Right, now I've got the tit-for-tat insult out of the way, I'll point out I'm not an 'austerian'. Keynes and FDR were not in favour of some of the rich evading the taxes they are legally meant to pay; your argument is a laughable strawman. I haven't said anything about raising Greek taxes more; just collecting the ones they're meant to get, by law.

Are you now calling yourself a Keynesian, by the way? I thought you regarded Keynesians (eg Krugman) as 'part of the problem' - MMT was your bag. Or are you just saying you're not a Democrat?
