The people voted for it, as a whole.

I hold individual rights sacrosanct, and do not believe the property of everyone should be plundered to satisfy the whims of a transient majority.

When our government goes belly up because of debt, won’t we be the ones to suffer?

I'd suffer a lot more if you supported people seizing my property to try and make good on promises I never supported. I've taken pains to take care of me and mine irrespective of how others vote. I find it odd that freepers support liquidating my assets to pay off Chinese or Japanese held T-bills, and yet we're having this discussion...

Yeah, you’re right. I would never support taking anyone’s property for any reason.

I don’t know what I was thinking. Probably about pensions being cut - THAT is acceptable and necessary. If people as a whole vote to not pay back a debt, then the people as a whole need to suffer the consequences. That is just wrong. But not some individuals that have money or property over those that don’t.

But the way they are talking about stealing people’s money in the banks if they have over 8000 euros - makes me want to put all my money under my mattress. Our government will be thinking about the same thing next.
