Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

I noticed you posted that you lived in sweden so you know this. Yes sweden was unique that it had a open door policy for 'refugees' with no limits last 30 years. Yes other countries had a sane and compassionate refugee policy.

The problem is that they let anyone who claimed they were from xxx country become a resident over the last 30 years. No checks and balances. And Sweden has been royally raped for their altruism. Even the pope said after visiting sweden that the migrants need to integrate. Being christian is a lot more than turning the other cheek and for instance giving ISIS returnees special benefits.

In regards to violent crime in Sweden Paulina Neuding spells it out pretty well.
". There are regular bombings, hand grenade attacks and shootings. Young men are killing each other at a horrific rate - ten times that of Germany. The feeling is growing that the government has completely lost control." spectator.com.au/2020/09/scandi-noir/

But I know Titus will point to thelocal.se again , a unashamed sweden apologetia website, run by a brit expat and partly funded by the swedish goverment, to say it's all fine and nothing to do with migrants!

News / Poland calls on British expertise to analyse the Smolensk accident [49]

For the explosives to play a role, the explosion would have to be synchronized to the landing trajectory.

Yes its quite possible, experts have said that the plane was 30 meters in the air when it is claimed it hit the tree.

no sane person under 60 careas....

British experts found traces of explosives on the plane.

And now an Italian laboratory, has independently found the same thing. People can sniff or speculate at the conspiracy theories, but the explosives fact is irrefutable. Obviously the Miller report is not complete and further suspicion is warranted.

News / Poland calls on British expertise to analyse the Smolensk accident [49]

A second international laboratory has confirmed the presence of TNT and a second explosive material RDX on the wreckage fragments and bodies. A test for soil samples found at smolensk tested negative as some were claiming the area was contiminated by WW2 explosives. . This time opposition cannot lie that the tests only shows presence of some organic material like hairspray. Hopefully more details of what happened will come to light in next few years.

the hospitals are overwhelmed because PiS did not prepare

They are not overwhelmed, the hospital system is overwhelmed when there are no more ventilators and ICU space and patients are being triaged as who gets care. This is not happening, if/before that happens there will be a strict lockdown. If there are people dying of coronavirus in hospital corridors in the future I will be the first to condemm PiS. The goverment prepared for the second wave just as well or badly as any other European nation.

There will be tax cuts for business in the new deal so its not just social welfare measures. The factions are just ironing out their differences over EU money. be patient and be prepared to praise united right once the budget comes out.

If 30% of the people in that group get the benefit...It is a populist buying votes tactic

You are basically saying that 70 percent of low income earners are unemployed, but at the same time helping 30 percent is a 'populist measure' Look up what populist means. Are you senile or just dumb?

It is sickening to think anyone would actually believe these things

What is sickening is some FOB (Fresh of the Boat) pontificating about Poland when he has no idea.
I'll make some educated guesses here, you had no idea about Polish politics before you moved there, As usual Americans like you have not lived in another country before you moved there. (I have lived and worked in five) You don't know what is going on in other countries regarding the Coronavirus and economics. Everything you attribute to PiS , because of your lack of knowledge is also partially part of the post communist pathology. All the economic problems due to the coronavirus also happened in other countries. Yet it's all PiS fault because somehow they shouldn't have introduced lockdowns and somehow reformed the hospital system in six months. Funny how French hospitals are also under the same sort of pressure as Poland.

. Even in Australia where we have had massive economic stimulus and only a six week lockdown many retail shops have closed .If united right did not introduce lockdowns you would be screaming about the hospitals being overwhelmed.

A tax free threshold for the first 30k is an basic economic policy that both left and right would support in any other country, apart from those with PiS Derangement Syndrome. Yet you somehow dismiss it because it will not help those recently unemployed, But if united right increased unemployment benefits you would say its helping the unproductive and drunks and will bankrupt the economy. I'm surprised you did not say that the 30k threshold will be disaster because your friends will cheat the system. Where is your source that 95 percent of tarcza is going to big business? Nothing is good enough for you. You don't know what is going on and rely on your family to tell you how to think politically.

There is no stimulus planned for business

Both of us don't know what will be in the New Deal apart from the leaks today about the 30k tax free and expansion to 500+. Let's wait till the budget.

As an aside you keep complaining about paying ZUS and increasing taxes. Are you even aware that the vast majority of businesses can apply for a ZUS exemption?. Or all the other help to business available ? gov.pl/web/tarczaantykryzysowa/wyszukaj-wsparcie-dla-swojej-firmy United Right is spending 5 billion złoty in march to support business and no it is not just going to PiS big firms. Considering the unemployment rate is 6.5 percent doesn't seem to support your story of economic apocalypse.

Nearly everyone in the service industry is out of work,

I am sure the New Deal will include stimulus for new small business to be formed and replace the ones that had to shut. The conditions should be much improved in a few months.

When economy is concerned, I have always been conservative

Yes anyone who does not believe in the right of a child not to go hungry but believes in the right of a child to be forced to attend drag queen story time is not leftwing at all. You're some sort of neo-liberal deviant really. Don't worry there is a faction of konfedercja that would suit you to a T

Much ado about doing nothing that will work.

And what is your dumb neolib solution? tax free threshold starting at 300k, cutting to the bone social welfare spending and thus consumption and millions for businesses such as yours. ain't happening jack! If you don't like it move to china where there is no social welfare and your brand of ruthless capitalism will be widely accepted.

Yes,. it is going to erode Poland`s finances even more.

Funny how fake leftwingers in poland are against actual policies that help the working class, but instead all about virtue signalling on identity politics issues. Never mind the fact that the tax free threshhold will help fellow teachers working in the public system. You sir are a class traitor.

So in the space of one hour regarding the 9 percent tax rate , you have gone from

it is not available to any existing corporations

to

You must make an application for it if you are an existing company

Are you for real or Jons second trolling account? How do you expect anyone to take your claims on running a business seriously when you don't even know basic details about the polish tax system?

investigate the new business tax at 9% and you need to take a reading comprehension class

A week ago you claimed it was only available to businesses that were making peanuts. Today you said it's only available to new businesses. Wrong on both counts. Sounds like you can't get your story right. If your business has revenues of more than 1.2 million euro than just state so.

That does not change the fact that united right lowered the tax rate of small/medium business in poland from 19 to 9 percent. Eliminated income tax for young people. Hardly socialism!

The only thing your family manufactures is BS

Organic fertiliser production is a very lucrative business.

Then they turn 25, and magically their income falls below

You seem to run in an interesting circle. Your doctor steals remedesivir from the hospital and young people who are your employees or nephews are committing tax fraud. Instead of being grateful to the only goverment in the west that does not tax their income in their youth they spit in the face of Poland by defrauding their community. These white collar criminals deserve jail.

, it is not available to any existing corporations.

Yes it is, according to KPMG as of Jan 2019 a 9 percent rate is available to most taxpayers if their income does not exceed 1.2 Million Euro. Yes it is also available to big business in the first year of their operation but thata two separate things.

To add to your dishonest bunch of mates, the fact you do not know this, means your accountant/lawyer is taking advantage of your lack of polish and is creaming 10 percent of your companies taxes. Nice! Well I guess anything goes in the ruthless capitalist land, just hope you have changed your bank passwords recently! they'll clean that out next.

Fakes are fakes

I already told you I was born in Poland, left when was a kid, then lived in Poland in 2010 and come back regularly. Plus my extended family has a manufacturing business in Poland. I had to do this because you claimed that anyone who thought Duda would win the elections in 2020 never lived in Poland as they knew nothing about the conditions here. haha history repeating.
