It would be great to be able to blame the kinds of crisis that is now hitting the Eurozone on single individuals. All you would then have to do is yank George Soros out of his private jet or penthouse and put him in solitary confinement under heavy guard. The crisis would then be over and the world could begin to mend. Unfortunately its not like that. George Soros may be a little more to blame than the rest of us, but not much. We are all to blame. Like the Greeks, we expect an awful lot of our governments. Being run by politicians who want to get re-elected, governments tend to give us what we expect. And of course there are things they've committed to do, on our behalf they say, like fight in Afghanistan. To do all of the things we want them to do or they can pretend we want them to do governments must either tax us heavily or borrow heavily. Since taxing us heavily is enormously unpopular their only option is to borrow heavily, so that is what they do. So let's not blame George Soros. Let's blame ourselves and stop expecting governments to do everything for us.
Ed P.S.: One factor contributing to rising government costs is aging populations. As we age we stop working and need more care. I'm aging. One of these days I'm going to quit doing it and help my government out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christoph Reuss" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 8:39 AM Subject: Re: [Futurework] FW: The European Union's Dangerous Game >> The European Union's Dangerous Game > > The title should be: > Soros' Dangerous Game > > "The man who broke the bank of England" is now out to break the ECB. > Leading a whole pack of speculator wolves, he's tearing the Euro apart. > Already convicted for insider trading in France, he should be jailed > for life, like Bernie Madoff, for stealing billions and even ruining > whole economies -- which Madoff didn't. > > Prosecute the large Predators before they throw Europe into war -- again. > > Chris > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the > keyword > "igve". > > > _______________________________________________ > Futurework mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework > _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
