... or others will make them for you. Are you listening Greece?
The "chicken in every pot and a 2-month bonus in every bank account" socialist ideology has bankrupted the country. Well, that and the purported underground economy which, by some estimates, is larger than the actual economy. Apparently the government that pays you a 17% premium on your wages for doing *nothing* is not entitiled to have any of it back by way of taxable transactions.
Well, at least the Greeks are taking the bull by the horns by ... going on a national strike! Yup, you read it properly. Before Germany, Europe and indeed the world agrees to a 150 Billion dollar bailout of this dysfunctional state, they asked for some 'austerity' measures (like please collect your legal taxes and stop paying people for doing nothing). This is making the natives restless I guess, but hey at least they're off their assess and doing *something*.
Fascinating. I'm dying to see what happens here. I hope the world says "not a plug nickel for your self-entitled crooked population until they develop a grade-school understanding of mathematics and get the hell out of bed and start working for a living".
