It's very clear to me you are exactly the kind of person I am talking about.

Well, it means you didn't understand a word I was saying.

Figures please or stop bamboozling.
Go look out the front door genius. I am not your secretary.

As you didn't want to check your deep observations about Polish irresponsible indebtedness against some statistic sources, so it was me to do it.

It wasn't so easy as I thought. But I succeeded, partly however.
According to data from 2 banks:
Poles spend 12% of their income for handling their debts, while Britons 25-30%.

It looks like 2 times less in Poland. However it could mean even lesser debt since Polish interest rates are a bit higher.

I also like a nationwide sales tax

That's called VAT in Europe

They always tell me how the roads and buildings are poor and how they wanna leave because its so bad over there.

Maybe you're not too aware, but anyone can leave Poland if they want. There's only two countries out of 30 in which Poles can't work freely - Germany and Austria. Why do they stay if it's so bad?

If you don't want to be Polish, then formally renounce any Polish citizenship that you might have and change your last name. Job done.

Well, I'm probably wrong but I thought a nationwide sales tax only applies to the final product/customer whereas VAT is charged each time the product is being sold to the next customer?

Not sure about this of course but I do like the idea of flat tax on income where zero deductions would be allowed (to get rid of 95% of the IRS agents!!!) and a nationwide tax to get those who get paid "under the table" (illegal aliens).

How come? I wasn't aware of that fact.

But as of now I am not too proud of being Polish and its bothering me and I don't like it.

You just have to understand more about the countries heritage, where its come from and the reasons for the current situation.

Try to focus on the positives.

It is getting better, theres a long way to go but Poland will get there in the end.
