No he isn't. He's poor. He's not in abject poverty, but he's poor.

Foreign policy has nothing to do with it, but it is Pres. Obama who is set to turn that money and those lives into a waste, not Bush

What? You think money cannot be wasted in foreign policy? Both Obama and Bush have needlessly wasted lives and money with respect to US foreign policy and both are rich. But let's take foreign policy out of it, there are many, many instances of rich people wasting their own money. So no matter how you look at it, you are wrong.

No, they did nothing illegal. It's not illegal when a sovereign nation does it to another sovereign nation. Greece's foreign policy is Greece's alone.

Goldman Sachs and all the other "too big to fail" banks engaged in all kinds of illegal practices with respect to loaning money. WRT to Greece, I really don't want to hear all that whining when the big banks knew full well of the corruption that was in Greece and yet they gave them the money anyway. Again, if you can't bear the consequences of making a bad loan, don't make it in the first place.

All people and corporations have an fiduciary obligation to arrange their affairs so as to minimize their tax burden and maximize their own resources. It is purile to equate that to selfishness or greed.

What I am saying is that corporations have a tendency to do things that are illegal so as to shield themselves from the transparency that they are obligated to with regards to taxes. Do I have to list instances of it?
