Black, Shiny Shoes

Black, Shiny Shoes. The EU dictatorship has crushed Hellas Germany and the banks won- The French to their helped the Greeks writing a new tax system and for once the tycoons have to pay tax as well and for the Hellenic people they need not buy new shoes every fortnight, let the cobblers mend your shoes. I remember a time when buying shoes was a major investment, they were always black and bought on credit book. You may call it thrift I will call it poverty when you are poor everything cost more as the Greeks soon will soon notice. And in case you wonder the money the loans go straight to the lenders banks and one wonder who many times they have to pay for the airport in Athens a German steel company built? The Greeks are hard working people, with bad elite, the next one to will be Portugal, Italy too are feeling the clammy hand of capitalism and then it will be France`s turn to taste rigour. What about EU then?
