will untimately convince someone to skew the free market to their advantage, thus corrupting it's freedom. freedom means nothing until you remove the dumb.) wage determinations. in our age of globulzation (or ¿should i say gobbleuhzation?), there's much easier access of people willing to work extremely hard in order not to die.
the exploitation of these people are what pay the wages of the walmartarians. ¡ASSOCIATES OF THE WORLD ARISE!*

Nigel Farage appears to be the Ron Paul of the UK (the Unemployed Kingdom).
unpaid internernships for college grads is all the rage in the U.S. these days. who needs to pay workers when the desperate will work for free.
Wonder if some 'enterprising' people will take to the time-honored tradition of fleecing their exploiters back.
Where did all the laptops and Aeron chairs go?
after looking at my property tax bill, this should also happen to every teacher in NJ
Are they hiring?
And Greece unveils the "negative deposit" (also "negative international flow").
Off your knees my greek brethern.
Off your knees....
Time to dish out some civilian justice.
What the Nazis said..."we will be back, you will not get trains run in TIME (in Greece and various other countries...)".
WE ARE BACK!
Work for free? Not a new concept for those of us that pay taxes.
I just ran the numbers on my 2011 taxes and between federal and state income taxes, social security, medicare, property tax, sales tax, etc. I worked about 4 months of 2011 just to pay taxes. Do you have any idea how horrible that feels? Because that means the first 4 months of this year I am doing the same. 40 hours a week, for 16 weeks, working for free.
And no, even by Obama's definition I am not "wealthy."
well,
do you drive on roads, expect police/fire services, have kids in school, flush the toilet?
obviously the moneys extracted from our pay are not used efficiently (i'm talking to you, stevie) , but if all these things were privately run, you would pay triple the price for 1/7 the quality.
I live in a US state that taxes the artificial person and not the natural person. Unfortunately people at the Federal Govt level have absolutely no idea about this concept and the ignorant masses don't understand an entire civil war was fought over the Fed Govt intrusion.
I believe that its our basic right to avoid government taxation when conducting our lives as we are natural people and free to ignore the laws of man. If you choose to live your life unaware that you can also live free of government intrusion, then yes -- you deserve to pay a quarter of your income toward taxes.
More like 1/3. But all your crazy shit ain't gonna fly in court. Ask Irwin Schiff about that. Or those tax dodging folks in Maine that had their "bunker" raided last year.
very true and the system will take great delight in punishing all who try this, to set a good example for the sheeple... fighting the man ain't easy.
The 16th Amendment was never ratified. Income tax is illegal as is the rest of this entire Ponzi scheme that was forced on the American Public in 1913.
The Tree of Liberty is thirsty.
FRIKKIN' A!, EH!
but are you nice? i'm nice.
i've also designed a car that runs on burning tires.
but i'm free!
you know what,
we need a checklist on our tax forms:
WE THE PEOPLE.
I commented on this earlier under another article.
If you vote and pay taxes, regardless of who you vote for, you support your government and consent to any action it takes.
War? You voted right? Don't tell me you didn't vote for war, it's enough that you voted. Now you are being governed by consent. Any action taken is taken in your name with your consent.
You want to withdraw your consent? Stop paying taxes and sit in prison in protest like Thoreau. Or leave the country and renounce your citizenship. Anything else is irrelevant grumbling.
So I'm working to pay for the roads that allow me to drive to work to pay for roads? A bit circular I think.
But you figured it out in your own retarded way, my crazy high taxes are paying for other people's children, many of whom are the anchor babies of illegal Hispanic aliens.
remember when highways were paid from tax revenues? well now that the U.S. and state governments are going broke, there is a plan in the works to sell the interstate system off in chunks to private companies so that they can be operated as toll roads. but we are told this is good for locals.... bend over sheeple.
blog discussing plan to sell off the interstate system. this needs a lot more exposure:
http://ppjg.me/2012/02/17/congress-set-to-hand-our-highways-and-freeways...
I'm working to pay for the roads that allow me to drive to work to pay for roads.
I'm working to pay for the computers that allow me to shuffle moneys to pay for computers.
I'm working to pay for the food that allows me to exist to work to pay for food.
I'm working to pay for the health insurance that allows me to have my premiums go up 9% annually (exponents of the world arise!), oops, bad example..
welcome to entropy, human.
some things are better left in the hands of nonprofit institutions. we the people.
your crazy taxes may be funding a wee bit of the "illegal HISPANIC (EMPHASIS YOURS) aliens*" meager existance, but that's probably karmic for certain annexations (but, heh, the aztecs were an empire).
no, your crazy taxes are going to fund boondoggle and corruption from 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago.
*GO FORTH AND HYBRIDIZE!
Again, what the FUCK do the Aztecs have to do with me? Or anything that happend more than 40 years ago? Am I supposed to carry some sort of eternal guilt based on what some people vaguely genetically related to me did hundreds of years ago?
This whole meme of eternal racial heritage is sick and needs to be extinguished from the collective unconscious.
We are born free, as individuals. And yet everywhere we are enslaved, as citizens (or members of groups).
ooh, ooh, ooh the thrashing of the arrow thing
i knew this would be minus land but heh,
¿do you want lloyd blankfiend selling you water?
educating your children?!?
the tax system wherever you live is stupid and unjust because it was designed by humans.
but, EVEN ADAM SMITH SAID TAXES SHOULD PAY FOR THE POST OFFICE.
(yeah, all caps.)
you want fair taxation? use your tax money to fund elections.
we the people, an' all that...
Try being self-employed in Ireland and paying a 55% tax rate then going to your post office on a Thursday and watching all the vagrants, gypsies, lazy bums and various guys from Africa stand in line to pick up their weekly welfare payments.... oh yeah, and because I'm self-employed, I'm not entitled to any welfare payment if I'm ever on my downers. Not a penny. I don't work for free - I work for those guys in the post office queue.
I wouldn't do it. I'd sooner chop off my own foot and go on the dole.
Or move to some out of the way South American country and engage in wholesale criminality. 55%? Yea, fuck the system.
My deadbeat cousin has been one of those in that queue for 20 years. He moved there from England 'cos the pickings were better. He's in Co. Cork at the moment. Does he still have to queue? I thought the dosh came by bank transfer nowadays.
PR Guy, IS IT REALLY TRUE? OR JUST A GOOD HUMOR? :)
APPLIED TO ANY SELF-EMPLOYED???
If it's so true, what an amazing system to screw.....

