Actually they've been working towards it for a long time: observe: 13% flat tax, 24% corporate tax (14% for IT), no sales tax, 1/3rd off the VAT and 1/2 off the Payroll. They've been trying to streamline government for small business initiation...of course this is turning out to be a lot harder, as bureaucracies are resilient and evil creatures. They have also paid off almost all their external debts and have kept a deficit free government for 5 years.
The largest forest products corp. has no foreseeable plans to build any new plants or even a upgrade for that matter in N America. They have plans to build several new plants overseas. Care to guess where? The rest of the wood products industry are the same.
A big forest products company wanted to build a plant in the USA. They submitted the plan to the Environmental and other agencys for permits and all. The agencies told them they would have to hold a public meeting on it and do all the evironmental studies to grant the permits. In the public meeting they met with one of the most hostile crowds I have ever seen. The plans for the plant were scrapped and the company moved their plans to Russia.
In Russia they met with the authorities responsible for allowing them to build. They ask "Where do you want to put this plant?" The company told them the location but there was a problem, there was a wetland nearby. The Russians told them to build as they would take care of the wetland problem-they dug a lake and filled in the rest. They built the roads for the plant, had the electrical put in to operate the plant and built housing for workers near the plant.
Which place would you build a plant? Here or Russia?
