Tough times - Tough Decisions
•
by Manogr
Dear Greeks,
As a member of the congress I know that some times tough decisions should be taken for our country to get back on track. I am sure that many of you can't work because the companies can't pay you... at the same time you can watch the competition from foreign companies in the market place... our economy is a wreck and the only way to improve it is to become competitive as a whole. Companies should be able to survive, pay their taxes and provide employment.
As you know my party Elliniki Enotita opposes the president party... we have many differences, different targets and different beliefs BUT at such difficult times I am following the Presidents wish and I propose a decrease of the minimum wage at 5 GRD... I know that this is low... I am also an employee and I DON'T own any company!
I WILL PROPOSE AN INCREASE AS SOON AS THE SITUATION GET BETTER!!
I may become unpleasant...but I really believe that I am doing the right thing...

Σαν μέλος του κογκρέσου γνωρίζω οτι μερικές φορές οι σκληρές εποχές απαιτούν σκληρές αποφάσεις για να ξαναπάρει η χώρα μας τον σωστό δρόμο. Είμαι σίγουροι οτι πολλοί απο εσάς δεν μπορείτε να εργαστείτε γιατί η εταιρία δεν έχει χρήματα να σας πληρώσει. Την ίδια στιγμή μπορείτε να δείτε τον ανταγωνισμό από ξένες εταιρίες στο Market Place... η οικονομία μας έχει ναυαγήσει και ο μόνος τρόπος για να την σώσουμε είναι να γίνουμε μία πιο ανταγωνιστική ολότητα. Οι εταιρίες μας πρέπει να μπορέσουν να επιβιώσουν, να πληρώνουν τους φόρους τους και να να προσφέρουν εργασία.
Όπως γνωρίζεται το κόμμα μου, Elliniki Enotita, αντιπολιτεύεται το κυβερνών κόμμα. Έχουμε πολλές διαφορές, διαφορετικούς στόχους και άλλη ιδεολογία (μην ξεχνάτε ότι είμαστε το μόνο κόμμα για πραγματικούς Έλληνες) ΑΛΛΑ αυτή την στιγμή ακολουθώ την επιθυμία του προέδρου και προτείνω την μείωση του κατώτατου μισθού στις 5 GRD... το ξέρω οτι είναι λίγο... και εγώ είμαι απλά υπάλληλος και δεν έχω καμία δικιά μου εταιρία.
ΕΓΩ Ο ΙΔΙΟΣ ΘΑ ΠΡΟΤΕΙΝΩ ΑΥΞΗΣΗ ΟΤΑΝ ΒΕΛΤΙΩΘΕΙ Η ΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΣΗ!
'Ίσως γίνομαι δυσάρεστος αλλά πιστεύω ότι κάνω το σωστό...

I agree Manogr. As things stand for us now, starting a "civil war" is the worst scenario. Although I am not a congressman I support in my ways the Greek Government.
i also agree we need to get back control of domestic markets and 5 is better than nothing, as it is now there are 0 jobs for skill 0-.99 on market and we have a 57% unemployment rate.
NO, not change.
your opposed? if so please explain why you think we should keep the wage so high?
VOTE YES CONGRESSMEN. The economy is collapsing and... no wait, it has already collapsed! I would like each one of the Congressmen who already voted no, to explain why they are against the proposal.
Mr President, Mr Manogr...what kind of parties are you leading? What leaders are you if you cannot convince your people to vote one law that it is necessary and urgent.
I suggest companies to fire all their employees until minimum wage reaches at most 5 GRDs. It's the only way to survive and make the congressmen wake up.
The economy is doing poorly, and I have no confidence in the GRD retaining its value day to day.
You want solvency, you figure out what kind of salary equals a living wage, double it and make that the national floor. You want improvements like a nice hospital or barracks, then you ought to make the country nice enough to attract philanthropic individuals to underwrite the expenses.
And please come back to us with an explanation of why those 5 voted No. Without understanding the outcome you'll never be able to change it.
I created a new proposal and put in this article for the discussion. I voted yes both times as our economy needs to be rebuilt and we're forcing many companies to operate at a loss. Hopefully this time we'll hear more input from the other members of congress.
I created a new housing company yesterday, but it has no effect on my vote. I made it to help our unemployment rate knowing it would be a money sinkhole.
So long as the hills of Greece are goon, then I am in lockstep with the worthy leadership of our party.
Any thoughts to using the GoonRepublik for ideas?
Will it pass this time? 😃
5-4...one hour to go....any bets?
