A European Union Everyone Wants to Enter

How wonderful it is to live within the European Union; and it's free, right? How much does it cost us to remain within the EU?

When we talk about the European Union, many countries dream of joining a common market, guaranteeing the freedom to live, work, and study in any member country. This offers any business access to a robust market and unified human rights laws.

It seems like a beautiful paradise if we talk about all the benefits or the benefits that the media show us, but there are many other things that Europe doesn't show to many of us, and how everything is controlled by the economy.

Many countries inside the Union that have already been here for many years start thinking about whether it is really a good thing for their own country to be here?

The exit of the UK with Brexit marks the beginning of something that seemed impossible for all member countries, and we see that, despite everything, England is succeeding, with many difficulties, but their system is still reacting.

There is a population that feels that something in this is not really regular, and the politicians are using this feeling to feed nationalist ideas, because we are always ready to find the guilty who is creating all the instability. It will always be someone who cannot defend himself. When I was at university, I remember one of my professors for my master’s degree said that manipulation could be good and bad depending on what we are doing through it. In this case, I'm sure that most of the manipulation used by politicians is looking to give a speech that will make them have votes. That makes us come back to the start of this article. When we start thinking about the feeling that we are living in some kind of bubble inside the Union, it is like someone is always telling us that we have everything because we live in a system that really works, but also we see many countries, like Italy and Greece living in a state of long austerity, having a lot of debts and no making changes that really improve to the everyday life in Europe and not about everything we see, it is normal that we are more vulnerable to be part or only believe that is the easy part: that the problem in the economy is not because of the banks and credit they create to control, but is the problem of the immigration or someone in particular. And why are countries like the UK living without Europe, maybe because they have banks?

Everything matters if we talk about money and the British economists know this concept.

Maybe they even know that the population is ready to vote for the exit of the EU, but as history tells us about the economy, for some people that really know how to use it, the crisis is a big opportunity to create more money.

When I started writing this article in my mind there was one point that I would like to write about, and it was about the costs that have to pay for each country to be inside the union and be part of this wonderful paradise. And if we look more about the money, we see that, for part of it, the price is really high and, of course, if you don't have the money, the European bank can loan it to the country to help it. Of course, buying airports and companies in the country, taxing the GPD and growing it, making the people pay for it.

I hope my dear reader will be interested in seeing, by country, how much it costs to be part of the European Union. Is it really a luxury to have all these benefits of being part of the European Union, or do we simply pay for everything we're granted? What is the true price of each benefit that allows us to be part of the union?

Is it all for us mere mortals or for those at the top? In our wonderful paradise, tax rates are constantly rising, and it seems they're not growing any faster than salaries. It seems we're living in an increasingly divided Europe, with our northern cousins holding the promised land while our southern cousins suffer under an austerity regime that has so thrived here that it's decided to make it its permanent residence.
