I previously suggested the setting of income tax % for workers to be allowed to be set by the president/player.
My tax rate is currently 29.81% and I am not really happy about this. I could either want to raise it or lower it depending on the strategy I want to adopt.
In addition to the income tax ("Taxes paid by Citizens"), I would also like to have control over:
-Health Contributions
definitions:
(health screen:
This is the amount of money contributed by the population for healthcare.)
(finances screen:
The country is paying for the health system in the country. Some of the cost however is paid by the population. The population pays for heath care either directly or by insuring the costs with a health insurance company.)
Comment: Funny how no "health insurance company" exists.
-Education Contributions
definition:
This is the amo

For the "transportation contributions" suggested above, the State of Michigan raises different types of taxes.
taxes and fees collected on items used "for the operation of a motor vehicle on the state highways," including fuel and registration taxes but with the exception of general sales taxes, are to "be used exclusively for 'transportation' purposes."

Health Contributions:
It would be unrealistic to take control of this. If the population sees fit to take advantage of private health insurance rather than use the state sponsored system... that is their choice, no government action can interfere unless it goes either completely socialized or completely private care. Private care being impossible as far as gameplay is concerned, and socialized being undesirable as it would imply the removal of health contributions altogether.
Education Contributions: See above, except imagine it in the form of private donations and parochial schools... same reasoning. The population makes the decision, not the government.
Transportation contributions: Unrealistic. There isn't any real world basis for this because contributions implies "voluntary" contributions, not taxes. There is only one tax in SC, Income Tax.
Social Security Contributions: Same reasoning as health and education,

Scarlet, your comments reflect your low-level of knowledge of the gameplay.
If you were a 5-year veteran, I am sure you would best understand my concerns.
Anyone else ?
