Give them credit for creativity as well as greed.


 But, no.


You may have a right to property.  But when you invest your money, you assume all risks associated with that investment, including bankruptcy and any subsequent judgements- whether your investment is in Greece, bad real estate, or Eastman Kodak.

I wonder what those think who repeatedly have shed crocodile tears about investors' "productivity" as opposed to what they label an "entitlement" attitude of the less fortunate.
