Well, taxes are based off of issues. The only real way you can fix this is to answer the issues pertaining to taxes the the way that supports them, which is some what an obvious thing.

There are also a few other issues that do increase taxes, but usually only by a small bit, and it would be too much work to list them.

Postby Annihilators of Chan Island » Wed Apr 29, 2015 2:27 am

So I got issue 221 and abolished my tax code to get the privilege of being eligible for issue 370. Now that I have it (and have cherished it long enough!) I must wonder.... which option should I choose to get the highest tax rate again? After all, it isn't a complete dystopia if there are no or low taxes!

Abolished Tax Code Crushes Annihilators of Chan Island

The Issue

After the sudden withdrawal of all government subsidies led to the overnight collapse of Annihilators of Chan Island's economy, panicked - and now jobless - bureaucrats have flocked to your office demanding a swift U-turn in government policy.

The Debate

"Yes! Re-institute the tax codes," implores former civil servant Jacob Love, searching behind your desk for loose change. "If we act now, there's still a chance we can raise the money needed to save our economy - and my career!"

Accept

"You've got to be kidding me," declares Renee Harishchandra, head - and last remaining employee - of the Annihilators of Chan Islandian Revenue Agency, recently voted most popular person in Annihilators of Chan Island. "Did you see the look on our citizens' faces when we abolished taxes? Give them even more control over their economic futures, and the economy will surely recover in time."

Accept

"The ECONOMY has collapsed?!?" splutters a near-hysterical Imogen de Groot. "You need some perspective - our entire public sector has been wiped out overnight! Millions left destitute, without education, healthcare or pensions. Rather than cosying up to business again, we urgently need a restoration of the welfare budgets you callously axed!"

Accept
This nation is modeled on being my absolute worst dystopia imaginable. In no way do the Annihilators reflect my opinions, in fact I am totally against almost every single policy they enact.

I honestly really like to write issues.

One would assume option 1 would do it, since it is reinstating the taxes you abolished.

Although there's no actual tax rate in a post-scarcity economy, I'd fill out this anyways. Ideologically the PTFS leans towards punitive tax rates.
App:
Nation Name: PTFS
Current Tax Rate: n/a. Post-scarcity economy
  • Occupied territories: 75%
If you currently have a low tax rate, will you work to increase it?: Yeah of course.
