mr. Waldemar Gronowski, a baker from legnica, Poland was helping people by giving free bread to orphanages and shelters for the homeless. that was about 300 loaves of bread every day.
Unfortunately, The Polish Income Tax dept. didn\'t like it as apparently you\'re not allowed to give things away for free. He now faces a bill of 245 000 zł (approximately 62 500
The Polish Income Tax department thinks a baker deserves a massive fine just for feeding hungry people. Their relentless greed is an insult to every person suffering in our community and I am not backing down until this absurdity ends.
October 7, 2006
The bureaucrats in the tax office clearly underestimated how quickly people would react to this blatant cruelty against a man feeding the hungry. We have reached a point where the authorities can no longer ignore this injustice or pretend the public is happy with their cold math. The pressure is mounting and Waldemar is not going to stand alone against these heartless suits.
