Well things aren't exactly hoppin' right now for the Greeks......
Violence marred a day of strikes in Greece as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Athens to protest wage freezes and tax increases.
Riot police wielding shields and batons patrolled the demonstrations in Syndagma Square, and were attacked by protestors throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.
Many rioters carried red flags on wooden sticks, and used these to beat back at the police.
Tear gas was also used by police to subdue students who they say tried to storm the University building.
The strike was called by public and private unions across the country, and shut down public transportation, hospitals, schools, airports and government offices.
I will say this for the Greeks. They beat the US by about 10 years. They beat California by about 80 days.

This is the union mentality. Back in the day when "the man" was abusing the worker, unions made sense. This is different. Out of control unions have depleted public funds. If they don't take a pay cut the country and the Euro will go down in flames and their jobs will be useless. But that's all libs know howbto do. Get angry and strike. Face it people. There is no money. Has the world lost track of the concept of fiscal reality?
