I for one strongly believe in pensions for 45 year olds and tax exemptions for random islands.

No, you are not an austerian hack,  but you are the type of hack that destroyed Greece in the first place.

That's a strawman. It's fairly reasonable demanding reforms because it's obvious that aspects of Greek pension system like early retirements are not sustainable. However, the issue is that IMF and "institutions" demand additional cuts when the wages have been drastically lowered a couple of times. Is it so difficult to understand that reforming the system and lowering wages below the subsistence level are different things?

As for "tax exemptions for random islands", Greece is not the only country where that happens. I, for instance, live in an insular territory with a special tax system. Singularities and exemptions are motivated for the particular nature of islands, which have clear disadvantages with regard to continental places. For instance, transport is much more expensive and that affects the cost of living and mobility.

I would vote for it; whether I approve of it I don't know.

Why should we care what the Greeks vote? There's a good chance that they're out of the Euro before the vote anyway, and then it doesn't matter anymore.

For all the problems with those things, how much of the Greek debt do they make up? Greece has plenty of problems with corruption and featherbedding, but this kind of reminds me of how King mocks people who think you can balance the US budget by cutting Congressional salaries.

Are the relative few Greek gaining pension at age 45 the problem, not really it's the many who get it at age 50 and 55.

As for the sales tax on islands, yes that's a major problem. Sales taxes is one of the easiest one to collect and even a small rise in sales taxes for a relative limited number of people still give quite large tax revenues.
