     I think the Bonzai taxing strategy is to raise taxes to 20% in
*December* and then set it back to 0% (or some low value) when the annual
budget report appears in January.  If you set taxes high at any other time of
the year, the Sims that remain will complain vehemently.  I suppose "FUNDS"
is sufficient, but "FUND" is all that is required (at least on my version).
