everyone knows populism is evil - especially those who benefit from 500+

and well we all know that VAT mafias were fairy tales - and that there is no money to cover for 500+ expenses - and that budget deficit is exorbitant as of november 2018 - a staggering minus 6 billion PLN - I hope you know what deficit in negative numbers means


you must have read the notesfrompoland.com website - the Notes from Poland facebook profile is much more lively but there is an obvious bias to it

Work / Living in Poland with income from the US. [44]


it is doable - we as a family of four live for not much more than 4000 Zloty but our rent is quite cheap cause we live in the countryside

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]


yes indeed

the place name (a village most probably-never heard of such a town) could have been Jew or Jewo - the name has nothing to do with Jews or Jewishness - a Jew in Polish is "żyd" - Jew or Jewo are probably old forms or derivates of 'jaw' which means sort of visible, uncovered

I stopped watching at this point - I just got too disillusioned and strangely angry - prayer helped mi with the anger thing later on

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


he must be an avid consumer of TVN Fakty - Dougpol you know living off TVN Fakty news is similar to living in a parallel universe


you actually believe Poles fought tanks on horses? oh well let me see - German propaganda and a commie filmmaker have swayed the world opinion it seems

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Wałęsa wasn't scared because he was brought to the shipyard by SB on a motorboat specifically to dismantle the strike which he almost managed to accomplish

Dougpol is just furious he cannot effectively change anything in Poland by means of his own powers (the powers he believes he has) that's why he comes here and moans

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [251]


first of all Kaczyński would never tell Duda to eat **** or probably anybody - he sort of has manners - the other thing is Kaczyński and Duda played in the same team but now Kaczyński has to take into account that Duda might not agree with him on some points although they still mostly play into the same goal

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


the only major SKOK scandal was with SKOK Wolomin that was run by the aquintances of Bronisław Komorowski from former WSI (military secret services) - if there were any involvment of PiS in the SKOK Wołomin which happened long before PO lost power - PO would thouroughly investigate it including setting up a partliamentary commission like the one that PiS set up to investigate the Amber Gold affair

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Walesa is an ego maniac, who among others promised every adult person in Poland 100 000 000 in old Polish zlotys to secure his presidency in 1992 - even now this amount is a rather biggish sum for an average family in Poland (100 000 000 PLZ is more than 20 000 PLN in current prices) and he is a major traitor of the people

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


mafketis never had a foreskin so he doesn't know what it is like - so he resorts to some wild imaginations

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

I think (I may be wrong though) that it was Jewish doctors in the US that spread the notion that circumcision is somehow medically beneficial in order for Jews not to stick out like sore thumbs with their circumcised penises

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]

very good point

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


johnny just from my experience - I live over 40 years with a foreskin and never had any health issues caused by it even though I not always took shower or bathed every day - in fact in my childhood I only bathed once a week - and not a single health problem caused by the foreskin - so medical pro's of circumcision are in my view rather dubious - I also never heard of anyone I know have issues because of having a foreskin - do you want more proof circumcision is completely unnecessary

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]


if you die or face other serious health problems because of vaccination it surely was a bad idea to undergo it

why do you actually bother - did you bother the same when PO was in power or was everything rose petals for you back then

Law / Old Polish money banknotes - what's their value today? [415]

the fact is nobody in Poland appart from narrow financial circles calls our currency PLN instead of złoty in everyday speach - there are even millions of people in Poland that are happily unaware of it being code named PLN

Law / Old Polish money banknotes - what's their value today? [415]


it says on Polish notes that the currency is called złoty - PLN is an expat newspeak

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

ok I just read up - starting from this year if your 'zaliczka na poczet podatku dochodowego' or monthly due tax is lower than 1000 PLN you don't have to pay it that month but you have to include the income in the tax return you file at end of the fiscal year

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

it should be done on a monthly basis yes if you run your own business (which you do when you are a freelancer) - but the final 'rozliczenie podatkowe' will determine if you need to pay additionally (because you crossed the income threshold), don't need to pay anything or receive some paid tax back

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

if you work on a umowa o pracę, and the additional job is not another umowa o pracę you don't have to pay ZUS for the second job or for a business you own in most cases and certainly not in your case (the cases when you need to pay ZUS from your business (działalność gospodarcza) include a situation when your umowa o pracę doesn't pay you the minimum Polish wage) - but yes you are obliged to pay income taxes from your additional income - (19 or 32 per cent depending on your income as you stated) - you will need to file your tax return covering all of your incomes (well the ones you feel Urząd Skarbowy are able to detect)
