The managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, has issued a statement on Facebook seeking to explain comments made in a newspaper interview. This response followed an online offensive from unhappy Greeks.
The International Monetary Fund's top official issued a lengthy statement on her Facebook site at the weekend, responding more than 10,000 angry and often explicit messages on her account.
n the interview published on Friday, Ms Lagarde said: "As far as Athens is concerned, I also think about all those people who are trying to escape tax all the time. All these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax.
"I think they should also help themselves collectively."
She added: "I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in Niger who get teaching two hours a day, sharing one chair for three of them, and who are very keen to get an education. I have them in my mind all the time.
"Because I think they need even more help than the people in Athens."
When asked if she was saying to the Greeks that it was now payback time, Ms Lagarde responded: "That's right."
"An important part of this effort is that everyone should carry their fair share of the burden, especially the most privileged and especially in terms of paying their taxes. That is the point I was emphasizing when I spoke to the Guardian newspaper as part of a broader interview some time ago," the statement concluded.

This devil woman puts their country into debt and she expects citizens to be happy? With all the commotion going on in the middle east it would not be a surprise if WW3 actually started in Greece and they hunted down these bankers.
God has stated that he has declared war on the money lender (banker). God hates bankers with a passion and final victory will be with the meek.

Yeah, I have been wondering if this all would have unfolded differently under Strauss-Kahn, since he was pretty clearly set up (and would likely be President of France, now!!)

"While you and that band of Corrupt E.U Minister's are living the high life 'which is been paid for by the Tax-payer' people are losing their homes / jobs and their way of life, why because people like you don't give a toss, as long as you and the corrupt bankers / e.u commissioners get what they want,"

My database has about 50+k online accounts of who was being used as the artillery for taking down Strauss and what institutions backed those online accounts. In short, it was a full blown social media war being waged against one person and his backers.
