    Isn't Brazil one of the fastest-growing economies in the world?

    Well, that is true, but what I mean is that they have the same kind of political culture: good times, no serious stuff. The man who says, "don't worry, it's kay" gets elected. However, Brazil is less the Greece, and is doing much better because of it.

    One of the biggest problems with Greece is that too many people think paying tax is optional (just like Italy)

    Just that well i've watched them and when i ask Brazilians about there country thats usually what i get. My philosophy teacher praised the Brazilians and said that he hoped that Brazil becomes the next super power because of how awesome they are.

    The problem with not helping people in Greece is that of Cuba. If you don't help them they immigrate along with
    all of their luggage {here in hialeah refuasal to speak english, pay taxes, crime, and cultural fights} which could
    cause instability and a rift between people.

    Greece has tons of problems, it would be foolish to blame everything on one problem.

    Well, I'm just saying that a major cause is the political culture. I man, when they were told "You Guys are in serious debt, and destroying the EU and the global economy" they were like NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

    I remember hearing that from a friend, since someone else heard it, it has to be based in at least an iota of truth.
    Yeah, paying taxes is a good start.

    Fun fact: there are more Porsche Cayennes (65.000 Euro) owned by Greeks then there are Greeks with a total taxable income of 50.000 Euro.
    In Larissa, capital of the region Thessaliƫ, there are more citizens with a Porsche Cayennes then there are in London or New York.
    Only +/- 163.000 people live in Larissa.
