Riots in Greece

[Bindare_Dundat]

The lid is going to completly blow off this thing pretty soon.

Its coming here with public employees when they realize their pensions are gone and they get laid off because they have been living in fantasy land for far too long.

That's Obama's vision for the USA.

Maybe, but I believe it is going to be the natural result of his prolifigate maddoffian schemes and scams. 

This govt is so reckless, so obscene, so deranged and demented, so lustful of power, control and our money, that if and when it happens here, i will not at all be unhappy if a few politicians get Mussolini treatment.

Unlikely.

Public employee union workers will be the last ones around that actually have jobs. They have an limitless well from which to draw cash and benefits from.

Jerry Brown is now admitting a disaster California is.  hhhmmm why did he not admit that during the campaign? 

[George Whorewell]

Change we can believe in!


(pssst- It's wall streets fault)

All talk at this point. Let's see what he actually does.

Illegals and public unions (and dumbfuck voters) have diseased this state beyond repair.

Its called - Socialism/Communism/Welfarism/Big Govt'ism/Nanny Statism/Progressivism etc etc always ends in failure and collapse. 

We will have the same thing here soon enough.  The only reason we havenot had a collapse yet is because we have a central bank to print phantom money to keep the ponzi scheme alive. 

[Slapper]

That will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, come to the US.

We're too passive and contempt with our system of privilege.

Greeks have balls.

We don't (plus we have a government that will not hesitate a single second if it needs to turn on its people).

[Soul Crusher]

True.  They will go waco on us easily.

And just to bring a personal point into the subject... me wife is a public employee. Has been for a while. No one, and I mean, no one, will work for the public sector unless you give them something extra. She is making, easily, 65% of what she could be making in the private sector. The only difference are the pension perks. You take that away and see how fast the cities lose employees. And not to mention funds, because a huge % of the retirement funds out there are invested back in the city. No one else will buy municipal (bonds) shit. Only the "evil" public employees do.

Back in 1998, when she graduated and made the decision to go into the NYC public system her friends were like "what in the world! No! You're about to make the biggest mistake of your life!". Now, they only WISH they had gotten into the system themselves.

A public school janitor can make an additional 35% in total income if they worked in the private sector?

If these Greeks loved working as much as they do rioting their country wouldn't be on the verge of defaulting on its bailout. Fuck them.

The Greeks are not stupid. They know a bad card as soon as one is dealt to them. We, Gringos, don't have that. It's as simple as that.

What has happened all over the world, thanks to this economic "crisis" is that, to use the car analogy, all governments forced people (and I say "forced" because when you make all other options incredibly expensive it's not really an option, they're actively forcing you into a decision) to buy cars, then they flooded the street with cheap gas and... let's just say that when it came time to pass another incredible, mindblowing, amount of money to the richest 5%, they pulled the carpet under the other 95% of the population by making gas either very expensive or not producing enough, which is the equivalent of saying "Psssssyche!! Fuck you 95%!!". And the media did it's job of devil's advocate by selling the "it's your fault 95%, you want too much of the American Dream".

I tell you, the USA is about 3 or 4 economic bubbles away from a communist state (which I'd despise by the way).

[Slapper]

What amazes me about the USA is that immense fortunes are channeled/funneled from 95% of the population to a ruling 5% elite every day of the week. And Americans don't seem to care. Don't give a hoot.

go start a business and run it successfully...

what makes you think you should be entitled to a big portion of their profits when you take little to no risk?

Oh please dude.......what's going on in Greece has fuck all to do with unioners and public employees........and everything to do with their corrupt government bankrupting their fucking country and spending everyone into debt.  Godbless the Greeks........as usual they have balls to actually rise up and do something about their government.  Look at the English college kids.  Rising up!  The French....rise up!  What does America do?  We let our government pass a $725 billion defense budget.  LMAO!  A fucking joke we have become nowadays.  That's ok it's the weekend and most will be plopping their lard ass in front of the televesion to watch their favorite professional sports team while they collect their unemployment.

   Do you even fucking understand the difference between socialism and fascism?  We don't need socialism or communism dude........we have been a fascist nation for a long time now.  When you have a government that taxes its people and funnels that money to the private sector you have fascism.  I love how people throw around terms like socialism and communism and say the US is going to be this or that..........most of the time they have no fucking clue what either mean.  The private sector in America is as propped up by government as the public sector.  You just don't want to admit it.  70% of our intelligence budget is funneled into private companies.  Look at our defense industry.......look at agriculture..........loo k at banking and finance.............TONS of private industry is propped up by government so for anyone to glorify how "free market" the American economy is are total retards.  And it was this way wel before Obutthead got into office.

LOL........yeah it's crazy........Americas are so fucking clueless.......they live under this false pretense of capitalism and the free market and wonder why unemployment is going up, our infrastructure is crumbling......the banks are getting bailed out, real estate is collapsing etc..........LOL........ ....The US government is one big corporation unanswerable to the people and propping up the rich and mega corporations.

Well, run an economy based on risk (instead of production and innovation) and see how far that takes you. You know, the middle class is pretty much toast in America nowadays. Keep running the economy the way we are and eventually the % of poor Gringos will increase to the point of no return.

The main problem for the George Soros and Warren Buffets is that many Americans own guns. And they know how to use them too.

We might've lost the ability to tell when someone has rammed something big and spiky up our asses, but we sure know when the emperor is naked.

LOL dont get it mixed up broham im not in favor of big bail outs for the "to big to fail" bull shit but you still havent given a reason or even justification for the idea that you should get paid more for doing the same job...

if its their company and you dont like it go work somewhere else...BETTER YET go start your own company with your ideals, I mean Ill come work for you if im going to get 15% of the companies profits

Im sure our production would be through the roof, right?

Ill be waiting for that pm on when you will pay my moving costs to come work for you 

[Slapper]

I mean, Big Business has figured out a way to redirect American's concerns and demands to a government that is pretty much "ceremonial" to some degree.

The US government does two things very well: Collect taxes and start wars.

They've basically outsourced the economy to a handfull of banks and financial institutions they call "the market".

It's amazing. People really believe they have a chance to become part of the 5%. They sure give up a hell of a lot in return though.

What does this rambling, raving, idiotic post have to do with Greece, which is a failed socialist experiment?

The Greeks are incredibly stupid. Their little socialist experiment failed spectacularly and they had to go crawling to Germany on their hands and knees for a bailout. Now they're crying because they don't want to fix their broken system and want to continue living their lives of lethargy collecting their fat government benefits. Given that you're a socialist I know it will be hard for you to come to grips with the fact that it fails anywhere and everywhere but Greece is just another in a long line of examples.

Socialism does not, nor will it ever, work. Out of curiosity, though, just how much charitable work helping the downtrodden man do you do? I'd put a gun to my head and take the bet that you do jack shit like the typical socialist scumbag. Most socialist dreams of helping the common man extend only to spending other's money and then it stops there.
