They had to steal the bailout money first.

I just listened to a report on Bloomberg radio about Greece. I think it was from a foreign news source.

Oh boy! They are painting a big fat target on Greek 'tax evaders' and 'rich' Greeks. You could hear the sneer in the narrator's voice as she said 'tax evaders'.

They reported that of the 17,000+ homes with swimming pools, only 2% pay the required tax. Then they said that if you're a Greek traveling to Switzerland, get ready for some unwelcome attention.

Scapegoating and demagoguery in real time.

The rich moved their money out of the country quite a while ago.
