[QUOTE="profitius, post: 672363, member: 41524"] That's the mythical way of looking at it. In reality the EU wants more and more nations to join so it can have a bigger population of slaves. Economics is like war with countries competing against each other. Its the rat race. The bigger a government gets the more people it has power over. Yes the EU invested in Ireland but there has also been costs like Ireland's fishing industry opened up to all EU states which could be costing billions per year. I bet you dont hear much about that. Money always flows to the top so you have wealthy people in a position to become wealthier. Likewise wealthy countries keep sucking up wealth. Germany for example exports 3 times more products than it imports. The Germans ate nationalistic shoppers and buy German goods. Someone has to be buying all their exports and its mainly all the EU countries. The Germans might then give a small percentage back as an EU subsidy to help other countries keep going while those countries spend their money on German products. Just the other day in the news was German exports have reached an all time high. So once again a powerful country due to population size has used its position to suck the life out of other countries. That's how the economic system is set up. It should be about balance but is not. For another example look at the wealthy soccer clubs in Europe. They're getting richer and richer and fewer others are able to compete. The trend will continue! Most of Europe is struggling. We know about the southern countries and Ireland but Sweden is in a very bad state and no doubt others are too. The USA is in critical condition and the UK and France not much better off. The rat race is getting harder and harder. And why is this? Well its because essentially all the wealth has flowed into the hands of a small percentage of people. Wealth doesn't just disappear. So where does this leave Scotland. The Norway model is the way to go. Vote for independance and stay out of the EU [/QUOTE]
