I know this topic has been reviewed on here a few times before, but I believe it's a very very important feature that deserves more attention.

Presidents should have the ability to set income tax levels. This should be a premium member only ability, and should also have an option in the automation feature for inexperienced players to keep the default income tax rate.

These rates will change by a small percentage each month to the desired rate, basically like salary level but with % per month change. with the ability to buy a booster with gc to boost rate changes like salaries.

Presidents will be able to set individual tax rates for each worker type/income level with the ability to set extreme rates, a simple 0-100% system. Example an extremely high rate will lower birth rates. Increase death rates. Lower population spending. An extremely low rate will increase birth rates. Decrease death rates. Stimulate population spending.

As you know, the gamemasters have said a number of times that making citizen tax rates customizable would require redesigning a bunch of features. That's not practical since other improvements need priority.

Presidents already have plenty of ways to influence the income of a country. They already can change citizen tax revenue by changing the composition of the workforce.

I see. Thanks for letting me know that, I just posted without really looking. I know about workforce changes too. I have more high tech workers then normal workers which gives me high tax for my size.

Raising your salaries ( corporate, government, and what you require from CEOs) will obviously give you more taxes. Some CEOs want high welfare/production and low taxes, then pay like 150 salary. Try to get rid of these.
