Situational challenges

7. George Bovt, political scientist. 16 French oligarchs appealed to their government with a proposal to increase taxation for them from personal incomes, but in return they are asked not to touch the finpotoks of their companies. American billionaire Warren Buffett, like Bill Gates and before the crisis, donated most of the money to charity. French millionaires live and work in France, American millionaires live in the United States.
Accordingly, there is an incentive to establish life and work in their countries, the home improvement necessarily implies that neighbors are not embittered by the poor. Russian oligarchs work and live in Russia, but their families often live in Europe and the United States.
The Ministry of Finance proposes to consider the rich as having a salary of 45 thousand per month. It is more expedient to increase the property tax, there is still no cadastre of houses worth 10 million dollars.
8. The question is rhetorically naive: why do bosses have much more salaries than simple laborers? While for $ 1 earned by an ordinary but qualified employee, top manager received $ 50, the company regularly supplied electricity to the state and dividends to shareholders. But when for $ 1 ordinary dollar it became 450 dollars of executives, the motivation gave way to greed, fake reports to shareholders, then the lights went out in the cities, and the top managers went to court. Economists have established: the ratio of 1 to 50, to 70, even to 100 can still somehow reasonably explain, but on the fringe. For the ratio of the salary level, it makes sense to follow only the interested parties. They could be collective shareholders. But they are almost absent in Russia. And individual bosses - managers of large ones - write a complaint to Deputy Prime Minister I. Sechin against President Dmitry Medvedev with a request to cancel the presidential decision that minority shareholders (owners of small blocks of shares) have the right to know who, how much and where to send their money. In the average cost of production in Russia, the share of salaries is 20-25%, in Europe - 50-60%, in the USA - 75-78% - we are trying to create competitive goods by reducing the earnings of employees. This distortion can change the modernization - creating high-performance jobs instead of primitive shops. In Novocheboksarsk "Renova" V.Vekselberg and "Rosnano" A Chubais erect a plant for the production of solar modules. It is planned to flood Europe with products at lower prices than those of competitors, due to "a smaller share of costs for the enterprise´s payroll."
The main item of expenses is salaries more often in small and medium-sized businesses. Eliminates this equity increase in social taxes.
