California’s billionaires are wealthier than they’ve ever been.

Meanwhile, millions of poor and working-class Californians are struggling to make ends' meet.

I visited LA years ago, one of the things that struck me was people living in cardboard boxes under freeway bridges, while million-dollar cars drove by overhead.

No more wealth tax. That ship sailed.

It’s time to take all their wealth by force.

If I were a multi-billionaire, I'd want to live in a utopia, and I'd be willing to pay for it. A place where everyone one had enough and was pursuing their dreams. That, and a metric shit ton of wilderness, with a biodiversity thick, wide, deep and complex.

There in lies the problem, you're not "path" (psycho, socio) and think the world is a better place where everyone gets to live their best life. The hoarders of wealth are missing the humanitarian part of their brains. It's sincerely a mental health issue and it's why laws need to be implemented.

It makes sense since it prevents the poor from robbing people out of desperation. The utopia is the place without need & desperation that creates an environment that causes robbery & burglary.

The problem is that the people who can achieve billionaire status are the people who are willing to (and do) trample on the lives of others to get there. You have too much kindness and humanity in you to ever be a billionaire

Tru dat!

If you don't tax wealth you're going to get oligarchic freeloaders! And more tax ✂️'s for the top 0.1%.

Majority of these billionaires do nothing to reduce income & wealth inequality.

They drive down wages, kill unions, with big tech laying off workers like wildfire.

Wealth hoarding at the level of the oligarchs is a mental illness. Their only purpose in life is to make more money. Nothing, LITERALLY nothing else matters to them.

"It's time to tax the rich."

Agreed.

Only why not structure the tax rates to enable the funding you describe vs this one-time hit that almost certainly, if lucrative, would not be the last? Why be haphazard with revenue when revenue can be structured and planned?

All billionaires have much more money than they will ever need or use - while people are struggling to make ends meet while working to enrich billionaires even further. It’s no more than a pathetic pissing contest.

Interestingly, the current governor who has aspirations for the presidency is fighting against taxing these very same billionaires! Gavin Newsom has been selling Californians out throughout his political career! This is the same ASS who was out partying while the rest of us were in COVID LOCKDOWN!

A government that refuses to tax the wealthiest will quickly lose legitimacy. The people will refuse to pay its taxes, they will refuse to contribute to its defense, and soon they will find new leaders and create their own governments.

It's a small step at a state level, but it really should be done at a federal level because otherwise the rats are just going to leave to escape any accountability.

It's the 5% part that drives me insane.

Giving up FIVE lousy percent of their net worth will not affect their lives in any way, shape of form. They can still buy whatever they want, invest in whatever they want, fund whomever they want and conduct whatever evil their black hearts desire.

It's 5%!!

Eff 5% they should be taxed at the same rate every other citizen is. If there's to be a scale it's moving in the opposite direction. Less for single parents working 3 jobs, not princesses who are on their third mega yacht and home in every continent.
