No-one is too poor in Poland to pay taxes - there's VAT on virtually everything that you can buy. That's enough to enfranchise them.
I wonder how much the average Pole does pay in taxes. Any idea?

Polonians that are citizens of Poland accept the responsibilities that go with citizenship.
Except doing anything to help Poland, of course.

If Poland wished to draft them they would go to war etc.
No they don't. The vast majority of them have pledged allegiance to foreign powers and many have sworn to attack Poland when so ordered.

They are taxed by the governments of the countries in which they live.
That is their choice and their problem.

Surely you don't suggest that they should have to pay the Polish government too when they don't avail themselves of any of the Polish governments social serices, nor do they contribute to the wear and tear of the Polish infrastructure.
They can certainly afford to pay. And people who live in Poland but use none of the government's social service or the education system or the health care system have to pay taxes here.
On another note, congratulations for making a post without insulting anybody and purely attempting to comment on the issues. Keep up the good work.
