Exploding the myth of the feckless, lazy Greeks

[katsy]

103. The same place we are getting all of

our magical money here in the US of A?

We have an enormous deficit/debt. It is the gop's wish that it be paid by slashing wages, breaking unions and collective bargaining rights, passing out inadequarlte vouchers to replace Medicare, cuts to education... You get the picture? It's a dandy plan, no?

The working class people in Greece, those who received a paycheck from their employer, paid taxes and contributions into pension and healthcare systems. That was done through payroll deduction. It is the rich and business and professional classes that have gamed the system. It is the corrupt polititions who saw to it that the rich bled the treasury dry. Sound familiar?

To impose austerity on the working class is no more just than if we were told that our social security funds must be taken to pay down our deficit.

The rich in Greece are as filthy a creature as the Koch clan.

I don't know what a realistic plan to get their fiscal house in order would look like, but I assure you that killing the working class would be a great injustice.
