Not by raw amount of euros no. By % of GDP or per capita maybe.

Per capita yes, which is the only logical way to compare it.

The only logical way to compare is by amount of money.

No, because a Dutch citizen in the EU is paying a lot more into the system than a French citizen in that same EU.

If "per country" is the logical way to compare it, then the Dutch (and all other small countries) are severely lacking. If you compare it per capita, then the citizens of those countries I named are already carrying a ridiculously undue burden.
