Like many office holders, I'd gather he meant that the persons working were making money for such efforts as they are expending in their jobs. :)
I need to check again, but I think funding is, like representation, on a proportional basis similar to NATO's that is agreed via a negotiated agreement and adjusted every few years based either on population or GDP or both.
Ah here it is, how they make money.
"the Decision of 21 April 1970 replaced national contributions by a system of own resources comprising agricultural levies, customs duties and a budget-balancing resource calculated by applying a rate of 1% - subsequently raised to 1.4% in 1985 - to the VAT base."
Without a tax base, there can be no government at work. :)
