However many people understandably are tired of gov'ts like Greece and most countries globally being so reliant on debt for their expenses, ongoing borrowing and debt dependency creates ongoing instability.The vast majority of people's taxes in many nations including Greece, the US, Canada goes goes to interest payments on debt,   Paying taxes is an important part of living in a democracy, but people wish to see Govt's less debt dependent and more self-sufficient.

I think many and likely a majority would like to default and for Greece to going forward get it's economic house in order, live within it means.  As well with many Greek citizen's involvement/dedication strategically, smartly, create a well diversified with many channels of sustainable revenue creating a large growing tax base stable, growing self-sufficient economy.

A not vote, and defaulting provides Greece a chance to get it's economic house in order, and be no longer dependent on debt, and rather self-sufficiently be able to care for all it's citizens and other gov't responsibilities.   I have worked in banking as an analysts, now in the private sector.   Banks make credit easy as this is how they generate income.   I simply don't believe in encouraging people, countries ect.. to take on a high debt load, so I transferred my in demand skill set to an sector I love.

Vote no and be independent of debt, and the compounded interest payments, which consumer most of Greek taxes. Remember also to take great care of your health, as it is the truest of wealth, adding much happiness to a person's life.
