The '700-euros-is-all-you-get' Syndrome

This syndrome applies more to those in office who are responsible for formulating the legislative law concerning the compensation people should get as opposed to what they deserve. This syndrome is also commonly known to many as the 'the-700-euro-generation.' It basically represents the amount of money most people typically get as their monthly salary. As pathetic of an amount as it may sound it's actually what the government considers to be a just amount of money. I hate to sound ironic but when you try and put two and two together(the cost of living and your salary) you'll realize that the scales of justice are lopsided and that they tend to lean in favor of those who are in power and whose pockets are full of bribes and ill profited gains. It's a sad truth and yet everyone who confesses it seems too downtrodden to try and do anything about it. Even if you did succeed in mustering up more than the common monthly salary, when it comes time for you to submit your tax returns, and you end up showing an income that is above 13,000 a year, then the government has to fine you for making -what they consider to be- 'too much money.' Again, as I've mentioned in some of my previous posts concerning government regulations, it seems that the government wants to find a way to control its citizens from making a descent living, and to make up excuses or laws that would allow them to profit off of those who overstepped their so-called monetary boundaries. Personally, I'm not affected by this since most of the income that I generate is tax-free and comes from online endeavors - all of which don't get accounted for since there's no corresponding store-front location.
