California Gov. Gavin Newsom Helping Pro-Trump Billionaires Fight One-Time Tax on Billionaires (Prop 40) That Would Pay for Health Care for Californians newsvideoclip.com/california-g...

As an added bonus, maybe those greedy assholes will leave California too

Sure is disappointing that Newsome is against this tax...he appears to be a "MAGA" by doing so...😢

Yes on Prop 40 California! No on 41 and 42!

just to be clear, this man is a traitor and is waltzing you into mass murder.

just to be clear, this is a mass murder event, and this talking corpse thinks the leopards won't eat his grand-kids faces at Dilley if he excretes this bile.

This man is being paid with the promise of saving his familiars by selling you into mass murder. They have your stupid ass surrounded. They have us now. They are full force now. They are here for blood, not power.

Amazing they have spent more than if they just paid the damn tax in the first place

I read the text of the proposition and no where does it state it would apply to anyone whose worth is less than $1bn.

If it is a retroactive tax then isn't it a ex post facto law which is explicitly prohibited by the us constitution? I'm in favor of taxing the billionaires but that sets off the facially-unconstitutional alarm

But they’ll spend hundreds of millions fighting it, rather than just pay it!

This one’s going to be close

✅ Government, and CA government in particular, cannot be trusted to spend tax payers $. ✅ If anyone believes it's a one time tax they're a moron. ✅ CA has plenty of $ for healthcare. They simply need to end massive waste, fraud and abuse, and stopping proving free healthcare to mass migrants.

The tax, a ONE TIME RETROACTIVE TAX they would have to pay is ONLY 5%. Billionaires currently do not pay tax, they use every trick in the book to avoid contributing to America's economy, sustainability or future. They are dedicated to increasing their own wealth to to detriment of others.

Meanwhile, Newsom the fascist transphobe is pushing for prop 42

Attn: California VOTE YES ON PROP 40 !

They aren’t worth that amount of money, they HAVE that amount of money.

The ultimate software patch for wealth inequality: a one-time retroactive update to the tax code. Let’s see if the billionaires’ lawyers can find a loophole in the legacy hardware.

I see so many people defending the billionaires and all I can think is, why? I can guarantee they aren't billionaires. Maybe bots or paid commentors. We used to tax harder and they were still stupid rich. Stop voting against yourself people. Have you learned nothing from MAGA?

I don’t even live in California and I voted yes on 40 and no on 41 and 42. Just kidding.

And Gav u little backbiting prick, fu.

Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money

We need a fair tax code.

Remember Gavin Newsome opposes it

Oh hello, Russian bot guy

Have you noticed...here's a Prop that both REPUBLIKLAN AND DIMOCRAT BILLIONAIRES can join in OPPOSING... (so, you see, when it comes to hard cash...Democrats are just as greedy evil as REPUPKLANS)... HYPOCRISY...thy stench has NO party limits!)

Voted YES on my ballot and mailed it, today.

$$$ He knows where his comes from..

Newsom has hung around billionaires for decades. I remember him hanging with the Getty family long before he ran for local office here in San Francisco. Newsom's father was lawyer for them or something. He needs their money to run for president.

DAMN! Health care shouldn’t be so expensive AND “communities” (families, tribes, cities, states) have a role to play in wellness. Easy to say “that person can afford to pay for us.” Great until the logic is turned on yourself. The fundamental problem isn’t solved. A sustainable solution is needed.

THIS ⬆️ !!!

They want us all to be their slaves, wage or otherwise. They won't settle for anything. Wealth Cap! $100M maximum, with 100% tax on all assets above. Got 100M? You win capitalism! You get to retire and/or work on your altruism. This is a first step.

Not onerous.

“They” are playing the Vote No on 40 ad nauseam on YouTube. Seriously, on repeat one right after the other….over and over. Stay strong!

Maybe california should work on all the tax fraud and they wouldn't need to raise anyone's taxes.

No bot - real person here who really wants to tax billionaires and deeply disappointed about how poorly this policy has been designed.

"Focus needs to be nat’l" That's just a recipe for further inaction. By all means, let's do NATIONAL as well but for now California should lead.

And NO on 41 and 42.

Voting YES! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Prop 40: YES Prop 41 & 42: NO! Got it? Prop 40 is the billionaire tax. Vote hell YES! Prop 41 & 42 are a plot to undermine the tax– vote big ass NO!

