The people of Greece seem determined they will not pay for the orgy of corruption and double-dealing that has left their economy in tatters. Whether it was Goldman Sachs playing funny with derivatives to help the Greek government to hide its debt, or German companies rushing to buy up newly privatized industries, or the wide-spread corruption of Greek politicians, they are saying something that American workers and middle class might be thinking, and that has some people afraid: "’let the plutocracy pay’…’Why should we, the little man, pay for this crisis?’"
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
