It is my position that every citizen in every country has a natural birthright; a birthright to demand a recompense for the consumption of the resources of the land in which they must live, and in which their children, and their children's children, must live. If we give away the reigns of our economy to those who would drain our resources for profit, without second thought for the consequences of such an action, then we are handing our children's futures away along with it.
We are giving away ownership of the material worth of generations to come, so that a select few can prosper. Restrictions are necessary in order to grant all the generations to come a world that isn't run in its entirety by a financial monarchy who have set themselves up in skyscraper penthouses; that monarchy, a small number of select mega-rich businessmen who hold enormous economic (thus political) power.
A few hundred years ago, such power was vested in popes and in Kings because the general populace granted them authority over the currency of faith. Now that currency is currency, and the popes and kings are the corporate CEO's.

Enroll in economics 101. Really. Not at a public school. A private conservative one. The former will inject philosophy. The latter will present the facts. You'll learn about fixed costs, taxation, utility, demand, resources, shifts, and a host of other elements of economics.
Capitalism, free markets, less government, Greece ain't got any of that to scale. EU is worse off than US. Always has been, always will be.
