“...What is going on in Greece is the result of the introduction of the Euro and the globalization brought about by unrestrained international capitalists who owe allegiance to nothing but money...”

This is the same old left-wing cliche - capitalistss and the unkown/unseen money-men stealing bread from the mouths of poor mothers. Oh yeah, and “globalization” is always thrown around too.

Face it - it is left-wing cronyism, high taxes and a basic lack of respect for personal freedom and property that is destroying the economy of Greece.

And don't forget, as the article points out, the failure of the public-education system, which can in no way be less Leftist than the US system of indoctrination.

Let's face it, these youths are little more than collectivist pit bulls that have been raised on ropes dipped in chicken blood.

Of course I wouldn’t know, but I suspect that you haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. On the contrary, I do. Left wing cronyism in Greece is exceeded only by right-wing cronyism. Basic personal freedom in Greece far exceeds anything we know here in America and virtually no one pays ANY taxes, which, as a practical matter, are not high to begin with.
