Taxes are high and right now I am earning more from tax refunds than the actual income. But something has to be done about the SIM printing and so reducing the amount of SIM put into the players hands makes sense.
The total tax rate is 121% which effectively means that you're 'taxed' more than your entire income. Although in reality, there is a 0 SIM floor.
But I don't think taxes will remain high forever so I am preparing some buildings in anticipation of when taxes go below 100%. So what building did I buy? Hotels.
As an added bonus, it also helps to reduce the number of unemployed workers I have. From having not enough workers, just a couple of apartments and basic homes swung me the other way completely.
