Ultimately the way for Greece to get investors in the future is to be a productive growing economy. While Greece's existing creditors may be "pissed off" for a while, they aren't the only people in the business. Smart investors won't care so much about the past that they'd miss out on a good investment.

Greece should leave the EU, and the debt should be forgiven. It should have never joined and will be much better off outside, like Switzerland (a structurally similar economy).

The idea that Greeks have a "culture of tax evasion" is simplistic. A lot of this has to do with the government's cozy relationship with Greek oligarchs. You are less inclined to pay taxes if they are perceived as propping up a corrupt government.

For all its flaws, Syriza doesn't seem to be as corrupt. I also don't see it as the "far-left" ideologically socialist party it's often portrayed as. They seem to be people that will learn fast where and when government should intervene productively.

As a german, just letting billions of € go while our infrastructure and social system could need more money, this just doesn't feel right.

If we would be the united states of europe this would be a different story, but currently it seems that greece just tries to leech as much money as possible while openly offending us. And by the way, there are poorer states than greece that will pay it's share of the bill in the eu. Am I wrong?
