Greece: Of paupers and taxes | 143 comments (143 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)
I'm not sure when it was ... (none / 0)
within the last 2 years, I believe. The word from the US govt to Europe was to crash the Greek economy (don't know why; For the fun of it? As a warning to other govts.?) or the US would crash Europe's. Probably has something to do with protecting banks but that's just a guess.

Today Greece, tomorrow the rest of us.

Have a good day.

P.S. Here's a thought. Once Greece is totally destroyed maybe the ultrawealthy will swoop in and make it an enclave. A place to live while they destroy the rest of us.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.
