Because Germany had half its debts forgiven in 1953, and most people seem to be willfully pretending as if Germany is some fiscal master race when their economic success is due to favorable arrangements with creditors and heavy investment by the US and USSR for 50 years whereas everyone else in Europe only got investment from one of the two.

But sure, tax evasion is much worse than the 7 years of looting and slaughter Europe got when they asked Germany to pay her debts.

Edit1: why do fuckers keep downvoting any reminder that Germany has benefitted from debt forgiveness before?! And whereas Greece got in debt for corruption and tax evasion Germany got it by way of slaughter and theft

edit2: Instead of just downvoting why not give me a counterargument?

edit3: So I have to pretend like WW1 and WW2 didn't happen? You can call southern Europeans pigs in all international media to the applause and laughter of most of Europe and the world but it's distasteful if I bring up the amount of slaughter and theft Germany committed in Europe? Are we going to pretend like Hitler grabbed a rifle and conquered Europe all by himself? That there werent 100,000s of enthusiastic collaborators in the political and business elite? People who kept their stolen profits after the war and contributed to German economic growth?

Edit4: you hear that? Thats the sound of countless downvoters jizzing to pictures of Adolf.

Edit 5: here's some bedtime reading jerkoffs, the story of how Germany gets to avoid paying debts http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/feb/27/greece-spain-helped-germany-recover and http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawes_Plan go fuck yourselves. Keep on hating the South, see where it gets you.

Edit 6: hey look, you fucks, even a German newspaper agrees with me
