Your country's being run by an unelected bankster, you're being told you need to tighten your belts to pay back your country's debt, taxes are going up, 'austerity' measures reign, while the top 0.1% haven't suffered at all...what wouldn't be a good thing to happen?
Italian tax collectors accused of pocketing millions for parties
The head of an Italian tax collection agency and four of his employees have been accused of stealing 100 million euros (£63 million) of taxpayers' money
The fresh scandal is likely to infuriate Italians, who are having to pay higher taxes under austerity measures introduced by the technocrat government of Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister.
It will also erode trust in the agencies that have the task of collecting the revenue, in a country in which paying taxes is deeply unpopular at the best of times.
Giuseppe Saggese, 52, the head of Tributi Italia (Italy Taxes), and four of his subordinates are suspected of pocketing the money and spending it on luxury holidays, lavish parties, yachts, sports cars and private planes.
Finance police in Genoa, in northwestern Italy, accused Mr Saggese of personally spending at least 20 million euros of the embezzled funds.
His firm was contracted to collect local taxes on behalf of 400 town councils, from the wealthy Lombardy region in the north to Sicily in the south.
