Not 1% for 5 years, but a 5% one-time (for now) tax on their entire net worth. Page, Thiel, and most others wouldn't be eligible for the 5-year payment option.

Just calling it a 1% (or 5%) tax, moreover, makes it sound akin to an income tax hike. It's on all assets, not income.

A simpler explainer on the effects. It won’t just be Page and Thiel. It will stop future Googles and Nvidias from even starting in our state.

Why would you be for this?

Unrealized taxes on the fastest growing startups make sure the California dream ends for everyone

Taxes on net worth and unrealized gains should be fought with the same vigor as the taxes that started the American Revolution.

He’s ridden them so long and mocking them. What will they do when they can’t take it away from others later

Exit tax to escape utopia.

They have floated the idea.

Property tax on the market value of your real estate (not your net but the gross value) is even more egregious, yet we all quietly pay 1%, 2%, and even 3% annually.

That’s when I’d resort to the FAFO method of paying an exit tax. I can’t comprehend how that is even remotely legal

Or just ask the Governor of New York how the post-pandemic loss of $13 billion in tax revenue has benefited New Yorkers. Ro is just posturing for the Eat the Rich constituents as he hopes to climb the ladder in his party.

As an aside — and though it may be inconceivable to anyone born after 1980 — less than fifty years ago Ronald Reagan overwhelmingly carried his home state of California.

It not only was a different era, it was a different universe.

The term “California exit tax” is a commonly searched phrase, reflecting a widespread concern among individuals considering a move out of the state. While no single, specific tax is officially named the “California exit tax,” the term generally refers to the various tax considerations and obligations individuals may encounter when changing their residency from California. These considerations involve existing California tax laws that become relevant due to the change in residency.

It’s unenforceable. As long as the exiting billionaire doesn’t own California bonds, he can just leave and go to another state. What are they going to do?

My question is why are Larry Page and Peter Thiel still there? Better late than never I guess.

IDK but I think Illinois tried this and the Supreme Court slapped it down.

Commie-fornia is sinking.

Yuge corporations have pulled out in the just the last few years, taking thousands of high paying jobs with them.

Silicon Valley is turning to ghost towns.

The only thing that is keeping California afloat right now is the MIC (military industrial Complex).

Between the ill-libreals and the illegals, they are destroying the Golden State.

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts.

Where are all the other taxes going? This Massie bro needs to ask why this is needed, and how to stop hitting the same well.

Of course he can be flippant about an eroding tax base, he’s not middle class and he doesn’t get crushed by the Democratic Kleptocracy, he profits from it.
