How can a country President lower wages for non-state employees?

Topics: Beginners: How can a country President lower wages for non-state employees?

ezekielprincetyrus	Thursday, August 16, 2012 - 11:03 pm I see ads inviting CEOs to set up corporations in different countries. The country Presidents usually say their country has 0% tax, which I understand how to create. But they also say the private sector wages in their country are very low. All I see on controlling wages is for state-owned enterprises. How do country Presidents set private sector wages lower? thanks

You wont get away with that in my countries, I dont like these cheap assed CEOs trying to pay 100 or even lower. I just up my state wages a bit and let them have a dose of unemployment.

Drew	Friday, August 17, 2012 - 07:21 am I've noticed that CEO's are likely to go 305 just because of possible competition. CEO's wouldn't want your own salaries crazy low, as it affects the stability of your country, which should be a major factor for them. If a country has salaries below 250 I would worry about placing corps in the country, so 300 is good. If it's too high then good! force them out. The higher you can their salaries to go the better it is for you as high salaries increase productivity, increasing revenue, increasing country resources paid, not to mention the benfits of having higher higher paid citizens. Basically if you have welfare of 120+ and 0% taxes you won't be hurting on requests no matter what your salaries are.
