When one watches Greece on the news today - it seems the only thing they still produce is nazi uniforms for protests.
And now this article:

Quote:The Greek economy has been tanking for years now as the country struggles to balance its budget by imposing deep austerity measures. But the country's richest residents haven't noticed. Many aren't taxed at all, and some of those that are prefer to dodge their obligation to the state instead.
Don't forget that you're paying for our debt as well
Just be grateful we didn't all move en masse over there, when we got into the EU (a Swiss friend of mine me told that's what they were expecting would happen).All kidding aside, you keep pumping money into something for decades with almost no accountability and see what happens. I wouldn't want to actually have to work for my money if I'd been used to simply borrowing from friends and neighbours, either.
But the eternal dilemma - how can we be happy amid the unhappiness of others?
