  1. Yeah, but at least in France they can have non-taxed offshore accounts and you don't get taxed if you don't live in france for more than six months of the year.

    We're worse than France now? That's really saying something.

    Maybe we're Greece in the making.

  3. Yes, it is. Oh joy. I think this country has 10 years - 15, tops. That's how long it will take medicare, medicaid, social security and Obamacare to turn the whole country into Greece.

  4. Whats wrong with being Greece? Work til your 53, get paid for 14 months a year and when the well runs dry send the bill to Germany. Sounds pretty cozy to me. lol!

    California's example isn't enough?

    I thought I heard a Greek politician claim they would not be in this mess if they had "just compensation" from Germany for the Nazi era. It seems its always the fault of someone else!

    Apparently not. Nor does it seem that Greece is, yet. :(
