It’s time for the Euromorons to stop giving money to a failed collectivist country. It’s time to let them suffer for their own moral failings.

Let them print their own money at cost, reduce taxes, reduce government regs, and make it easy individual, free enterprise to take hold of the country so they can be financially self-sufficient.

The Greek government is fighting the tyranny of the EU and its austerity.

Greece’s government includes the conservative Independent Greeks and their leader Defense Minister Panos Kammenos.

These folks are not the fascist Golden Dawn.

Greece is opposing the EU corporatists, the big banks, big business and big government types that push open borders Amnesty, Gay Marriage with persecution of those who oppose it, International Trade Deals and Climate Change policies to favor big business and crush small business and individuals.

I wonder if the current Greeks are really descended from the ancient Greeks, or are mainly descended from the Slavs who invaded Greece in the Middle Ages.

Now with DNA testing, it might be possible to answer that, just as recent DNA tests showed that Kennewick Man really was an American Indian.

Socialism will not work, whether in one country, a multi-state region such as Europe, or the entire world. Ludwig von Mises explained that socialism is not an alternative economic system. It is a program for consumption. It tells us nothing about economic production. Since each man's production must be distributed to all of mankind, there is no economic incentive to produce anything, although there may be the incentive of coercion and threats of violence. Conversely, free market capitalism is an economic system of production, whereby each man owns the product of his own labors and, therefore, has great economic incentives to produce both for himself, his family, and has surplus goods to trade for the surplus product of others. Even under life and death threats neither the socialist worker nor his overseer would know what to produce, how to produce it, or in what quantities and qualities. These economic cues are the product of free market capitalism and money prices.

The end result of Socialism is the creation of totalitarian regimes where the only people with the products they need are those with the most coercive power. In recorded history these are the dictators, the aristocracies and the monarchies where power is concentrated and available only to the few who are able to raise and maintain the biggest armies. There is no room in any socialistic society for the free individual. The Founding Fathers were well aware of this when they designed an instrument which limits the power of government and provided a means (the Second Amendment) to enforce it.

The Greeks are freeloading bums who don't want to pay their tab so they are skipping out on the bill.

Let them act like a bunch of petulant children and become a third world country.

They'd better not ask Germany or France for help when, isolated from the EU, Turkey and Russia - both ruled by fascist maniacs - decide to carve them up.

It's funny, Nextrush, how you are trying to obscure the facts with a lot of blather.

Greece wanted to join the EU.

They lied about their finances to get in.

Once they got in, they borrowed as much money as they possibly could and continued to fake their books.

Corrupt Greek politicians and criminal Greek citizens took all of that money then refused to pay it back.

Then, instead of balancing their budget and being responsible grownups, they burned down a bank with a pregnant woman inside and whined and complained that they are the "victims" of the people whom they lied to and stole from.

This is supposedly a conservative website.

Posters here should theoretically support balanced budgets, personal accountability, paying back what you borrow, and telling the truth.

Syriza is a neocommunist organization that opposes all of the above, and you are their shill, Nextrush.

Cut spending and raise taxes? Where do they get their economists from the IMF?

“The Greeks should vote “no!””

Yeah, because the rest of the world is so eager to trade valuable things to the Greeks in exchange for New Drachmas.

They should vote NO and repudiate the debt completely. There is no amount of austerity or belt tightening that is going to fix the problem. They’re bankrupt.

The conditions sound good, other than the tax hikes of course.
