I don't mind my country the Netherlands being a net contributer of the EU. I do mind countries like Italy going over budget so we've print money for them and driving down the value of the Euro. Especially when they pay lower taxes.

Let's give America back to Britain. Mexico back to Spain and Brazil to Portugal. Spain is gonna have the biggest empire in the world. They're 26 languages in Russia with different regions, it's gonna be a mess dividing up those territories. Including Ukrainian btw.

@Daniel-gc9ws How is that? In my recollection this started by Ukraine wanted to be in the EU. The uprising was called the Euromaidan. It's in the word. No European would ever work in the industry of the USA by the way. The work agreements are awful. Do they even get full healthcare benefits? Aren't they striking too right now because of the awful pay and working rights? You do realize my country has ASML. It's the only country in the world that makes the most advanced chip technology. If we give that to China the whole US economy would be crashing down. Be nice!

@lilestower I'm not against these kind of subsidies, but some power about what happens to the grain would be nice. I do agree about the debt to gdp. We should be able to economically quarantaine a country like Italy too. A minimum income tax rate would also be welcome. In the Netherlands it starts at 37%, in Italy at 23%. It's just crazy unequal and we are giving free loans to Italy because they can't get their finances in order. Italy has also universal healthcare and my country has not. Education is also much cheaper in Italy.

@markonikolic7957 Germany doesn't have universal healthcare either. Short answer.. Capitalism. We do have mandatory healthcare. You've to have a healthcare insurance. It's not as bad as it sounds, you do get healthcare social benefits under a certain amount. I think it's under 22000 euro's you'll get it. It's not the full amount though. You can choose your own insurance policy unlike the US and prices for medicines are highly regulated. Government spending on healthcare is the lowest of all of the western countries though. In the US is the highest in comparison. Per capita it's also the lowest. Choosing your own policy every year is kinda great cause you can fit your needs to your healthcare. Still high tax though. Mostly used for infrastructure probably. And we've the deltaworks to maintain to not let our country dissapear in the sea. Our whole west coast would be underwater. Amsterdam would be gone completely.
