For Many Greeks, Here's What Austerity Will Look Like

1. Taxes will increase by 2.32 billion euros this year and 3.38 billion, 152 million and 699 million in the three subsequent years. There will be higher property taxes and an increase in the value-added tax (VAT) from 19 percent to 23 percent.

2. Luxury levies will be introduced on yachts, pools and cars and there will be special levies on profitable firms, high-value properties and people with high incomes.

3. Excise taxes on fuel, cigarettes and alcohol will rise by one-third.

4. Public sector wages will be cut by 15 percent.

5. Defense spending will be cut by 200 million euros in 2012 and 333 million each year from 2013 to 2015.

6. Education spending will be cut by closing or merging 1,976 schools.

When you choose to live on less, that is "austerity." When the government forces you to live on less so the bankers can have more, that is "Poverty." It is also "Tyranny", "Fascism", and "Dictatorship."... And after Greece, the promoters of the Global Fascist Economic Dictatorship (aka The New World Order) are aimed right at the United States of America....They are aimed at you!.... And that is why We The People must stand with the people of Greece against the systematic impoverishment of all the people of Planet Earth in the name of some fanciful and impractical global hegemonic society.
