The high taxes came before he was president because people had a lot of SIM and wanted to sell off to invest in other things as well. Had been no announcements for 3rd edition and people were waiting.
Now that 3rd edition is within 2 weeks away now, we are closing in on people buying up a lot more SIM so they are ready for release. Hoping to see a much higher price again and the income tax will start coming down again and we all get more daily SIM.
