I can’t believe California rejected it.

quote:

A punitive one-time tax on California billionaires via Proposition 40 is heading for defeat, multiple news organizations forecast Monday.

It took nearly a week of counting votes after last week’s midterm election to determine a projection on the measure.

AFP notes the imposition would have forced some 200 billionaires in the state to part with up five percent of their total net worth as a penalty for their business success. CNN and CBS News both projected Proposition 40 would fail after voters cast ballots on whether to approve the divisive tax penalty on wealth creators.

The measure has garnered a massive amount of pushback, even from many Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who warned the measure could backfire and drive wealth from the state.

Executive Order inbound?

No idea how Calif politics actually work, but assuming the 'will of the people' is immaterial and plays no real part of state law creation.

Already drove some wealth from the state from just the realization that it would be on the ballot.

Just a dumb move overall by California

proposition may not have passed but the negative effects of the proposal will have its impact. there was a mass exodus of billionaires and their reoccurring tax base that left when it was put on the ballot.....

a number of pundits were saying if passed the tax would have a newt revenue effect. they said many would leave taking their reoccurring taxes and that the one tie theft, i mean tax, would not cover the long term loss in revenue. no they have the loss in long term revenue without the on time theft.....

When Californians voted down the tax, did they also vote out the people who pushed it?

Or was it another example of people not being able to think past the first order?

I was shocked that it was even proposed and supported by elected officials and very happy to see it rejected

World class stupid
