Bah! To me they seem like spoiled children who got paid beyond their means for years and now the bill is finally due. It was the Greek protesters who voted in government after corrupt government and didn't mind while they were getting paid. Now the consequences of their actions have come and they refuse to accept them.

Kick them out of the EU and let them go bankrupt, I say! I'm also most displeased American money (via the IMF) is helping them out.

That is, the poor in the West will have to pay the rich in the West, because the rich in Greece will not pay taxes like the poor in Greece must.
From the article linked it seems like avoiding the taxman is a sport every class engages in.
