I thought that one of Greece's big problems is that there's already an ongoing "I won't pay" (taxes) ... um, movement.

"ATHENS - In the wealthy, northern suburbs of this city,

where summer temperatures often hit the high 90s, just

324 residents checked the box on their tax returns

admitting that they owned pools.

So tax investigators studied satellite photos of the

area - a sprawling collection of expensive villas tucked

behind tall gates - and came back with a decidedly

different number: 16,974 pools."
