Yeah sure. Go open a startup company in Naples, wait for someone to ask you for /pizzo/ and let's talk again about this.

  You know how much is the protection tax in zones controlled by organized crime? 3% of your profit. You know how much the state takes from your (revenue - expenses)? At least 66%.

    Yup, and those two sum up. It's not State XOR Mafia. It's state AND Mafia. As if state alone was not enough.

      Of course they sum up. My point is that there's a much bigger problem in the cost of doing business than the protection tax. About 22 times bigger.
