Why Greeks are poor

[Falka]

They're poor because they're stupid.

A majority of Europeans (53.3%) does not use a
computer. This is especially the case in Greece
(75.3%) and Portugal (74.7%).

the proportion of Internet usage is the lowest in Portugal
and Greece (14.8% and 15.1% respectively).

54.3% of Greece citizens state not to have read any
book in the last 12 months.

about 20% of Europeans
do not read magazines. It is again in Greece
(46.3%) and in Portugal (36.7%) that we find
a higher proportion of people who do not
read magazines.

Almost one European in two (46%) reads the
newspaper 5 to 7 times a week. The lowest rates are to be found in
Greece, Spain and Portugal (20.3%, 24.8%
and 25.1% respectively). It is also in these
three countries that the proportion of people
saying they never read a newspaper is higher
than in the other countries (30.5%, 23.4%
and 25.5% respectively).

When Greeks had culture, the polaks were eating their shit while hunging upon trees, brah.

Nah, I`m joking.

We are poor because we are tax evading cunts

seems a bit counter-intuitive dont you think? 

how the fuck does it make them stupid if they cant afford the newspaper and computer that would give them this "intelligence", therefore making them stupid for not spending the money on something they cant afford.  Id rather have food on the table then read about the 1st world plights of Bruce Jenner, or how to craft a valentines gift out of shoe string and pocket lint.

Not knowing actual causes, but,

I thought Greeks didn't work past 55 and shit like that.

biggest lie ever, the only ones who get an early retiremen here in Greece, are the ones who serve on the military and ONLY the ones who are at the special forces.

Other than that the retirement ages are 67 for men and 65 for women.


Besides, various researches have shown that Greeks are the most working people of the EU.

Editing to make more clear my above sentence :

 In the private sector the majority of Greeks work very hard and often very long hours and for little pay, of course there are those that will sling the lead if they can just as in any society, but they are the minority; however, in the public people seem to work less hard, for fewer hours and for much more money.

AH, So that is where my statement came from. The Government workers overpaid and under worked. Sounds typical of most Western Countries. Government jobs are cushy, easy and worth lots of benefits.