BREAKING STORY: Iran Invades Greece -- Ahmadinejad, "We didn't think anybody would notice."
ECB To Hold Thank You Ceremony Later Today.
A smart way to collect taxes in a country where people refuse to pay them.
Reminds me of homer whipping the sled dogs even when they rest. Well until they maul him.
John R Cash sang a tune, in it he he asks "How high is the water momma?"
"It's five feet high and rising"
Change the word water to gasoline in this song and now you have an idea how the players are manipulating the cause to invade Iran, and put the squeeze on Greece and everyone else is nothing but an elaborate rug for them to walk on.
Aye maties, it be time for a little play soon. Are we up to it as I do not see the forces of peace being able to stop what is occuring?

"I'm not contributing to this useless country full of traitors illegals non citizens..."
You ain't the only one. This isn't the country I was born in, and I refuse to be a slave to the 50 million illegal aliens and their anchor babies. If I'm going to be giving 1/3 of my productive hours to the government by way of taxes, it's going to be a government that isn't the most likely world wide to murder or imprison me. And if my lifeblood is going to be used by a government to support "social welfare", it's not going to be the government of a country full of criminal illegals and other trash.
Did anybody check the sources for this story before putting it on the frontpage?
all I can find is a self referential tweet
Reminds me of that line from Time Bandits, "Oh, and you'll be getting a 10% pay cut, back-dated to the beginning of time."
What a great way around the labor numbers to create the illusion of increasing tax revenues.
To borrow more money.
Brilliant.
it goes on....
In the middle of the night Obama's work minions tear up long ass stretches of perfectly

This is merely debt collection on a generation of greedy lazy animals living beyond their means. My only fear is that it becomes disorganised. The world community should act quickly and raise a UN multinational force to make sure forced labor and property repossession goes smoothly. Build camps.
In the end the filthy sheeple can't escape who they are - a slave class. It has always been that way. A generation of denial and children playing pretend democracy and free lunch borrowing to "appear wealthy" doesn't change that. It must be paid for. And it will be. Soon the US cows will be milked too.
I disagree. What we really have is a generation of leaders in Greece and the USA who sought to buy votes by using borrowed public funds so as to then cover up their own siphoning of the public purse.
What we also had was the enlightened bankers buying lowered standards of regulation and punishment by bribing governments with political donations and jobs.
So before you have a go at the sheeple, spare a thought for the role of the butchers disguised as shepherds of the people.
The enlightened bankers are not bribing the govt. They are the real govt. For the later part of the 20th century they experimented with the idea giving some democratic influence to the moron orc horde in Greece. The experiment failed, as the masses were incapable of controlling their animalistic greed; incapable of rational thought and personal responsibility. So back to serfdom as usual for them.
Enlightened bankers?
Wow, you are really sick.
U would have made a very good Nazi.
The Nazis were fools. If they used the tactics of Ed Bernays instead of brute force they would be the EU right now. Nationalism is a lousy way to control the herd. Consumerism works so much better. Although how can you not respect the artwork of one of the greatest sheeple herders Joseph Goebbels. He truly understood that the populace was nothing more than primitive animals that could be steered with simple emotional prodding. If they stopped in France, employed Bernays as a Nazi "brand consultant" Europe would be a much different place than it is today.
Another fascist federal entity sells its people down the river and then points an accusing finger at its own powerless residents.
100% of idiots approve.
I think in some of the construction unions, you need to buck-up a few months dues in advance to join in the US.
im sure this will not piss anybody off, its all good
Michael Lewis in his book Boomerang says, “the wage bill of the Greek public sector has doubled, in real terms” with the average government job now paying almost three times the average private sector job. Everyone is getting haircuts.
or even be asked to return money
I guess none of them will be Politicians ?
Eurodaddy gave Greekbrats a credit card and they ran it up to the limit and now won't pay ? That's exactly what I did to revenge the corrupt welfare state ! I call it a "break out" (my brother's term) ! I hope the Greeks bought some gold like I did ! Fuck 'em all ! Monedas 2012 Author of my own public assistance plan !
Poor story with its unsubstantiated BLS reference. We want news not editorials.
The USA is not far behind Greece when one considers that the real value of median wages has benn falling for the last two to three decades.
It is a pity though that retrospective audits of Greek politicians pay and activities over the last ten years is not on the agenda.
We already have negative real interest rate, it doesn't surprise me!
Pay to work?
Unfortunately nothing new under the sun as junior airline pilots are required to pay for their own training and also don't get any salary whilst paying off huge student loans.
its all ready been done about 8 years ago, but the IAM Union and USSCAREWAYS to the Aircraft Technicians.
Retroactive concessions, and industry first.
Do we get retractive payback when contract negotiations drag on for years, usually not.
