They certainly are complicit. They don’t pay taxes, they scam all they can. There was the article about all the people who claim to be blind to get benefits. They most certainly have contributed to the mess.

I do not, as you do, conflate the 'they' who claim to be blind with all Greeks.

Do you consider yourself 'complicit' in Obamacare? Should your property be plundered to ensure Obamacare's subsidies do not add to the federal debt?

Do you see no complicity on the part of the Troika who encouraged a furtherance of Greek debt issuance years after their own analysis indicated it could not be redeemed? I don't think that kind of irresponsibility should entitle the lenders to Greek citizen's property. Perhaps in the future they will be more prudent, and thereby force more prudence on profligate governments like the Greek's.

i wonder if the debt is so severe that a strict graduated income tax and corporate taxes would not help.

otherwise, perhaps rich greeks can chip in charity until the worst of the internal crisis is over (should they not? if ordinary greeks had little input to the decision to join the EU in the first place).

And where are the economists who predicted all would be rosy? they should be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

No one is seriously considering invading greece, right?

However, what happens if the Greeks sell rights to the Chinese and Russians, and the West cannot abide by it? A world war? over Greece?

you keep returning to the same point of seizure which i have not advocated. I merely stated the people there are complicit in the problem as well. From the false claims of disabilities, to the avoidance of taxes and the absurdly early retirement schemes they have going, the too share blame.
