re: #290 Dark_Falcon

Greece has had chance upon chance to enact needed reforms and improve its government’s functionality and it has failed to use those chances. Too many Greeks, for example, still think of evading taxes as their right. If they want to think that way, then its their right to think that way. But others in Europe are growing unwilling to keep rescuing Greeks from the consequences of their bad judgement.

Evading taxes, by the way, is not part of a far-left problem. In this post, you’ve deftly moved from your ham-handed attack on the ideology to a real, actual criticism: Greece has a cultural problem with tax evasion. The ease with which you move from an ignorant attack on ideology—as if it’s this far-left party’s fault that Greece is in the position it is in, that their policies put them there—to one of the real reasons for Greece’s problem without acknowledging it at all is startling. Do you even realize when you do this?
