Supporters argue it is equitable, shifting tax from necessities to wealth, while critics fear cost and abuse of administration. John DeWitt Warner of New York champions the measure citing district wealth and worker support.

Plan for Revenue Tax Proposes Corporate Income Levy
The proposal discusses greatly increasing imports to fund deficits, suggesting a revenue tax on net corporate incomes rather than a broad income tax. It notes treasury certificates as interim funding and cites corporations as the primary revenue source due to their earnings and legislative benefits. The plan would apply a flat tax on corporate net earnings, with a separate levy on secession and legacies.
