A tax system for all of us

The Green Party proposes six revenue measures and an income tax cut. A 2.5 percent annual tax on net assets over $10 million and a 33 percent tax on inheritances and gifts received over $1 million; a higher company rate for large firms, a levy on the big banks, and enforcement of withholding tax on profits sent offshore; and reversal of the landlord interest deduction and the brightline change. Income tax is cut, with the first $10,000 tax-free and a new 45 percent rate over $160,000.
