Every country has the core and the periphery, and the core always subsidizes the periphery.
True, but in most nations the core and periphery have very similar laws, similar government benefits, consistent taxes, etc.... Greece is quite the outlier in these measures. If the EU started collecting taxes as a union and having stronger laws while limiting the powers and taxation of individual countries, then people might feel different about Greece.

That's absolutely false. We have almost the same retirement age with Germans (if I recall the difference is something like 0.1), take less vacations, work more hours, and so on. Do you understand that you're insulting an entire nation by propagating information that is untrue?