Tax them again

The billionaire club will say “This will be the first step…” If they ACTUALLY GAVE JUST “ONE SHIT” they would…on an individual basis…be funding MULTIPLE PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAMS vs buying “one more yacht”… They’ll bail on CA yet still manage to find subterfuges to continue “visiting” Cali places

Prop 40 Wealth Tax voting decision Flowchart: 1) are you a billionaire? NO-- vote Yes in your own self interest, YES--vote Yes to lessen the hatred of your socio-economic class, to be a good human being, and stay very wealthy anyways

And this isn’t nearly enough. Time to go back to the 90% tax we had before Reagan. That’s when the country started swirling down the drain.

They would hardly notice it missing just pure greed and selfish as hell.Its quite pathetic to watch lengths they go to hoard every cent.

Reich is a LIAR. Wealth Tax is unconstitutional, the gain has not been recognized, but that does not stop Leftists, they will tax anything, then WASTE the MONEY, and call people who want accountability RACISTS! Try this, before you want increased taxes get rid of all the Somali Fraud.

Reich wants more money turned over to the government so they can BUY CONTROL and BUY Votes. When has the Government ever had a tax, claimed it was temporary and left it that way. Remember Income Taxes, Gas Taxes, Real Estate Taxes. None were designed to grow into the behemoths they have become.

Vote yes on 40 but vote no on both 41 & 42.

I did. And any Californians on this-write, call or text your House rep to get out and endorse it. Ro Khanna is the only one standing up to the oligarchs in the greater bay area. From my rep, Jimmy Panetta?! Crickets, grrrr. Also, same with our 2 senators. Our gov is selling us out to his $$bros

#California Yes on 40

YES on 40 !!! 👍

I voted Yes!

Dude: can we do at least one thing right, California? Get your head out of your ass on this one.

It's money the oligarchs stole anyway

Nope

I did vote for it, but was disappointed at how weak a measure it actually is. We need to go back to the marginal tax rates of the 1950s and 1960s.

The biggest problem with prop 40 is it doesn’t go far enough. We should absolutely vote for it, but next time, make it even stronger.

It's the first step.

And don’t they have 5 years to pay that one time tax?

One-time? It should be permanent.

Correct. It is Yes on 40 and no on the next two.

I voted Yes!

In two years, can we add a zero? I think a 50% tax would be quite reasonable.

Yes on 40 and No on 41 and 42

tax OLD people, come on - they do NOT need this money - they already get Medicare. WTF

Vote Yes on proposal 2 in Michigan. Get $ out of politics. Vote early.

And they need to pay a more progressive tax addresses, their increasing wealth, not just a paycheck.

I would also like to say that all those tech Bros made all those billion dollars in California yet still don’t wanna pay tax. Of course now you got them scared little pussies running away like Peter THEIL running to Argentina because he’s scared I don’t know which one I hate more musk or him.Theil

 I keep getting text messages and advertisements that want people to vote no and they use old people so I’ve already decided I’m voting yes but there are many other vague issues that I don’t know how to vote, but I will spend the day tomorrow reading all of California’s propositions

And to be completely clear - you MUST vote NO on 41 and 42, which will kill 40, even if it passes if either of them pass. Those other two were DESIGNED to kill 40.

Done

#YesOn40 #NoOn41&42

They are fighting this big time!!

Glad you broke that down. I was thinking Newsome was just another silver spoon that was against taxes. Thanks for clearing that up!

Of course yes but it’s still P weak.

So the 5% is on their current wealth, not their annual income? Oh, I love it! But the number everyone should be focusing on is the 95% left over, because the 95% they get to keep is multitudinous times more than the income left after 100% of non-billionaires have paid their taxes.

All states should do the same.

can't it's an ex post facto law the constitution strictly forbids such a thing. just cuz these traitors and seditionists aren't following our supreme law doesn't mean we should follow suit.

Why does this plan that purports to go after the rich look a lot more like a blow job for the rich? Lack of ambition isn't worth a cent. They should pay what they owe on 100% of their income, nothing less.

Yep the ads lie and I’m not hearing anyone not on Bluesky talking about 41 and 42

already voted yes!

Yes yes yes!!
