Paying tax results in negative cash - should force player to mortgage

Yes, I was thinking that could be a user story for next time.  (Negative cash 
also
results from rent payments).  I think the updateCash function will probably 
have to
spawn a new screen that forces the player to downgrade/mortgage their 
properties.  If
they still have a negative cash balance at the end, make them leave the game and
distribute their assets appropriately.  The game would eventually result in 
only a
single player and we would need some sort of congratulations screen to end the 
game.

I don't think the current PropertySelectionPanel will work because it doesn't 
place
an emphasis on the urgency of the situation. It doesn't let the player know 
that if
they exit the screen before they have a positive cash flow they will be ejected 
from
the game.

Basically, I don't think that the implementation is trivial and probably 
warrants a
user story.

Let me know if you think there is an easier solution.
