Tax rates (real poll)

Everyone hates paying taxes- so here's your chance to vote on your tax rate!
(Don't you wish you could do this in real life?)

Our current tax rate is 20 tax 50 science and 30 luxuries.

We develop techs every 4 turns and earn 232 gold with expenses of 59 gold.

How shall we change our current tax rate?

Several options:

10/60/30 - Increases science rate, though it does not decrease turns/tech. Our income decreases to 117 gold/turn.

Stay the same- my preference. We need the cash to rush factories and other improvements.

WLTPD day- or Christmas party option:

10/30/60 most of our cities celebrate. Science rate drops substantially. Expected city growth restricted by lack of current city infrastructure.

Finally, let the banana decide- it's your money after all!

it's the city planner's job to do the tax rate thread?

I say keep it the same.

I asked about the cityplanner/trade minister jurisdiction earlier. It seemed the response was to get a poll out and that it did not really matter who put it out.

Seems the people approve of the job the trade minister is doing

If the trade minister wants to post these threads, I won't bother with these.

Since the tax rate effects many aspects of the game, I think any minister could open a poll about it, but only one poll per session. I can say that, as President, I found it useful to be free to micromanage the tax rate turn-by-turn.
