Bill Gates could pay this "Debt" off himself and still have a cool $54 Billion left, he might have to Slum it for a little while, but I'm sure it would be character building.

The Cypriots are labrats. EU is looking to firm its grip on our country's. Looking for ways we can become bigger slaves then we are today. They want us to owe them.
EU started out as a way to ease up the trade between country's. No country was ever told when signing this agreement that it would have to sell its cultural inheritance and sovereignty.
Stop buying into this propaganda will ya.

Those "worlds richest list" are not entirely factual, they are mostly based on public income records, since the companies these super rich people own are so huge all the data is usually in the public domain. But what none of these lists take into account is the huge sums of money stashed in offshore bank accounts, or the masses of wealth which have been passed down through certain family lines for generations and tend to get forgotten in the river of time. There are people much richer than Bill Gates in reality.

Good Call. The Rockefeller fortune is unknown but could be Hundreds of Billions.
John D. Rockefeller is the richest American who ever lived. At the time of his death in 1937, Rockefeller was worth the equivalent of $340 billion in today's dollars. Lin k
These are the very same Banking Families that want to raid Cyprus of the very little they have left. It's disgusting

Why do people enjoy bashing Bill Gates?
He has donated over 28 billion to charities. He has contributed near half his net worth to charities. People are such hypocrites. There are many here who I doubt have even spent an afternoon in a soup kitchen, or using their own skills to help a cause. And yet they have the gall to call out Bill Gates.
Typical attitude tho.. bash the successful guy, no matter what he has accomplished.

As a lovely, elderly Cypriot lady said on the news yesterday, this is Germany waging another war.
World War 3 has started and it's a financial war.
The Cypriots, Greeks, Italians, Spanish and many others are being forced from their homes, selling their possessions, losing their jobs and eating from rubbish bins and food banks because of a corrupt few and because of Germany.

It is just one big fat hoax. The banks are untouchable, the politicians get their portion, the rich have nothing to worry about but the working men - they pay their bills and the bills of Portugal and Spain etc. The euro system is designed so that it may crash. That is crystal clear, but why?
Does anyone know why they deliberately made a system so it can crash in 15 years time?
edit to add....all of the smaller economies like Cyprus and Iceland and Spain etc, they were all doing fine on their own and with their own currency. Only when they were made to play with the big boys did the problems start.

That's what is known as usufruct. I would suggest to everyone to take their money out while they can, What country will be next?
Usufruct
BERLIN - Cypriot officials are scrambling to find alternative money to put on the table for a €10 billion bailout by the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In a sign of the drastic situation on the island, the Cypriot parliament is due to vote on capital controls on Thursday (21 March) to prevent people from taking all their deposits out of banks when they re-open next week.

Usufruct
this is the very reason why the banks won't open ....the banks will remain closed to avoid a panic scenario doing more harm than good
the EU will NOT allow any EU country to fail they will get their bailout regardless
