      The idea that Europeans willfully gathered into a union to support each other financially is antithetical to the article. The idea of the EU is that Europe gathers and helps pay for each other to have better safer lives.

      That not only implies that some nations’ citizens will pay for others that is the point of the EU in its entirety.

        Europe gathers and helps pay for each other

        The EU is first of all an economic union, not a social democratic union. The payment for the latter is just there to weaken the opposition to the former. It will become a political union, but people have to stay alert to make sure that lives will remain safe.
