    House lawmakers weigh proposed 'wealth tax' on assets over $10 million
    ...

    The proposal basically is to levy an annual 1% tax on "taxable wealth" above $10 million, where "taxable wealth" is calculated the same method as that calculated for federal estate tax.

      Something like 8 states are pushing this.

          I don’t think it can stand. There’s a justification for property taxes as properties use and require government services. One cannot say the same for wealth.

            I agree. Seems like it is a bad idea.

            I doubt that anybodies parents told them that "I hope you grow up to be poor."

              Nor income, yet we have broadly accepted “income tax.”
