Icesave repay deal

I hope the current President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson of Iceland will NOT sign the proposal from the Icelandic parliament. I think it's immoral to put a burdon of €12.000,- on each citizen of Iceland who had nothing to do with the demise of several of their banks. Young people, needed for the country wil emigrate with the consequence that no money will be able to be repaid anyway. It would be a good wake-up call for capitalist run countries to recognize what a rotten system it actually is. So, don't sign and forget about the EU-membership. You can manage on your own, Island!

I think it is our money. From the Netherlands. So, there must be a pay back!

Even in the first world?

Seems like the world is used to similar events in the third-world, this should be a wake-up call, economic assassination can happen to you too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuffedanimalbrigade (talk • contribs) 16:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
