Steve's barking; what's wrong with the E U?

What's wrong with the EU?
1. No common taxation.
2. No common language.
3. Undemocratic.
4. Too bureaucratic.
5. Rich States don't pay their fair share(?).
6. No common budget. ( each country in the E U has a budget that covers each state, why can't the E U have a common budget.


In the Untied States richer states pay more into the federal budget the poorer states.
This observation from some one who hasn't followed the E U very closely.
