“The president of Cyprus assured voters that he would never, ever tax their bank accounts. Now he says the government must do this. Any voter who heard this assurance should have gone to his bank immediately and withdrawn half of his money. Then he should have sent another 40% to a German bank. The other 10% he might have left in his bank to meet existing expenses. Anyone who left all of his money in the bank was a fool. He trusted the head of the country.”
