“Europe Considers Wholesale Savings Confiscation, Enforced Redistribution”
Holy cow! The EU elites want to live through a second French revolution, complete with beheadings, buckets of blood and brains seeping out their various Nazi and commie orifices.
Okay. I don’t have a problem with that.
It takes real men to have a revolution with beheadings and the like. Unfortunately all the real men in Europe died at the Somme, Verdun and Stalingrad.
The EU bankers and politicians know the quickest way to end up naked and dismembered swinging from a lamp post is try to end the welfare state. They absolutely can not stop spending; their lives depend on it.
Middle class Germans probably won't riot when their pension funds are "rolled into government securities." 40 year old Greek, Spanish and Italian pensioners and government employees absolutely will burn their cities to the ground if the checks stop.
