Look at this picture. This is the end result of the Welfare State. When the gravy train stops because there is no more "other people's money," the dependent class riots. They feel so entitled to a handout that they resort to violence to keep it. And anyone who refuses to pay for the handout is a "Nazi" or "greedy" or "selfish."

Then look at a picture of Detriot. That also is the end result of the Welfare State. Everyone sits around expecting someone else to take care of things and an entire city -- an entire metropolitan area -- reverts to a state of nature. The productive people leave and the buildings fall into disrepair. Entire sections of a city that once had one million people are grown over and revert to nature.

And yet people are so addicted to the heroin of government spending that they can't get off this path.

Bingo! You nailed it perfectly.

Entire sections of a city that once had one million people are grown over and revert to nature.

Detroit's population was at the 2 million mark in the late 50's, early 60's. It currently stands at approximately 750K. A tribute to the welfare state, racial politics and political correctness.

Multiply that entitlement mentality by 1000 fold here and you’ll see how bad it can/will get.
You’ve got the entitlement mentality multiplied by generations of “they owe you because of slavery/racism”.

In Greece, government employees are 14% of the total labor force, with most government employees working for the central government rather than local government. Women account for 59% of government employees, versus 41% in the private sector. 39% of government employees are 50 or older, versus 23% in the private sector. Only 5.5% of government revenues are spent on education, versus OECD (First World) average of 12.9%

I'm going to guess that a large percentage of rioters are young guys still living with their government-employee parents, and dependent upon their salaries and pensions continuing.

This is the end result of the Welfare State.

I thought it was ironic that they'd favorably compare someone who stood up to the Nazis (National Socialists), to a bunch of hoodlums rioting because they want more free stuff from the Socialists currently in power.

Whatta difference 2 or 3 generations makes.

Obama, Peloser and Reid hate it when you are right.

The parasite class attempts to kill the host because there is no more blood to suck.

Welfare state?

Most of these people rioting are former or current government employees, who are being cut off.

Did ya know 1 in 3 Greeks are/were employed by the government.

The U.S. is going the same route.
