The logical consequence of a fundamentally flawed philosophy of society.

This whole chapter in Greek history could be titled “The Philosophically Dumb Make Dumb Choices and Get What They Deserve”.

I should have written

To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches. -Margaret Thatcher

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well. -Margaret Thatcher

"LOL, marching Democrat leeches and communists won't injure me, believe me."

Just wait until they smash a few storefronts where you shop, and the prices go up. Just wait until they start setting things on fire. They will injure all of us, and in some way, probably already have.

11 Million Greeks, $1 Trillion in bailout.

Roughly $90,000 per man, woman and child...

I figure that these Greece-style "marches", when they happen here because the leeches have had their hands smacked away from productive taxpayers' wallets, will happen mainly in the concentrated Democrat parasite nests ("cities"), and I don't go anywhere near those.

It’s always good to do the math.

I remember when Andrew Cuomo was on his Santa Claus tour during the Clinton administration and he was doling out money for addressing “homelessness” and it came to about a quarter-million dollars per “homeless” person. You could buy every one of them a split-level. It never ends.

We can hope that's the case, but I suspect they'll be a lot more widespread than that. Live near a university? Just wait 'til the student loans/grants run out...they'll riot. Live in an agricultural area? Just wait 'til the farm subsidies run out...they'll riot.

These people are locusts, and the fundamental problem with the entitlement mindset is that when they stop receiving, they start taking, and once they strip an area bare, they'll just move on to the next.

The problem is that they are worst then locusts.

They believe in some of the worst ritualistic bs about giving up human life in the pursuit of wealth.

They make up for their excess by killing the elderly,the productive and the young.Demands for abortion,demands for Euthanasia and demands for more taxes to be raised on workers.

Mostly because they want to incapacitate their host.
