I know how ya feel i had 5000 saving for upgrade and i lost over 1500$from that event i was very angry

I haven't seen anybody posting to complain about that.

still the chance of getting that soon after is very slim

Actually, it is completely random. In one of my families I had the tax man give, take, give, take, and then give in five consecutive emails. In another it seems like all the tax man does is take, and in another he is always giving.

I know it can be frustrating when something bad happens (especially in the beginning) but hang in there. It won't be long til you have more money than you know what to do with . (It might seem like forever, though )

well, thanks for all the imput i still enjoy this game.
take care all

It seems to me that the less money you have, the more they take...and the more money you have, the more they give! Just like real life!!

Not really. It's just that when you haven't got much money you notice it more. In fact, it's always 10% of your bank balance.

now i'm getting po my family has 2550 in the bank and 13000 units of food i've never played a game where the tax man is
really nasty about it. he says: be happy we didn't take more.
i really do not need this kind of stress i never played a game
where you lose money like except in monoply if low ever comes
out with vf 2 i do not think i will invest.
just venting. just getting tired of this.
ira

me too i have been getting lots of high taxes

Sometimes you give and sometimes you receive. I bet no one would mind getting this one :

Woooah! Some of you folks are taking this game a little too seriously! Lighten up! I just came here to ask if anyone had two high tax bills right in a row, but from what I've read, I'm not the only one. Yet I see that I may get it back eventually. I'll be waiting . . . and waiting . . . I've been saving up for a room upgrade. Thought I'd get it soon. Looks like my little family will be waiting longer. This really is like real life.
