My nation has never had taxes, and even though I've voted lately to eliminate inheritance in favor of estate tax, it still holds by the abolition of taxes I had when I got the issue near the beginning of the game. Anyone know a way to reverse this decision and institute some small taxes? I wanna get rid of some national debt :D

As far as I can tell, you don't control taxes. In the past week my income tax went from 4% to 6% to nonexistent even though I made no decisions relating to taxation in any way.
You also have to remember that due to the limited scope of this game, it's going to take very specific things you make a decision on, and make a much broader application than you wanted. For example, I make a decision to regulate the meat industry, and it now says that "eating meat is frowned upon" in my country. Also, in my ideal government, the feds wouldn't spend money on education, the local governments would. But if I make the specific decision to not increase funds for education, it will probably say that education is under-funded and not held in high importance in my country.
So, in the same vein, if you pursue "big government" policies and make more socialist decisions, I'm guessing your taxes will rise. But as I pointed out at first, sometimes taxes will rise and fall when you don't make those decisions also.
