Austerity works by slashing government programs so private interests can point to failing government programs and go 'look how lovely this is, let us privatize instead and also de-regulate' and then rich people get richer. Also lower taxes for them is a happy bonus.

Once again, you have to go back and explain what your definition of "work" is. In Greece you would be hard pressed to say it could work on any level, but how is austerity working for Germany?

Germany doesn't have austerity programs; they have a strong social safety net and semi-private health insurance that provides a minimum of coverage with a sliding payment scale depending on income.
