Yes, I agree that we will probably have to add some more points sometime
soon to make things work.  But I don't want to have to keep on adding more
points indefinetley.  OTOH, I don't want to make it impossible for a
player to win, just difficult.  A 3% tax would take 15 of 500 points per
nweek - not insurmountable but close to the limit of what a player can
gain from proposals alone.  That means you can't win just by being one of
the first people to join, but you can win by creative and skillful play.
