Mentzen to Morawiecki: Your Governments Led to Entrepreneurs and People Having Less Money, While the State Had More to Spend on Wasteful Spending

– Of course, money is needed, but it's good for it to be in private hands. Your policy, however, has led to the state accumulating that money. If state budget revenues have doubled, it means you took that money from somewhere, – said Sławomir Mentzen during a meeting with Mateusz Morawiecki.

– Even the design of such a bank tax was structured so that banks would primarily buy Treasury bonds, rather than granting loans to private entrepreneurs. This led to a crowding-out effect – he continued.

According to him: – Your governments precisely aimed for entrepreneurs and people to have less money, while the state had more money, and could then spend it on wasteful spending.
