They already got that. 4 years ago.
When it came time to hold their end of the bargain and make changes to stop spending more than they earn, like actually start paying taxes and stop retiring at 50 and stop collecting dead relatives pensions they rioted on the streets and spent the bailout money supporting their relaxed lifestyle instead. And here we are.
They keep electing politicians who promise them the most benefits and keep pumping billions from northern Europe to pay for it. They'll never learn their lesson unless you let them fail and maybe then they'll understand you need to pay taxes to enjoy the benefits of the services and benefits paid for by said taxes.
