Taxes are optional in Greece

In Greece, taxes are optional. And then their economy just crumbles every like 10, 15 years. They're like, Hey, we should probably start paying taxes. ... I looked, I just, I just Googled that. Yes. Currently more than half of Greek households are exempt from any personal income tax.

While tax evasion has been a historical issue in Greece, taxes are legally mandatory. The 50% exemption stat he found likely refers to low-income thresholds, not optionality.
