Yeah, when February 1906 passed, when the liberal party won a massive majority and carried out a bunch of reforms, i figured there was no event, but wow are reforms expensive. I set the interventionist liberal party as ruling party and have tariffs maxed as far as I can and even with 30, 40, 50, taxes can't make ends meet, and that's with social reforms only at about 50% of max, and social spending only about 15% higher than the minimum needed to fund my reforms. I'm beginning to rue the millions of pounds I threw away at random to fund other states, and the massive amount of pre-dreadnoughts and protected cruisers I built...my 4 million pound surplus is down to 2.5 million in less than a year(although I also discovered Dreadnoughts, Battle cruisers, and light cruisers about the same time so that's also been draining my reserves).
Any recommendation on the best tax ration for an interventionist government? At 30% poor, 40% middle, 50% rich, nobody has a meaningful cash reserve and the middle class can't get all their daily goods, although they're fine on sustenance.
