The Share Our Weath program proposed that no person would be allowed to accumulate personal net worth of more than 300 times the avarage family fortune, limiting fortunes to 5 to 8 million. Additionally, extra taxes would be charged to all people with the net worth of over 1 million. Incomes would be limited to 1 million per year. Inheritances would be limited to 5.1 million.
