POLAND, how is it getting rich?

[scooterscot]

For the last 25 years Poland has become a powerhouse of an economy and all under the shackles of the EU. How have the fought through this oppression? How?! Perhaps all from those UK donations to the EU as the Daily wail would have you believe.

The v-log is very interesting indeed. Recommend watching it through. To cut a long story short the four main reasons for its success:

1. Lots of foreign investment. Lots. More importantly 14-differents economic zones were created. Basically their copying Germany, no London centric ideology.

2. Strict control of public accounts (cough UK/Greece) with public debt barely 50% debt to GDP. Strictly no money printing. Folks always telling me how UK debt is heathy. Oh mano they've no idea, country it tittering on Tory powered bankruptcy.

3. Quality education - 9/10 university students complete their course. Oh and no tuition fees if you're Polish or an EU citizen.

4. Moderiate taxes. A family living in Poland almost pay 2/3's less than the same family living in the UK

My google translator must be broken.. or it doesn't do Northern. Perhaps deleting cookies will be the answer...

What about Polish levels of wages? Would certainly explain why they par far less tax.

[scooterscot]

€1400 gross average monthly income. Not to shabby when considering the living costs and lifestyle.

Send daddy to work in Uk

Claim benefits in Uk for polish family living in Poland.

Rinse n repeat.

Apparently.

Wasn't the EU threatening to kick Poland out using Article 7 of the Treaty of Lisbon as one of its member state no longer upholds the rule of law and therefore no longer qualifies as an EU member state.

Did that go anywhere?

Not when the UK voted to Brexit - they realised then that their flimsy dictatorship was apt to crumble.
