Greece is in trouble.
Big trouble.
Of course, this is what happens when you tax and tax and tax all the while believing that government won’t spend and spend and spend.
In the end, people don’t see the expenditures as a method to deal with a short-term crisis or as a stimulus; they see it as an entitlement. These people literally feel it is their ‘effin birthright to be be born, work a little while, and then retire to a life of luxury at the ripe old age of 52.
Vacations and wine for everyone!
Well, when the excess of the Leftist rears its ugly hangover, this is what you get:
(Reuters) – Greek riot police with teargas and batons fought hooded youths near parliament on Tuesday as violence broke out at a rally against anti-austerity measures international lenders have demanded from the Athens government.
With Greece on the edge of bankruptcy, parliament is due to vote this week on a package of spending cuts, tax increases and privatizations agreed as part of a massive bailout aimed at averting the euro zone’s first default.
In the face of massive default, they can’t let go the concept that they don’t own what they didn’t earn.
Lord help us!
