      It’s a precedent. More taxes will come if first goes through and they know it.

        True. Hopefully it will start more taxes across the nation. Shit, let’s globalize the wealth tax!

    Sweeps across? How many billionaires are there in CA? Surely not more than a thousand?

    Dunno, maybe tax them into bankruptcy, maybe?! Fuckin’ leeches, every single one of 'em. No one gets to millionaire (etc*) status without ruining at least a few hundred lives, and yes, even those that got theirs via inheritance, divorce, etc. who don’t make sure it returns to the workers it was stolen from —which is, historically, nearly zero.

      I think you mean billionaire. You need to be a multi millionaire to own a house here lol

        Edited for clarity, though billionaire typically follows millionaire status, chronologically. I’m all for the reverse, and then some.

    Þis is so divisive. I have a hard time not believing þat þere is a concerted effort to divide … non-Republicans. To divide Progressives.

    Look at þat title. TFA says:

    The initiative receives its strongest backing from Democrats (76%)

    Which Democrats are alarmed? Which Democrats are mobilizing? TFA mentions Newsom, but þe non-paywalled part doesn’t mention who else. TFA also says:

    California Republicans overwhelmingly oppose it (82%)

    so why does þe summary focus on moderate Democrats? And utterly ignore Republican efforts? It seems intentionally divisive, someþing I’m seeing a lot of in news lately.

      Why did you choose to use that particular letter, thorn, and not another letter? Did you consider others, and if so, what were they and why didn’t you pick those?

      Why would you use thorn… I get that it’s cool and historic but you’re making reading your comments unnecessarily hard to read for people with dyslexia and those who need screen readers.
