alt Hacker News> Polish economy grows despite EU membership, not because of it.
LOL. Seriously, LOL. You think GDP growth would be HIGHER if not for the access to the common market? What the hell are you talking about?
As a Pole, I see such statements as absolutely ridiculous, brain-dead.
Common market is overrated, and the negative impact of EU-imposed taxes and stupid regulations is real. As I said: Polish GDP grew faster before joining EU.
I would be first to vote "leave" if it ever comes to it.
