Just 10 milliamps can kill you if it flows through your heart. Voltage determines how much current goes through you. A car battery has ~500 Amps available, that doesn't mean you'll die if you touch both posts, doubtful you'd even feel anything.
In the UK, the maximum current that can be drawn by a train is over 6000 A, when less than 1A can be fatal for human :(

Ahh yes, "Wszystkie rozumy pozjadal". Good luck in life with that close minded can't do anything attitude.
Let me break it down for you then:
Work regular job 7-3 four, sometimes five days a week for the measly $40/hr you frown upon so much. Get taxed through the nose for it.
Quote some projects on the side, invoice them legally. After marking up the materials you use which you get at a discount you can net 50-80/hr depending on how smooth the job was. Now you've made too much, taxman wants to gobble it all up, time to find some writeoffs:
- part of your house is used as an office: utils, taxes, mrtg interest are partially deducted
- need a vehicle to do this work (last year my vehicle writeoff was a Nissan Skyline ;) gas, insurance, maintenance
- tools which you would have to purchase for your dayjob anyway
There's more but I'm sure you get the idea. I'd really like to hear your ideas how you could export my job for $0.50 an hour too.
Minimal tax hit? Are u high? It doesn't matter who u work for u pay the same taxes on the same salaries in the US. If u misreport your earnings that is called fraud. U can get put in prison for decades by the IRS.

You seem to have the mindset that to make good money you have to work for someone RockyMason. It's all about having your own business either full time or on the side after hours. That's how we make 50, 60 sometimes even 70 an hour with a minimal tax hit.

You can transfer from one bank account to another. They don't support zloty over their web platform but they can do it over the phone for 1%, banks are 5-7. There are wire transfer fees ($20) though from/to European banks so it doesn't really pay off for small pidly amounts.

Do you speak Polish with an accent though? I know many people who stopped speaking Polish at a young age - even at home - and now they either cannot speak Polish any more or they speak it with a terrible accent. I'm not suggesting you have an accent, just wondering.

Just remember when importing a car to Poland make sure you have had it in your possession for over 6 months or you will pay 42% duty based on the car purchase price.
