ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Local authorities on the Greek island of Hydra have denounced an attack by a local crowd on tax police after they detained a restaurant owner who did not provide receipts to clients.

The Friday incident happened after the inspectors wanted to transport the restaurant owner to Athens, an hour's ride away by fast boat. They were set upon by a local crowd, which also attacked the boat's crew.

The police, along with the restaurant owner, had to retreat to the island's police station, which was besieged until riot police arrived Saturday morning. Locals cut off the station's electricity and water supplies. The owner was transported to Athens by coast guard ship Saturday.

Debt-crippled Greece is attempting to crack down on endemic tax evasion, as it tries to put its finances in order.

Well, they are not really socialists. Even most members of the Communist Party of Greece are "tax evaders" and say that the government is corrupt and irresponsible. They want free stuff, but they hate taxes too. That's why Greek politicians amassed the this huge government debt, so that they could buy votes and had not to crack down on "tax evaders" the same time.

But thats ok, so long as its your country footing the bill, right?

The drachma will never be worth anything if they try to reinstate it. They're just better off using the Euro while not being a member nation.

Well, it's the German politicians' fault. They want a European Empire that can compete with the US and emerging world powers like China at all cost. They are imperialists and fascists, but because WW2 and the holocaust discredited German nationalism and imperialism, they switched to Pan-European nationalism and imperialism.
