Revolution not working?

How exactly do you tax the middle classes when the only two options are lower class and nobles?

nevermind...I though the taxes were set at low and noble but just looked again. I guess I just cant get the middle class mad without getting the lower class pissed too.

Be careful about that. Take a look at the Policies page to see the correct type of classes your nation has.

Here is the breakdown:
Absolute Monarchy: Upper = Nobility, Lower = Blue Collar Workers

Republic: Upper = Middle Class, Lower = Blue Collar Workers

Constitutional Monarchy: Upper = Nobility, Lower = Middle Class

So if you are playing a republic, increase the taxes of the 'upper' class to get a revolution to convert to CM.

If you are playing an AM, increase the taxes of the 'lower' class to get a revolution to convert to a republic.

If you are playing a CM, increase the taxes of the 'upper' class to convert to AM.

Increasing the opposite taxes will simply cause a rebellion. i.e. Increasing the taxes for the 'lower' class in a republic will result in a rebellion that replaces your current government with another president + cabinet, etc.
