Just wondering how you get Tax down, I have tried several things such as generating extra revenue by introducing fines not being nice in marriage, increasing amount of people who pay tax to lower the amount everyone pays but nothing seems to work.

Well you need to increase you economy I think, obviously you do this through issues where it would increase it.

Only thing though, is cos' your nation is a fairly large size, it may not happen straight away, so stick in there :)

Look for issues that promote the economy, or reduce government services/spending. Promoting the economy increases the supply of taxes, meaning the tax rate can be reduced. Reducing government spending or services reduces the demand for taxes, resulting in tax cuts.

It always comes back to supply and demand.

Presumably if you ban business and go to a command economy, then you're at a significant disadvantage.

There are also several issues which explicitly give you the option to reduce taxes, either as part of the annual budget, to distract the public's attention away from a scandal, etc. Just wait for one of those to come around. Switch your Settings to receiving 2 issues per day to speed things up if you wish.
