Add a new subrule to the rule ‘The Government’ entitled ‘Raising Taxes’ with the following text
The Government can, as a weekly action, Tax its citizens. When the Government Taxes its citizens, then for each Player, if that Player has fewer than 12 SP, the Government transfers one third of their SP, rounded up, to itself. If that Player has 12 or more SP, then the Government transfers one fourth of their SP, rounded up, to itself.
Add a new subrule to the rule ‘The Government’ entitled ‘Welfare State’ with the following text
The Government can, as a weekly action, Provide Welfare to its citizens. When the Government Provides Welfare to its citizens, each player with at least 2 but fewer than 9 SP receives 1 SP from the Government. If the Government does not have enough SP to give each Player their allotted amount, then no Player receives any and instead the Government Defaults.
Regressive taxation is so on-theme it hurts. And make sure you can afford welfare! Also a new hook for the Government Defaulting.
because of timing issues; it incentivizes putting off claiming SP until the last moment unless both actions have been taken this week.
I love the way that being richer means you get taxed less.
