Liberals? I think you don't understand why Greece has a problem.
Analysis: Source of Greek crisis? A nation in denial

But the underlying budget problems remain. Tax evasion is still rampant -- the labor minister has estimated a quarter of the economy pays nothing --
"Ninety-nine percent of the Greeks' problems are of their own making," said Randolph. "If everyone had been paying their taxes, we wouldn't have a budget deficit this high."
In the United States what is everyone begging for? Endless tax cuts, an overpriced military and free emergency room visits. Like Greece, they wonder why the deficit is so high.
Last year the military budget was a trillion and total tax revenue was $1.9 trillion. In 2014 the navy is getting delivery of stealth ships at a cost of $3 billion apiece. The F-22 raptor with the faulty oxygen system are $412 million each. None of that will be paid with a bake sale.
Mention taxes and watch an American squeal. But that is what Americans want. Something for nothing. Just like Greece.
