Greecing the wheels
Re: Greecing the wheels
Well I wanted you to know I was addressing that portion to you and since "animal" is not an epithet I would think you would respond to I corrected it. If you feel that you should be responding to "animal" I shall make note of it for future reference.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

If the Greeks wanted reparations for World War Two they should have made a demand for it years age; they waited too long. Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

True, but if you inherit your parents' house and other property, you must first satisfy their debts (or at least assume them as your own)before you can own it.

(one of which is to allow the top 1% to not pay taxes)
So, the "wealthy middle classes" in Greece comprise "1%" of the population?Tax evasion, endemic among Greece's wealthy middle classes
Or is there perhaps a more extensive cultural ethos related to not paying taxes that goes beyond the evil "1%" that might prove to be more useful for understanding the Greeks current predicament?

Re: Greecing the wheels
(absent exceptional circumstances)Generally no , it is settled then because the claim was not brought before the closing of the estate. If the same sort of thing happened after WW@ and all parties were put on notice that claims for reparations had to be filed by a certain date, I'd agree with. However, so far as I know, this was not the case.

Greece's finance minister says his country's financial situation is "terribly urgent" and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks.
Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche of Greece's €240bn EU/IMF bailout. Ministers said Greece had made "progress" but more work was needed. The Greek government is struggling to meet its payment obligations.
Earlier, Greece began the transfer of €750m (£544m, $834m) in debt interest to the International Monetary Fund - a day ahead of a payment deadline. "The liquidity issue is a terribly urgent issue. It's common knowledge, let's not beat around the bush," Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels. "From the perspective [of timing], we are talking about the next couple of weeks."
Greece has until the end of June to reach a reform deal with its international creditors. Its finances are running so low that it has had to ask public bodies for help.
Greek economy in numbers
Unemployment is at 25%, with youth unemployment almost 50% (corresponding eurozone averages: 11.4% and 23%)
Economy has shrunk by 25% since the start of the eurozone crisis
Country's debt is 175% of GDP
Borrowed €240bn (£188bn) from the EU, the ECB and the IMF
