The book "La Casta", that is people rich and with many privileges, has been a great success in Italy. Were sold over a million copies. Probably 2-3 million of Italians have read it. They have spoken at length in newspapers and in radio and television debates. This was only a few months ago. And now what happened? Absolute nothing. Many people speak of miracles of the government. Of garbage in Naples and the surrounding area, Alitalia, the law "Alfano", the justice reform, fiscal federalism. And what about the casta. Someone took some small measure to begin solving the problem? Not at all.
Salaries, pensions and privileges of all the highest institutional bodies. The Presidency of the Republic, Parliament, the Constitutional Court. Regions, provinces, municipalities and mountain communities, which have cheerful spending. A lot of consultants and service companies with the only aim of creating seats.
And what the unions say? Almost nothing. The Governement should raise pensions and salaries, the Euro epic, control rising inflation and the fiscal drag? Certainly they will, as soon as possible, calmly.
And the Italians? At least those who pay taxes and can not escape? They arranged. Postpone major purchases. Go hunting for deals in supermarkets and make purchases on the stalls. UNTILL WHEN?
