I say yes they should. That's the purpose of a Union after all to help fellow members out that are not as fortunate as you are and to assist them in their hard times.

Yep, each EU country pays into a big pot, The latest figures show that over the ten-year period 1993-2002 inclusive, the UK paid over to EU Institutions... gross, cumulatively: £104 billion. In those same ten years the UK received back, cumulatively: £64 billion. The rest went to poorer countries.

The European system is based on the fact that some countries are exploited like colonies just like Germany and other countries get fed with that money they exploit from mother countries. So the EU is for Germany nothing but an immense system of extreme exploitation.

The way it works is that each country pays in a fee based on a formula involving its own GDP. That is transferred to a central fund that inevitably spends more on the poorer nations. This is all part of the plan to form a US of Europe and as with anything else, they like to keep it complicated to avoid people understanding too much about what is going on.
