This money goes to poor nations such as Poland. Poland uses this cash to cut taxes.
Could you not refer to us as poor? Or is that just to much of a pleasure for you to stop?

why the difference between the czech republic and slovakia?
Every penny that the EU spends on infrastructure, education, research etc for Poland is a penny that the Polish government doesn't have to spend on infrastructure, education, research etc for Poland. It frees up government budget to cut taxes.1) Subsidies are overrated. EU money goes to infrastructure, education, research etc., it is not used to subsidize trans-national companies.
You're conflating private investment from Western European companies with public investment bankrolled by Western European governments. The former is something I encourage; the latter has far reaching implications, and is no trivial matter.2) Redistribution of wealth is one of the key principles of the EU. The idea is that wealthier new members will also buy more products from Western Europe, plus of course the W. Euro. investments to new member countries will generate more revenues. Everybody profits.
Yes, and then stop giving Palestinians european money:

Well theres no way Dell would have moved to Poland if it wasn't a poor country by Western European standards. Are you seriously letting your nationalism blind you to that fact?
What Warpus said, We aren't some Angola or something. I live my life like any other American/Canadian/European/Australian.
This seems like a familiar subject.There is barely a difference financially between the average Pole and the average Frenchman is my point. We aren't poor commies anymore, if you haven't heard.
Despite our best efforts to the contrary.I guess Poland wasn't forgotten this time
With salaries on the factory floor averaging 1,500 to 2,000 zlotys (345-460 euros, 445-590 dollars) per month, labour costs in Poland are a fraction of those in Ireland.
again with the inferiority complex... why are you mentioning communism? Poland is dirt poor compared to most of western Europe, and Rich as astronauts compared to most of Africa. It's relative; the terms rich and poor can only exist if you have somehting to compare them to. Shekwan, ignore it, it's an inferiority complex some (but not all) of the central and eastern Europeans on OT have.There is barely a difference financially between the average Pole and the average Frenchman is my point.

How this can be offensive is a mystery to me. I do realise there are poor and rich people in Poland. I am not calling you personally "poor".

The Palestinians received €3bn over a period of 8 years. Over the next 5 years, Poland will receive €65bn. That's €13bn every year.
And it's not European money, it's French, German, Italian and British money.
