One Percent Net Worth Tax Proposed by Bacharach
Representative Bacharach of New Jersey suggests a one percent net worth tax as an alternative to sales taxes. He says it could raise over a billion dollars annually with a $10,000 exemption per person, while favoring the sales tax as simpler and more effective for revenue and prosperity. Charles E. Lord of New York supports a one percent turnover tax, arguing it could yield substantial revenue though estimates vary with prices.
