crockett, I think that you aren't willing to accept that socialism in it's extreme forms never works...unless there are some outside factors keeping it afloat.
When so many people in Greece are on the public dole and retiring at early ages (thanks to the govt.), you are going to shrink your tax base.
That's how real life works.
You give people motivation to work and they will. You take that away from them and give them motivation to NOT work...then that's what they will do.
Same thing is slowly happening to our country. And examples like Greece are what you end up with at the end of that tunnel.
