I personally do not recommend raising your taxes up to 100%.  When
your people riot they kill each other and destroy mines, factories, and
defenses you spent good supplies and money on.  With fewer people you have
less taxes in the future, less colonists, and less people to pilot your
capital ships of destruction :)
	I'd consider trying raising your taxes up to 30% or so for a turn
and then dropping it back down to a reasonable rate the next turn.  Not
that I do that Matt (in case you are reading this and trying to figure
out how to get the upper hand on me :)  )  This is just a little insight
I hope helps.  Good luck.
	Oh.  As to my favorite race, I like the Cylons.  Fighters rock!
