Although tax "dumping" is infuriating, it's not the major problem within the EU (look at Delaware tax code vs the rest of the states, and USA is doing fine economically speaking).

The real issue for the EU is the lack of financial and political solidarity. You can bankrupt a EU country and expect the others to pick up the tab, even if there nothing written down in the EU constitution saying so. The Syrian migration issue is a glaring example of a lack of political collaboration.

EU countries needs to acknowledge the fact they are actually tightly bounded to the union and make changes in the way the EU works to reflect that situation.

...and those are only recent issues. Ghosts of WW2 are still alive and doing better thanks to the extreme far right and Russian trolls.
