It consistently fails to provide its citizens with a decent service. It does not know how to communicate with its citizens (compare Polish <i>kodeks drogowy</i> with UK - even better Irish - highway codes). It costs the Polish tax authorities 3.2 grosze to collect one zloty of tax. It costs the Irish tax authorities 0.9 of a eurocent to collect one euro of tax - in other words, its three and half time less efficient.<br /><br />There's too many <i>urzędasy</i> doing too little work, or else entrapping kiosk ladies for 5 gr in unpaid VAT while leaving the <i>mafie paliwowe</i> untouched.<br /><br />Rebuilding social trust is key, after 45 years in which it was reduced to rubble by communism, which sought to replace all social networks with the monopoly of the party.<br /><br />This must start with the state. The state must start to trust the citizen. Not treating the citizen as a would-be tax swindler, but as honest. And the citizen-tax payer will respond in kind.<br /><br />If Poland can fix its state and rebuild social trust, we'll be 99% of the way there.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.com
