Consider a federal tax program based on net worth rather than income.

Created by R.B. on November 17, 2012

Base the US tax code on net worth rather than income tax.
A 3% net worth tax would replace the current income tax. Upon reaching retirement age reduce the tax to 0.3%.
Net worth values are already readily available and such a tax approach could easily be phased in as a progressive yet single rate system with all subject to contributing.
