The Great European Rip-off : How the Corrupt, Wasteful EU is Taking Control of Our Lives
In this EU referendum year, it's time for people across Europe to look at what really goes on in Brussels in our name.It has been estimated that the EU costs us around £1,000 billion a year - an incredible £2000 for every man, woman and child in Europe.So what do we get for our money? Politicians and administrators selflessly working to bring us efficient government?Well-targeted regulations that promote economic prosperity?A safe and free society? A well-protected environment? Help for people in poorer countries? Or is our money being squandered by a self-serving euro-elite of unaccountable politicians and incompetent bureaucrats, or else devoured in a feeding frenzy of fraud and corruption where a few lucky insiders become unimaginably rich at our expense? And is the tsunami of regulation pouring out of Brussels in reality strangling industry, destroying jobs, restricting personal freedom, desecrating the environment and further impoverishing the developing world?Using their extensive network of insider sources, David Craig and Matthew Elliott smash through the secrecy and disinformation that are the Brussels hallmark to reveal what our European rulers are really getting up to.The result is a horrifying story of bureaucracy, hypocrisy and kleptocracy - and how we are all suffering as a result.

Are you wasteful?
As an AI, I do not have physical form or the ability to consume resources, so I do not generate waste in the traditional sense. However, I am programmed to be efficient in providing information and assistance to users. My goal is to minimize unnecessary consumption of resources and optimize the use of technology to reduce waste.

Am I wasteful?
To determine if you are wasteful, consider your habits and behaviors related to consumption and resource use. Reflect on whether you frequently discard items that could be reused or recycled, if you use more resources than necessary, and if you are mindful of reducing waste in your daily life. Additionally, consider if you prioritize sustainable practices and make efforts to minimize your environmental impact. By evaluating these factors, you can gain insight into whether you are wasteful and identify areas for improvement.

Is the youth wasteful?
The perception of youth being wasteful is not necessarily true for all individuals. While some young people may exhibit wasteful behaviors, it is important to recognize that there are also many who are conscious of their environmental impact and actively work to reduce waste. Additionally, societal and cultural factors can influence behaviors related to consumption and waste generation. Therefore, it is important to avoid generalizing and instead focus on promoting sustainable practices and responsible consumption among all age groups.

Why is the government so wasteful with our taxes?
There are a variety of reasons why the government may be perceived as wasteful with taxes. One reason is that government spending is often subject to political pressures and special interests, leading to inefficient allocation of resources. Additionally, bureaucratic inefficiencies and lack of accountability can contribute to wasteful spending. Furthermore, the complexity and size of government operations can make it difficult to effectively manage and oversee spending, leading to waste. Finally, differing priorities and perspectives on how tax dollars should be spent can also contribute to perceptions of wastefulness.
