They've also tried to influence our judgement by putting word out that voting No is a waste of vote because it can't be turned around anyways. So if that's the case, then why this voting suddenly? Cause they made a HUGE mistake in excluding the people in this decision, and so now they're trying to politically cover their asses so that we won't be able to say that the people didn't have a say in things anymore.

The biggest problem with this thing as I see it is that since we used to be a country that did extremely well, we're now the ones who have to be sharing. Theoratically that sounds nice and cool, but when you take a look at what happens inside the machine, you see that every single civilian will have to pay for it. Prices moving up, and a frozen salary for each of us. But the suits who arranged this little thing have salaries up in the millions, so they won't even notice. But the hard working man with families and such aren't able to give up any more of their money. Just look at how many normal families are draped in dept, which will take years to pay off, some won't even be able to pay them off at all anymore. These are normal standard families who were used to be able to go on a vacation once a year. Now they can't do that anymore without doing another loan somewhere. Result is that companies don't get money from these people anymore since they don't have it, and that's bad for our economy also.

While I was watching TV a couple of months back this suit comes on and says "Something's wrong, people aren't spending their money anymore. They're saving it up for some reason." What the hell? Open your eyes man, people don't HAVE any money left! The house, the car, food in the supermarket, clothes, electricity, baby clothes for those with children, schools and studies, EVERYTHING is so damn expensive these days, that in order to still be able to build an existence, at least both parents HAVE to have a job, else they just won't be able to have any kids anymore. And that, that I find very sad. And just as sad, the statistics regarding the number of homes having depts everywhere. It's just plain scary.

So while we give our hard earned money away for the less fortunate countries joining the EU, in 10 to 20 years, since we're such a small country, we ARE among those less fortunate countries, and we'll be completely dependable on Germany and France and those pinheads.

But the suits and ties of our country will still have their oh so important political careers and their 4 times a year 10 week excursions of pleasure to the Carribean.

So yeah as far as EU and this country goes, I say exit right now before it's too late for us, heh. Hell it already is. Our society is already based on a 2-way income, and even those families are starting to get in trouble now.

VERY well said! Couldnt agree more.
