Exit polls suggest a historic victory for the anti-austerity Syriza party in Greece's closely fought general election.

One poll suggested Syriza took 35.5% of the votes, and the other suggested it took 39.5%, well ahead of ruling New Democracy party on 23%-27%.

It is unclear whether Syriza has enough votes to govern the country alone.

Syriza's Alexis Tsipras has pledged to renegotiate Greece's debt arrangement with international creditors....

So they front loaded two massive tax increases and revenues drop as people go Galt. Duh?

Like they didn't already have a huge non-compliance issue.

There is an explanation for a liberal's belief. It's called the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Stupid people, Leftists, always believe they are brighter, more skilled than they are. That still small voice, however tells them that they can't quite get it. It's why they MUST bring everything down to their level. Total equality, lowest common denominator. It's why they hate the idea of an IQ, and denigrate the tests.

The reason they never learn that communism doesn't work is because they actually believe it has never been properly implemented, like THEY would employ it. All the other failures are because stupid Russians, Cubans, Polish, didn't do it right.

The Greek left is going to collapse the country, and blame it on capitalist greed, just like Obama and our Left have done to our economy. Then, they will point at their cooked numbers and tell us we've never had it better.

You can NOT spend your way out of debt.

And calling me a racist isn’t going to change that.

Greek ‘austerity’ involved borrowing and taxing the whole way through. I think they’ll do better letting the commies crash the entire country. Maybe they’ll luck out and get a Pinochet. What a mess.

The history of liberty is short and rare.

Think of the idiocy of a government that simply cuts spending (and probably not very wisely) without cutting the tax and regulatory regime that created the problem in the first place.
