I hope their next hit is better than rap.
It all depends on where they go in life.
Isn't it easy to see inequality when people are color-coded and sing to you about their life? -

@Anonymous: Well hopefully it will lead to people taking a little more pride in their spelling and grammar.

@Anonymous: God i hope you're trolling. I call you a grammar nazi because you are commenting on an image board about spelling mistakes meanwhile a large part of the image board actually uses that on purpose in order to make a point or a joke. This isn't a scientific paper or something important it's a fucking image board you tool.
Tl;dr: Claims ignorance meanwhile ignorant himself, proceeds to using ad hominem -

@Anonymous: You can spell perfectly and still be as dumb as a brick. i would rather see someone who cant spell, or someone who uses grammer wrong, say an original thought that changes the way i think and see the world, than see a thousand people who can spell perfectly who have nothing worthwhile to say.
gramar nazis usually appear as a last ditch attempt to discredit the winning side of an argument. i think there bad reputation is deserved because of that. i do think the pro ignorance pov promoted in popular culture for the past 4 decades is disgusting.
but you know, thats just like, my opinion man. -
@Anonymous: I don't know what site you're on but i think you might have it confused with something else.

There are two ends to the Greek sovereign debt problem. They pay out too much and they don't enforce their own tax laws. Modest adjustments to both practices would straighten things out, but they lack the political will to hire tax collectors that are willing to do their jobs.

@burrowowl: The issue, like you said, is really about too many costs with too little income. There are two responses to such a situation:
a) tax the livelihood out of the economy with increasingly higher rates as commerce decreases further and further with each addition of taxation.
b) cut the number of services provided by the government.
Yes, societies have social contracts and need to engage in various public works that -- though they harm the private economy by taking money out of it -- are worthwhile. Things like roads and firemen come to mind.
However, the more government encroaches on the money meant for private industry, the less individuals can support themselves AND the more they come to expect more for less (ie, "free" healthcare). Politicians want to be re-elected and like offering such candy ... so it becomes a heavily reinforced issue until ... like Greece ... things finally collapse.
It's not JP Morgan's fault. It's not the fault of Goldman Sachs. It's the fault of the people who thought they could get stuff for "free" and of the government who promised to give out "candy" even while knowing what the books looked like.
Banks don't require you to borrow from them. They simply facilitate the capacity to do so. Those who use banks intelligently win ... those who do not (like Greece) lose.2 -
@Anonymous: I think you've confused me with the folks that are blaming banks here. Greece may well have been cheated by large banks, but "don't get cheated any more" isn't a useful suggestion for how their current situation should be remedied going forward.
Taxing citizens to pay for roads and other shared infrastructure doesn't harm business, as those businesses rely on the shared infrastructure to facilitate their commerce.
In Greece one large part of the problem is a particularly rampant culture of tax fraud on the part of its citizenry and endemic passivity among the government workers responsible for tax collection. I'm not suggesting that Greece raise its taxes, I'm recommending that Greece collect its taxes in addition to cutting back its expenditures.
A bad analogy here would be if you are having problems making ends meet at home, so you cut back on entertainment, clothing, and food. You find a cheaper place to rent. Meanwhile you've only been cashing 2/3rds of your paychecks. Which makes you more of a dumbshit, your clothing budget or those uncashed checks gathering dust?2 -

@burrowowl: yeah, and there's supposed to be an interest on paid on every dollar bill too but you don't seem to want to talk about that shit either. if that's what the federal reserve expects, then how will we ever get out of debt? yeah, what?
-
@Anonymous: The Greek Federal Reserve does its business in Euro, not Dollars. I was posting about the Greeks, not the US.
As for "getting out of debt," I don't think that's a serious goal for a capitalist-friendly government. Maintaining some level of public debt (probably much smaller than it currently stands in Greece or the USA) is a good thing for the economy, as government bonds provide a low-risk low-yield diversification option for investors and as alternative to commodities and securities.
As for "an interest on paid on every dollar" I have no idea how to parse that into English. Please explain your point.2 -

I agree that the greek goverment is at fault for being too naive/stupid/greedy to accept the Goldman Sachs scam. But Goldman Sachs is not innocent.
