Maximum Allowable Tax Increase Assumption...Too Small?

Submitted by pharri1244@aol.com on 20 August 2009 - 11:38am

I see that version 2.15.1 caps the allowable tax increase in the assumptions tab to a max of 25%. In all my ESPlanner scenarios over the years, I've always assumed taxes would increase at least 40% over the long run. I thought 40% was not unreasonable based on a lot of analyses that have been referenced to in the media. What is the reason for the 25% cap? Do you think long term increases greater than that are beyond the realm of possibility? Or is there a software limitation issue? Thanks.

I ran into a problem testing it and set it arbitrarily to 25%. I'll reset back to max -100 to +100
