of course I understand - I also understand the mechanism by which PiS aims to lessen the burden of the social spending - and I understand why Trzaskowski said: 'Nic co zostało dane, nie zostanie zabrane' (Nothing that was given will be taken away (as for the social spending under PiS) - I just don't find the prospect of PO, PSL or SLD getting power back appealing - imagine big social spending and a renewed VAT fraud, fuel smuggling and a monopoly on media

so yeah - this whole current action is purely political and the argument that PiS wants to shut down hostile media is manipulative - but I guess Paulina would not understand

thank the EU CO2 quotas for that - and the PO government who agreed on the new system of counting the quotas or some such (basically Poland first agreed to be eligible to pay excessive CO2 starting from 1990 or 1989 and Tusk agreed to change that to the detriment of Poland (and to give him a boost to his career in Europe)

they can happily add this new tax to the prices of their add time/space which will doublethe positively effect on the budget - the whole action is simply political (and anti-PiS)

you noticed that she is not a PiS basher if you ask me - your bias prevents you from seeing that she is trying to find truth as is Polsat news branch under her leadership - what is more there a journalists there who were very anti-PiS in the past and somehow Gawryluk haven't fired them so far

- the gap in all taxes combined was estimated by PiS in 2015 to be in the measure of 60-70 billion - what this article you 'linked' stated was manipulation - VAT fraud has been eliminated (also the contrabanda of fuels from the west by fuel mafias)- VAT evasion is much harder to fight as is income tax evasion


I heard something about Solorz held by the throat because he invested in energy sector and PiS blatantly blackmailed him - Solorz is not a PiS ally which is now to be seen - if Polsat became openly pro-Pis it would loose a lot of viewers so he chose Dorota Gawryluk as the head of news who tries really hard to be objective (which I admire her for)


that's also a manipulation - the global state debt rose by about 82 billion - Poland's debt also includes the debts of municipal authorities of which PiS had little pow

in 2018 the state debt rose by a mere 10 billion and in 2019 13 billion - I'm not sure but as far as I can remember the number were lowest in the history of democratic Poland


all of the European economies shrunk in 2020 - Poland was among the least hit actually


Poland's deficit counted in tens of billions during PO/PSL without any significant social spending because of VAT fraud, VAT gap, fuel smuggling and income tax gap - they did little to avert it - my belief is they were not really willing to because of being chums whith the beneficiaries of those gaps

22 billion (*but I safely even a bit more) bet more went into the official economy - you don't think it created jobs? - you don't think it created a snowball effect


you are right now contradicting the narration of the total opposition and other critics of the goverment who said that foreing investment in Poland slowed down significantly when PiS came to power (because it is seen as unstable) - so who of you is right?

go back to the states then - what's all that fuss

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]


you are arguing with a point I haven't made - I haven't said all of the VAT growth was directly thanks to curbing the VAT fraud


the economic boom we had was mostly because of the influx of the money that used to leak to VAT fraud into the official economy especially to those who had very little before (who could suddenly afford more than just bread and margarine)


the current VAT gap has nothing to do with VAT fraud but with VAT evasion which is caused by the rise of black economy where money flows without being reported - some people are affraid now of buying things and services legally - like all those fraudulent doctors and lawyers who cannot prove their income and have to go -an fear electronic VAT fakturas

I haven't said nothing in the shape that PiS has removed all of the VAT gap - however that part of VAT gap (VAT evasion, black economy) is not easy to curb

@gumishu
demagog.org.pl/wypowiedzi/jak-wygladaly-wplywy-z-podatku-vat-w-ostatnich-latach/ - this table shows the VAT income in recent years (and roughly 52 billion rise between the years 2015 and 2018) - the big chunk of the growth was thanks to stopping of VAT fraud


the oppostition shouted scandal and they paid for it


if it was true why did Rostowski say - pieniędzy nie ma i nie będzie (there is no money for 500+ and there won't be any) - maybe he is an expert like that

stopping the leaching of the budget by crooks who used state-subsidied pharmaceuticals with the e-recepta and the laws surrounding it will probably give 4 billion PLN yearly - of course PO government couldn't do it (or maybe they didn't want to)


I never said all of the PiS programmes have been funded by the growth of VAT income (just 500+) - and I thoroughly realize that 13th and 14th pension for those retired are an expensive bribe - I also see why the government is not entirely unhappy with the price hikes of goods and services (but I don't believe your exaggerations delph)

members of parliament actuallly lost 20 or 25 per cent of their money - after the 'nagrody' presumed scandal - I was thoroughly supporting the nagrody - a goverment that curbed down humungous VAT fraud really earned them - it's just Polish people who are idiots


so you haven't read the article - I am not surprised at all

you here repeat the lies of Rostowski - and you also prove you read nothing outside your own information bubble - all of the original 500+ programme has been covered by the rise in VAT (not counting the fuel akcyza tax) incomes in Poland -all of it - it caused certain deficit in the budget in the first year (2016) but not later - also Poland experienced unprecedented growth in the year before coronavirus - read here: wpolityce.pl/gospodarka/430887-w-ciagu-ostatnich-3-lat-wplywy-z-vat-wzrosly-az-o-52-mld-zl

the rise in the VAT incomes for the Polish budget was mainly because of curbing of VAT fraud which PO seemingly could not accomplish

simple libel suit - if you want to write history stick to facts - like for example testimonies of the survivors of the Holocaust who said the man accused of helping Nazis helped them survive - and the Polish court agreed that this was a case of a libel

there was just one single SKOK that was a scam and that was a SKOK Wołomin which was run by ex military intelligence people - more or less anybody could establish a SKOK
