addedA tester noticed that raising income tax through a parliamentary vote didn't change the tax slider — and he was right, in more places than one. Chamber bills like "Raise VAT by 1 point" or "Increase education funding" applied their side effects (approval, growth) but never touched the actual rate or budget your sliders show. The named tax acts in Laws & Policies (Progressive Income Tax, Value-Added Tax, Wealth Tax…) had the same gap.
changedChamber bills move the exact rate or budget share they promise — "Raise VAT by 1 point" is +1.0 on the VAT slider, "Increase education funding" shifts 1pp of the budget into education, rebalanced across departments exactly as if you'd dragged the slider yourself. Tax acts in Laws & Policies move their rates when they take force — and move them back if repealed. The law toast and archive state the concrete change: "VAT / sales tax 15.0% → 16.0%". Tax changes flow through the same pipe as manual slider changes, so the street reacts once — no hidden double unrest. Autocrat decrees and rubber-stamp chambers hit the same levers; only the process differs, as it should.
