The "poor" are exactly those middle class folks you mention; people like you and Krish. They are the ones who pay the most taxes and had to bail out the rich cunts like Goldman Sachs. The spirit of capitalism indeed.

Okay man...thanks for that clarification...but how many of those people do you see camping in Occupy Wall Street?
The tax payers will be repaid with interest. So far you should see how well the government made out. And do remember it is the government that legislated that loans can be extended for more than the price of the house. You do remember that, no? So the government is complicit.

The Greek people realize (as should you) that all this government debt is actually a form of slavery! Government debt is redeemable only through forcing their populations to work

Work should not be viewed as slavery because such a view is why chattel slavery exists.
It's that very attitude toward work that slavery is born from.
Life itself is based on work. All of the insects work, the birds and animals work, the Gods themselves have jobs to do. The Sun shining on Earth is a job that that Star has to do and the Heaven we're suspended in has the job of producing gravity and the holding of this planet in suspension. So life cannot exist without work. The common human attitude against work is the very substance that creates forced slavery in human relations and societies.
I do not think people are like slaves as like people of ancient times, who did not have much freedom. Many people can own a car, live in a house and have food they want and live together with family and enjoy life. Changes do need to to made, and more better communication is needed and people should not violently rebel against government as that will lead to riots and unrest in the country.
