Yeah I read it... that's why I responded.
You act as if politicians go around blaming themselves, rather than everyone else.

It is estimated each Greek spends $2000 a year on backhanders, 25% of greeks admit cheating on their taxes...I could go on and on. not saying saying they're lazy, I'm sure many are hard working people but they need to take a good hard look at themselves before pointing fingers  |
All I did is state what actually happened... right wingers never do that.
It can be directly compared to America, we are taking away the peoples benefits all over, already invested, and lost trillions 1/3 of the wealth poof... basically shifted the money away, bankrupting the system on budgets they blew out.... "exactly like greece".. the money went to bankers, the cronyism is off the chart... what happened to them, is "exactly" what the extreme right are pushing to happen here, it's what has been happening for 30 years or so.
Greece has been like that for decades, exactly what you listed, taxes and all without any issues - affording it without problem... the issues "ONLY" started "AFTER" politicians started spending them to death, then taking from the public funds, and so on... again, exactly what is happening here.
