Why, the rich of course -- they're thinking that if they have to endure pay or
benefit reductions, gosh golly, if they strike they can similarly reduce the
income of business owners and other "rich Greeks" and get them to feel the
sting as well.

It's based on the usual assumption that those running businesses are raking in
huge profits and could "easily" afford to pay their workers more or at least
not cut their pay when the economy goes sour, but (as the article mentions)
instead choose to take "the easy route" of cutting pay and benefits.

How often that's really true is anyone's guess, of course. Although logic
would indicate that it's a lot less true when the economy is in rotten shape
than when it's booming...

They just want what the rest of the EU has, wealth, with out working
hard for it.
Having the Germans bail them out, really burns them up.
