No (not an austerian hack)
I for one strongly believe in pensions for 45 year olds and tax exemptions for random islands.
That's a strawman. It's fairly reasonable demanding reforms because it's obvious that aspects of Greek pension system like early retirements are not sustainable. However, the issue is that IMF and "institutions" demand additional cuts when the wages have been drastically lowered a couple of times. Is it so difficult to understand that reforming the system and lowering wages below the subsistence level are different things?
As for "tax exemptions for random islands", Greece is not the only country where that happens. I, for instance, live in an insular territory with a special tax system. Singularities and exemptions are motivated for the particular nature of islands, which have clear disadvantages with regard to continental places. For instance, transport is much more expensive and that affects the cost of living and mobility.
