Abolish country resource payments and replace them with an adjustable labor tax.

Crafty ~ "But I'm talking about other CEOs corps, so I cant just do that. If it were my own I would fix it."

Those are the types of corporations which I am talking about as well. If country resource payments were abolished and replaced with an adjustable tax in proportion to the number of people employed in any given corporation, whether that corporation be controlled by an enterprise or by a president, corporations would then not be able to escape taxation no matter how badly they were failing. Forcing badly failing corporations to pay the same amount of money to the state as more successful corporations would help to force failing corporations to close down more quickly, while at the same time reducing the financial burden on more successful corporations and thus helping them to prosper.

you are a capitalist bastard

Country resource payment - tie it into production, instead of a fixed amount? Makes a kind of sense, you use more of X, you pay more. And in a down market if you continue to overamp production it stays. If you lower production, your costs also decline - and free up workers for other coporations.

As a president, I'm relying heavily on private corporations - enough to put just about everything I can back into infrastructure to make it more appealing. (Currently getting close to 30 bil/month over beginner income.)

I am a beginner, and am selling everything (though I am getting particular where I sell those products that aren't in demand. I find I'm a good customer).

Sorry for chiming in since I am new.

Gunther Shamus ~ "you are a capitalist bastard"

You're absolutely right about that: I'm totally a capitalist bastard. I see no reason why intelligent, responsible CEOs should have to bear the burden for any stupid CEO whose corporations fail miserable. I'll do everything I can to make my country a place where private corporations can make a profit, but if after everything I do, they still fail anyway, I see no reason why they should be let off the hook. As far as I'm concerned, they can pull their own weight or "GTFO"!

I think there might be a better solution than country resources paid but I also agree with Andy somewhat. I mean really failing corps go bankrupt if it's too slow you can build state corps and raise their salaries to take employment from them. If they start to fail their market value will drop and you can nationalize them much cheaper and send em back out when their profitible again, or close them, or let them go bankrupt. In fact that isn't too shabby because you don't have too pay startup fees or some of them have upgrades in them already. There are ways to speed a corp into bankruptcy, failing that at least taking them cheaply.
