Greece is going bankrupt because they are horribly corrupt and have endemic tax dodging to the tune of like 30 billion a year, are fairly agrarian, and lied to get in the Eurozone.

Pretty spot on article for anyone who has dealt with these dirty bastards on a regular basis.
Fuck the Greeks. God I hate them. Let their country fail and maybe their billionare ship owners can rescue their own country.
Anyway, judging every aspect of the EU from Greece is like judging the United states by looking at Alabama or West Virginia, every union has their retarded stepchildren.
