"Pretending to propose his own national solution is clearly a cynical smoke screen to let California billionaires off the hook," argues the Billionaire Tax Now campaign as it seeks to counter "5 tricks" being deployed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and his allies.
If this wasn’t California, I might somewhat agree with your statement. These people aren’t going anywhere, because the California coast is obscenely beautiful. Some might leave, but the majority will stay since the tax will end up just being a tiny inconvenience for their level of wealth.
California loses more people each year than live in the entire state of Wyoming, and that’s normal. If you know people that moved states for lower taxes, then I doubt they are billionaires. Why are you, someone who lives outside of California, so invested in a proposed law for a place you don’t live? I don’t live there either, but I don’t care about where billionaires live. I’m just pointing out that it’s mostly empty threats. Remember when Mamdani passed a tax on secondary residences and people threatened to leave? Guess what happened.
I think people on here like to shit all over Newsom for BS reasons. This headline is a great example. He’s against a statewide wealth tax, which makes sense for the reasons I gave. We can agree to disagree, that’s fine.
But has he come on against nationwide wealth tax? I don’t think so. I don’t honestly know what he stands for (which is a legitimate complaint).
He didn’t support Ben Shapiro. I’ve listened to all his controversial podcast and found them very enlightening. I would rather listen to a Democrat interview these people that suck than listen to them on Joe Rogan, or anything like that.
Covering your eyes and ears to these people is exactly how we got 4 more years of Trump.
Problem with your perspective is you assume these people aren’t already normalized. Newsom began his podcast for basically this reason (after Trump got elected btw).
Most people on the left don’t know who these people are and how big of an impact they are already making. You might want to close your eyes and pretend it isn’t happening, but I appreciate having this as a way to hear these people without having to follow right wing sources that just blindly agree and give no real challenge.
Well, you can entertain white nationalist Nazi genocidal maniacs but I’m good. Deplatforming this shit is paramount because of the paradox of intolerance.

I live in a red state and have met tons of people they left California tor tax purposes. I guarantee the state will lose money from doing this.

He hosted Ben Shapiro on his podcast. That alone tells you everything you need to know about him.

Nope normalizing these people is how we got four more years of Trump jfc.
