Tax the Rich!

1. Enact a new rule entitled "Taxation" with text as follows:

The Property Tax Rate is a variable associated with the Game. It can be changed only as described in the rules. The Property Tax Rate may be neither greater than 0.1 nor less than 0.

Upon Adoption of this rule set the Property Tax Rate to 0.03 and delete this paragraph.

At the end of each nweek each agent, but not the Bank, whose score is greater than 100 points, owes the Tax Rate times their score at the beginning of that nweek, rounded down, in points to the bank.

If, at the end of an nweek, the score of that one or more agents as of the beginning of that nweek is not known, the Official Bean Counter is fined 20 points, and calculation of the taxation for that agent or agents is put off until such time as eir score is calculated.

2. Enact a new rule entitled "Changing the Property Tax Rate"

The Motion to Set the Property Tax Rate is a Unilateral Secondary Motion that takes effect only if the Banker and the Tax collector publicly announce their approval. If the offices of the Banker and the Tax Collector are held by the same person then it is an Approvable motion not subject to unanimous consent.

The value specified by the Motion to Set the Property Tax Rate becomes the new Property Tax Rate when the motion takes effect.
