    Why is she now wavering - she simply said the truth. The Greek population is champion when it comes to tax evasion. But they like that the German's pay their taxes.

    President Obama has asked the super wealthy to pay 4% more in taxes. This years spending on military wil be about 800 billion, another record, plus the trillions borrowed and spent under W. Bush.

    The top 2% (wealthy criminal class) demand another tax cut in US to support Conservatives.

    The Greek people don't have to listen to what Lagarde says. They can simply stop taking EU and IMF money.

    Rip the bandage already.
