I think that's about where American taxes are at when you combine State and Federal. Makes sense that no one would want to live in a city that taxes them 20% on top of all that. /Edit: Nevermind, looks like the average actual tax rate is a touch under 30%, counting both federal and local taxes. My point still stands about folks not wanting half their wages to functionally go up in smoke, though, even if you assume some overlap between the actual tax rate and the 20% in Max Tax City.

I mean, if it weren't for the EPA I think something similar to the factory sweatshop city you succeeded with would exist, albeit to a less extreme extent since people can't just be bussed in by the cityload to work every week. We'd get Fordlandia probably.

feels more likely our rail infrastructure would stop rotting, because why load people _and_ product into individual automobiles that have to share the same asphalt as outsiders not earning you money when you can just shove 'em all on the same train and be done with it?

I mean little ones still exist in the west. Some company factory complexes are big enough and dodgy enough to be old fashioned company towns. And now private rehabs are getting in on it by converting their buildings into factory lines and luring in people sent to rehab by the law courts, so they arent allowed to leave the 'rehab'

A study was actually done asking people how much they'd be willing to give. They found that 17%, roughly, was the max that they could push, before folks started getting mad

I did that once: you cant max taxes instantly, but every year you increase 0,1% in everything. But for that yes, a rich population is required.

The fire guy was passively-aggressively dabbing at you again, but you didn't ref the old video. AA, I reckon you could have maxed out a bit harder on the Jokes in this episode. The ending was great though.

Wait, this isn’t how you’re supposed to play this game? Make massive profits and then bulldoze the whole city when you’re rich and build the one you actually want?

"Hey, I've been looking for a really good job lately but I don't have a College education. Where should I go?" "Just go to Max Tax City. I heard they don't even require you to be able to read in order to do their jobs. It's said that they even give you free hazmat suits, what with the acidic rain and the nonexistent ozone layer above it." "Nah, that's just a rumor. They don't even have breathable air for free, you think they'd give you a whole hazmat suit?"

Play simcity4 again! But this time, I want to see a well balanced and artistically integral city, starting with a half circle of road and half circle of street in a 2x2 square. Your perfectly balanced city will branch out around there. I'll make one too since i'm playing this a lot right now!

I always liked running normal to stupidly low taxes and then cranking the taxes as high as they would go right before collection time in the SNES version. It worked pretty well for a little while. Also ...wow ...imagine only being taxed 20%

I did this challenge when I was 10 abs got the exact same results. I was watching this and was immediately like "wait until he hits 9.3%" Personally, I use this entire gameplan to min/max every city's save file: big industry, demolish, rezone, rebuild with the millions.

I remember playing SimCity on my Nintendo DS as a kid many years ago. From what I remember, taxes were collected at the end of every year. So on the last day of every year right before everyone paid their taxes, I would maximize the tax. Then on the first day of the year after everyone paid maximum tax, I would decrease it again. There’s a chance I am remembering it wrong, but I know I did something like that, it’s just been so long since.

It is not even close to accurate. The top 5% pay for well over 90% of all taxes in this country. Over half of Americans don't even pay any income tax either.
