Some of the most progressive and equal countries in Europe including France, Sweden and Finland, operate a wealth tax and it works. Unlike this proposed family home tax, a wealth tax would be easier to administer and could be collected with regard to people's ability to pay. Members should not be under any illusions. This is a family home tax. It should be opposed and I hope the Senators oppose it.
