Money should go to a special account the government can use. Like the mayor. Maybe even the commissioner. Then they can distribute the funds accordingly. Like to the cops for supplies, or for public works stuff, many possibilities. Maybe give the mayor the ability to do a special command for those things that would require the money ending up in no one in praticualr's hands, like /govcofdest # (for government coffer destroy).
And either have those people mentioned above able to check how much is in those coffers at the bank, or depending on who has access to it, the mayors office only (like a spot on the wall or something), or whatever.
Money can even be used to help MCF with the funds it needs to hand out loans.
Better than relying on admin to create and destroy money.
Very good, except that banks aren't government property, but, yes, as of right now, the only way I can see funding is that its coming out of my bank account (I have no problem with that, it's just that theres only 17k in there.) Maybe I could get some sort of budget a day that could add up? (Because the government does have taxes, etc. which isn't really fitted for a video game.)
EDIT1:Don't believe me? Look here:
http://www.census.gov/govs/www/statetax07.htmlEDIT2: My city's population is 96,265. If everyone got taxed $200, the government would receive $19,253,000. New York City's population is 8,274,527. If they taxed everyone $100 in New York City, they would receive $827,452,700.
EDIT3:Total state and local taxes averaged $3,015 per person in 2005 in
Austin, Texas.
EDIT4:That above would make my city receive $290,238,975 from taxes alone.
EDIT5: The IRS said that in 2003, they received $1,952,929,045,000 in gross collections. (
