While in Italy last year I had a great conversation with a cab driver who for 20+ years had tried to become a resident in the USA but had no luck.
Had a college degree, learned to speak perfect English and had a hunger to be in the USA for opportunity. He was denied, so I suggested he paint himself brown and illegally cross in and apply for religious asylum and welfare.
There are heavy communist party influences in Italy.
There is the mafia.
There is the Catholic Church which acts like the mafia there.
There are all the government employee salaries choking them there.
The average low wage earner pays a 60% tax on their earnings.
There is enough going on to pull off lots of trouble in Italy IMO.
