I live in Netherlands from the United States 5 years ago. My computer goes on France server so excuse me. Anyways The Untied States economy is floundering and Canada and Australia still hang on to the UK so I think we should join. I hear some people.... particular on Yahoo Answers say it is floundering. What a joke! If you live hear it is the biggest economy of the world! If we get 3 super powers the economy gets way better. I hear it would be socialistic. No it would not. The United States can still run it how they did for hundreds of year but with a euro. My point is if people joins it is balanced out. Employment will rise because people in America can immigrate wherever they want! come on people think about it or do some research and find out about this system. If people want a better world you would support EU membership.
