How do you define "vital industries"?
If a business needs subsidising, why? If it's not self-supporting surely it's not viable? If it's some "new, technological" business which is beneficial to the country and it gets a subsidy to "get it going", won't it become dependent on the subsidy and bleat when the subsidy is removed later?
Life and people are irregular, one person can survive very well on seemingly "low wages" and someone else will struggle so what is a "low" minimum wage to one person is quite a nice earner for another.
Going back to taxation, companies setting up here knew full well what the tax situation was and not satisfied with creaming money out of the country, made deliberate moves to evade such tax as was due which has always peeved those who paid their way.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
