@faraday Please allow me to introduce you to the Greek taxation system.

When the financial crisis began the government came up with a brilliant, innovating way to tax people - based on 'expected future income'. So they'd tax you this year on what you made so far, and what they expect you to make next year... then the idea is they'll pay you for the difference. Of course calculating that difference takes a while - in some cases more than 365 days.

I also call that "taking people's stuff".
