The WSJ applauds the Greek government’s leading supply sider.

Mr. Samaras is calling for a cut in the Greek corporate income tax to 15% from 24%, along with cuts in the personal income-tax rate and taxes on fuel and tourism. In yesterday’s interview he argues that lower rates would ease Greece’s rampant tax-evasion problem while unleashing the creativity of the private sector. Sounds about right to us. As long as Mr. Samaras is looking for unorthodox ideas, we’d commend to his attention economist Steve Hanke’s proposal, outlined on these pages last year, to sharply cut payroll taxes on employers to reduce labor costs and spur job creation. Greece’s labor costs have soared over the past decade under union pressure, and those uncompetitive wages are a big part of Greece’s sluggish economy.
