how is tax calculated?
if happiness goes down tax drops from 20% to 14.. 10 and so on but what does 20% represent? and how is it calculated. ive boosted my population by 30k, and my tax income has hardly increased by 400...

So building type does effect tax collected but the extreme decrease in over all tax revenue as the population increases still isn't explained at least not to my satisfaction. If the happiness of the people changes the tax rate then they are being taxed and not just the buildings owners. Otherwise why would happiness matter. So far the only explanation I have for why the tax revenue is the way it is; is to artificial keep us from earning what we need to play at a pace we expect. At least when compared to the previous simcity games. I'm not complaining just observing here. I pop in and out of the game as I do other things and what not. So the pace doesn't bother me.
I think population has no bearing on anything, other than progression. Think of population as xp. The happiness is a function of the building, not necessarily the people inside of it. The population in the building doesn't increase or decrease based on happiness, unless the building is totally undesirable, then it goes to 0. (I wonder if a deserted building still generates tax). Think of the happiness percentage as how complete a building is. 100% complete has adequate services.
