If they have 25 % unemployment should we raise the retirement age and have even more unemployment and less money in the economy causing even more unemployment in a viscous circle? Try putting more money into the economy causing more employment then one could dream about increasing the retirement age. Sure go after tax cheats but you nor I have any idea how that can be effectively done. But cheating on taxes isn't just a problem for Grèece. You seem to demand more suffering and I say tell the debtors to make an acceptable offer or they leave the euro and go back to the Dracma.
