Market Turbulence Looms as Greek Referendum Threatens Calm

Don't you understand that? The problem they have, like much of the rest of the world. They/we have too many over 60 people collecting fat pensions from the Gov. and not enough people paying into the system.

The problem Greece has is that those "parasitical Leeches" left long ago.

An Alabama marine construction company has agreed to pay $20 million to more than 200 guest workers from India who alleged they were kept in labor camps so squalid and crowded that one worker attempted suicide.

The settlement, announced Tuesday, resolves 11 lawsuits against Signal International filed in Alabama, Texas and Louisiana. The company has declared bankruptcy, so the settlement must be approved in bankruptcy court.

Signal International brought guest workers to Pascagoula, Miss., and other sites in 2006 and 2007 to repair oil rigs and other heavy machinery in the Gulf of Mexico that were damaged during Hurricane Katrina.

The men were trained in India as welders and pipe fitters, and came to the U.S. on promises that they would get green cards and permanent U.S. residency, according to the lawsuits filed by the workers, who put their families deep in debt to reach the U.S.

They received no green cards. Instead, the lawsuits alleged, they were confined to guarded camps, where 24 men were crammed into living spaces the size of a double-wide trailer.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which pursued the case on behalf of some of the workers, Signal International forced the men to pay $35 per day to live in the labor camp and sent security guards to detain workers who complained.

So explain to me why hard working Germans and Dutch should pay for Greeks to sit around
avoiding paying their own taxes? In effect the Germans and the Dutch members of the great
socialist brotherhood are paying the Greek socialists' taxes. Nice!

ATHENS — After anti-austerity protesters clashed with police nearby, Greece's parliament early Thursday accepted harsh terms demanded by creditors to receive nearly $100 billion in the country's third bailout in five years.
The measure passed overwhelmingly, 229-64, despite three dozen defections from Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' ruling Syriza party.
The vote — cast about two hours after the midnight Wednesday deadline — will allow Athens to receive a financial lifeline from its international creditors, but comes at a significant cost of higher taxes, deep cuts in pensions and other government benefits and the sale of most state assets.
After the approval, the European Central Bank agreed to increase the limit on emergency funding to Greece, supplying much-needed funds to the debt-strapped country.

Think about how much average income differs between the US & Greece
