Equity markets are off doing their own thing again while the momentary lapse of confusion and chaos in Europe persists. Now that Greece has been able
[See the full post at: The Greeks Were Given an Opportunity to Dig Their Own Graves]This is just the natural progression of a world without morals. Greek corruption is as much to blame for this as anything else. Everyone has figured out how to get a free slice of the pie and it seems that 120% of it has been served up to date.

No, its “Capitalism is great until you run out money to steal from other people”.
Fixed that for you.

Let me fix it
“The Greeks Were Given an Opportunity to Dig The EU Graves”
Since joining the EU they have been receiving but have not been able to pay for any of it.
When the banksters came for Ireland, I called the Irish drunken fools and did nothing.
When the banksters came for Greece, I called the Greeks lazy socialists and did nothing.
When the banksters came for Spain, I called the Spaniards siesta-taking, salsa-dancing clowns and did nothing.
etc., etc.

How exactly do you think the EU core populations have exported their way into such wealth? Why do you think they are trying so hard to keep a tiny country like Greece in? Please show me one other Western nation that is suffering like Greece is right now before you tell me they haven’t paid.
I agree … greeks are suffering.
A story …
A greek walked into a bar and pulled out his little bag of gold dust and shouted ,”A drink for all my friends”.
The bartender said, ” show me your dust”.
The greek quickly flashed his dust and said, “See, I ‘m good for it”.Since the bartender did not have scales he had to put the bill on the tab.
This went on for a long time. Every time that the bartender was going to refuse to give another drink, someone would advance some cash to the greek until the assayer would come around to exchange what was in the bag of dust for money.
However, one day, when the greek was not looking, a lender looked into the dust bag and found that it contained only fools gold.
Realizing that he would not get his promissory note honored and that the greek could not return any of the liquor that he had bought, he sold his promissory not to another lender and got out of the bar.
The stories started circulating that the greek had fool’s gold in his bag.
Since all the lenders and the bartenders were not fools, they all tried to find someone to take their promissory notes before the assayer got into town to do an evaluation of what the greek had in his dust bag.Gold or fool’s gold??
Tell me what will happen to the drunken passed out greek.
Will the bartender take back his liquor in a piss bottle?
Will the lenders take back their money from the bartender and thereby make his problem doubly hard?
Will the lenders go home and tell their grandma that they made a bad investment and that grandma lost all her money and must live in the street?
Will killing the greek solve any of the problems?
(If you like my story you could give me a Thank You)
Tell me, exactly how are the bankers the problem????
YOU and I are the problem. Over and over again we elect people who spend more than they take in. If we don’t pay their ransom the threaten to take way our teachers, policemen and firemen.
Well you know what, we have to let the system disintegrate, possibly teach our own children and protect our own neighborhoods ourselves if we expect any sort of freedom or liberties.
The corporate/large central government model has reached the end of it’s useful life. They are using their power to indoctrinate instead of educate our children and diluting any savings you might have acquired to fund an unsustainable social agenda. Politicians and corporations have made a fortune servicing and promoting poverty!
Nice story, Jal. Wish it had something to do with Europe. Mind if I use it but substitute a Gypsy, Jew, or Negro for the Greek?

I haven’t voted or a Democrat or Republican for president in over 20 years. You want to blame yourself for electing puppet gangstas, that’s your business, but don’t include me.

WTF! Can’t you read. I wrote that I hadn’t voted for a Democrat or Republican for President and you translate that to – I didn’t vote at all. Ever hear of Ralph Nader for example? Though for the most recent part of my life, I couldn’t vote for president if I chose to as the US VI doesn’t have an elector. As to paying taxes, where the hell did that come from? FYI, I have had my pound of flesh extracted annually from my hide. However, I certainly would not personally condemn people who choose not to vote, since the whole system is a ridiculous sham, nor, for that matter, people who don’t pay taxes, particularly if they give the money to stray cats and orphans instead. Truth be told, I have paid my taxes motivated, like most of us, solely by sheer cowardice, and no moral imperative whatsoever.
For what it’s worth, I found your last comment personally offensive. We operate on different standards in the comments of TAE than ZH for example. You seem to be new to the site and may not know that.
I don’t vote at all, in fact I have never even registered to vote. I grasped it was all a sham well before I was old enough to vote.
If I could stay out of Jail and not pay taxes, I most certainly would do that. I do the next best thing, which is to make only as much as i need to and keep my tax liability as low as possible.
“Democracy” is merely a means to take Debt and make it timeless in the Sovereign State. Has nothing whatsoever to do with political freedom in any real sense.
