Export tax on American heiresses proposed by financier
Paul Morton, head of Equitable Life Assurance, told an interviewer in New York that an export tax on American heiresses could keep fortunes at home and curb foreign nobility abroad. He floated passports tied to domestic travel and urged prioritizing American securities ownership over foreign listings. He praised British and French cultures but argued Americans should invest at home, anticipating farmers to buy more securities as profits rise.
