PAYBACK?
By David Vance On May 26th, 2012
I can ONLY assume that the IMF wants to see Greece exit the EU!
IMF head Christine Lagarde has urged Greeks to pay taxes, saying she worries more about the plight of children in sub-Saharan Africa than the people of the crisis-hit European nation. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Ms Lagarde suggested it was payback time for Greece.
Can you IMAGINE the impact this will have on the Greeks as they prepare to go BACK to the polls in June? The Left wing anti-austerity parties must be on their knees this morning giving thanks for Madam Lagarde! By the way, I rather agree with what she says – the Greeks are profound tax avoiders but this is not the time to launch into such issues and furthermore surely tax is a National issue?
NO HANDOUTS. Not a single Euro.
Every small country’s sole purpose for entering the European Union was to look for handouts. They got them big time from Germany and France.
Ireland is a perfect example. Take the money and run to the amusement park and have a jolly good time. Just like little kids when they receive their “conformation” money.
Now it’s time to pay the piper and every one of those countries is throwing a tantrum. They want a free ride because they grew up with nanny State Socialism and they see an eternal cornucopia of goodies as their “human right”.
Bull shit. If you can’t be responsible and defer your gratification and pleasure inducing habits to pay your debts then get the hell out. Go, hat in hand, to Asia. Maybe China will embrace your greedy pleasure-seeking ways.
The head of the IMF is usually more concerned about other people and countries than those which he/she is paid to assist. Her predecessor, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was no different.
What’s a Grecian urn?
About 3 quid an hour.
