I don't know how well the greek economy was doing from 2000 to 2009, but since then it has shrunk by 5 to 7% a year since then. It is incredibly weak there. And who is lying then? As, we always here of spending cuts and austerity on the news and I mean ALWAYS. If spending cuts are not happening, then it should not be said so much in the media! Capitalism is flawed like this, as we seem to believe that growth in wealth is infinite, which it is not. Economies peak and decline, after major growth. Economic growth in Europe has for now peaked and is declining like it did in the 1970's. Greed is not good, it may aspire people, but it can just as easily corrupt them and be complete bastards to get there, destroying society in the end. If money was not so corrupting, then it would be ok. I mean people fight over it, over something that does not make you any happier. To answer your question, money is the power to purchase goods and services. You have more power, the wealthier you are. And what I mean By money is the root of all evil? Well, arguably the already rich do whatever to become richer, without a care in the world. And by that, in the USA for example they bribe and corrupt the system (especially when republicans have power) in order to get tax cuts, which illegitimately gives them more power. As, the so called representatives do what the billionaire says, and lets an ordinary person go without and let whole towns go bankcrupt. That's the reality of the US political system now. Finally, yeah i'll watch those videos and see |
Have you been watching some kind of propaganda videos? What you are saying actually doesn't compute in the real world. First of all, the extremely rich are often some of the most generous people in the world. Look at Bill Gates and how much he gives to charity, are you saying he doesn't care at all about people less fortunate then himself?
One of the biggest problems I have with your little speal here is the especially republicans part. You don't think Democrats are guilty as well? Who do you think benefits when democrats are in power? Unions, clean energy, infrastructure jobs, etc. Who do you think donates and funds most democratic efforts? Now look at the democrats records, are you saying these people aren't getting paid off? Seriously? Do me a favor, and do a google search for solyndra please.
I think it is time to get off the propagand bus buddy.
