Default 'Horrible Citizens': The Life of Greece's One Percent

The Greek economy has been tanking for years now as the country struggles to balance its budget by imposing deep austerity measures. But the country's richest residents haven't noticed. Many aren't taxed at all, and some of those that are prefer to dodge their obligation to the state instead.

Seriously, it is really surprising that yet once more the spiegel decides to make such an uninteresting article, which offers absolutely nothing, while in the same time all around Europe, the world, people and press are shouting out loud today's real story.
I am very skeptical towards what Germans are led to without even knowing. And it is really a shame, as this nation has suffered so much prejudice over the recent years, because of the Nazis, that returning this to others should not be the case. Why? Why? Just simply why?
Shame that Spiegel in German is written with a capital S, as to my eyes it has lost its prestige and I do not need fancy words or argumentation to prove the case. After all, why do I knock on a deaf man's door? Well, maybe because I m thinking of the children's future..You know, the part where they have to learn to think. Not what to think.

Default Dont blame the rescuer.

At the moment everybody south of the Alps are angry at Angela Merkel and Germany but there are an efficient way of of balancing the books and at the same time get the anger redirected towards the culprits.
Make it a condition for further German help that the reciever countries do as in Norway. In Norway the amount of tax every individual pay is open to the public.
When those suffering know what the others pay they also know who to blame and what has to be changed!

Default Well done!

Well done! A much-appreciated article showing the German taxpayer where his money is going.
