deals with the history of Greece me pretty much. I have the internet so a little research and found an article. I find him really well written. so I'll copy him in here immediately. the article, or it is more of a letter was written by star -author Walter Wüllenweber. He complains a little .. cope. So please read over! It's worth it.
love Greek!
Do you know that with you also, an aunt that feeds one's childhood and youth through the piggy bank? The first bike, the first radio, the first holiday travel - they are always a few bills to do so. And for that it requires nothing more than now and then a friendly thank-you. Dear friends, this is a letter from your aunt's money. Do not worry, you do not have to say thanks. The only thing we do is: Put yourself in our position once.
Since 1981, over 29 years are we from the same family, with the EU. No other member of the family in this time so much money put into the common fund as we are, namely, net of 200 billion €. And apiece, almost nobody can get as much as you, together net almost 100 billion. So about half of what we have dumped into the EU pot, have you skimmed off with a large trowel. In other words Mathematically, we have given to Germans over the years, each of you Greeks, from infants to the elderly, over 9000 €. Just like that. Was Neat, huh? Voluntarily "has probably never support a people another over such a long period of time so generously. You are truly our dearest friends. How
us went in all the years that have you never asked. I guess today you do not just burn out something about our concerns. I'll tell you anyway: Our roads are so full of holes like old buildings, because we lack the money for maintenance. Libraries and swimming pools are closed. Some cities want to every second street light at night, because they can not pay the electricity bill. Unlike your our wages have been rising since the introduction of the euro no longer practical. And now we will also save you even Greeks. The concerns about you, who have the last straw. Your
you've earned our distrust honest: In the summer of your flare regularly from this beautiful land that God has given you. And then you shout at our fire department, because you are not alone get deleted. You want all the public in the service, but no one wants to pay taxes. If only a part agrees with the reports we read in the last few weeks had, then you are apparently only willing to work, if you get this bribe. Above all, your doctors and hospital staff long to strong. So you cheating on your other, wherever you can. That will not matter. But you also deceive us. For many years. That we do care.
your collected for more olive trees EU subsidies than can fit in your country. Obviously you understand something from bookkeeping, for to meet the stability criteria for the euro, you have falsified your books as systematically and skillfully that the Brussels have not noticed anything. In truth you have never earned the €. In spite of your data, it is swindled you succeeded since the introduction of the euro than ever, the stability criteria to fulfill. To have your business appear larger, you have let you come up with a nice sleight of 2006 and included further ado, the proceeds from money laundering, drug trafficking and smuggling in the annual economic output of your proud nation. For decades
spend more money than they acquired, as of course to live at the expense of others, continually deceive and trick - this can not ever be well. Eventually the house of cards collapses. Eventually is now. Are strictly taken your bust.
power you have no illusions. If Angela Merkel promises, "Greece is not left alone," it's not more of our Chancellor and us Germans Greeks around you. Our concern is only our own future. The trouble is: We are chained to you. If your sets, you draw us under water. For example, through the 300 billion debt that you have piled up over the years. About 30 billion of which belong to savers with German banks, in the form of Treasury bonds. Whether you will pay back the ever? Your behalf, the euro to its knees. We are facing inflation. This means: What do German savers have traveled to the passbook or life insurance for the future is always worth less. Because of you. Such thoughts, of course you are a stranger, save for or invest is not your thing. Your skin out the Euros better. You're in the EU Greeks, the people who squandered the largest share of his money for consumption.
The EU leaders have indeed decided that you shall not receive direct grants. For now. But you need help. And in the EU aid means the end is money, more precisely, our money. Slowly
is clear to us Germans: we had to first save the banks, now we need you to save the Greeks and eventually all countries with a pig industry - the "PIIGS, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain. One bad one of these countries are in it, the experts agree would be an exception, a tragedy that would appear even the banking crisis as a comedy.
Kluge German constitutional law have already warned against the introduction of the Euro: The Economic Union can not function without political union. You were right. Now we see the dramatic democratic deficit. We Germans are dependent on the decisions of the Government of Greece. But we can not choose. You Greeks can choose it, but you have completely different interests. We want your Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou runs through his savings program. At least. Better would it be if he still grew at reforming a tooth. But you want it not quite obvious. You make what you do always your strike. Last week the government, all next week, a general strike. Dear, dear Greeks when your next week is on the road, then strike, then demonstrated, then you not protest against your government, but against us. The Zorro, who has always saved and you will save more, which your a kick between his knees.
love Greek financial officer is, please do not go on strike next week, but finally drives the taxes Your millionaires, of whom you will date for turning away paid the same royalty.
love Greek doctors go, please do not go on strike next week, but will address your patients. From now on, without having to ask for a money envelope. And then just your taxable income. Yes, then you can watch the Porsche next order until a year later. You will survive it.
love Pensioners of Greece, when has anyone worked with us throughout his life, he receives merely 40 percent of his average income as a pension. We are on the fourth to last place in the OECD countries. And who is number one? Correct: Your. About 95 percent of your income your average begrudge you a pension. In order to smooth things, you attack back into the bag of tricks: You simply relates the amount of benefits not risk a lifetime, but only the last three to five years of employment. Therefore, it is usual for you that the employer pay at the end again increased sharply. Of the money that you we almost have sponsored for 30 years, you begrudge you a more comfortable retirement than we can afford. Find your that fair? So, dear pensioners in Greece: You are the generation that caused this mess. Now times still hold their feet to demonstrate not do, and let's run through your government, the savings plans.
love And, citizens of Greece, you do not talk out with it, your politicians are solely to blame for the disaster. You do have invented democracy, and should know that you, the people governed, and are therefore responsible. No one is forcing you to evade taxes, to take bribes to strike against any sound policy and to elect corrupt politicians. Politicians are populists. They do exactly what you want. Surely you will now argue, your German, you are still not much better. Right. A pension scheme to which no one dares even, civil service pensions, of which no one knows how they will be paid in the future, a tax system that looks as if experienced evaders it came up, and above all, a mountain of debt, at some point to slide and everything gets buried among themselves - exactly the problems we have. And you are us on this path of vice is not that far ahead, as many believe.
Greeks used to have you shown us the way to have democracy to the world, the philosophy and the first understanding of economics taught. Now your shows us the way again. Only this time it's the wrong way. Where you are, you go no further.
Best wishes, Walter Wüllenweber
