>WTF I LOVE BILLIONAIRES NOW
tf is wrong with liberals? do they hate billionaires or love them? how in god's name did californians vote against a one time billionaire tax? this shit should have been a slam dunk in california.
>>
>>545984886
lol are you trying to understand liberals? good luck that's like trying to understand females (which the left can't even figure out what a female is).
>>
Making it a one-time tax was weird. How do you plan services around that?
>>
that was the one tax increase that didn't pass
>>
>>545984886
It has to do with tax being on unrealized gains. It's dumb as fuck because even if you could assess the tax at all, people would have to sell their companies just to pay the tax.
>>
>>545984886

5% was too low tax for billionares.....try 50% next time.
>>
>>545984886
They folded over taxing companies with tariffs, the billionaires here saw that and immediately called Newsom's bluff. Something like 25% already left the state and the left paniced. Turns out, all the radical leftists and rightists today juat wa t to say their opinions, be applauded and then go right back to bitching about the comfy norm they like because then they get to play plucky underdogs their whole lives.
>>
>>545986834
It wasn't about spending or budget. CA is a trillion in debt itself completely seperate from the national debt. Also the wording of the bill left avenues for them to do it again in the future
>>
>>545986997
just like people have to sell their houses to pay property taxes calculated on the unrealized value of their house? it works so well for the poor, why should the rich be exempt?
>>
>>545987240
Yeah, I listened to the All in podcast bitch about this for two years. It was just going to like the teacher's pensions and one other place, I forget. If it had passed, you can be sure other interests would have come for their gibs.
>>
>>545984886
California runs on the tax money from billionaires, without them it's difficult to maintain all the illegal welfare and fraud they got going on in that state since they are sanctuary and stuff. But they were getting greedy and wanted even more money from the rich people, so they started leaving. Many ended up in Texas and turned it blue the motherfuckers.
>>
>>545987240
the funny thing is they're in debt to billionaires. if they just vote to cancel the debt the billionaires get fucked way harder
>>
>>545984886
Despite what idiots will tell you, most democrats in California are the Clinton/Harris type.
Ro Khanna was getting loads of flak for pushing this proposal, and while he did get a significant amount of support for it, the funding against it was monumental.
Newsom himself used the state's 'messages to everyone in the state' system to inform people that proper democrats need to vote NO to this, because he's trying to secure funding for his presidential bid.
>>
>you want lower gas prices, livable wages, affordable groceries and no war?
>just kidding! have millions more migrants and more gun control laws
>>
>>545984886

because nobody not even california liberals are retarded enough to hand over that much tax money to a government that has failed to manifest a high-speed rail line, or even a local tram system for the international airport.
It is the only good decisions we Californians will ever make in this lifetime.
>>

tax goyim instead lmao

i wonder if its just the ultra wealthy in CA are still hippy fags that want to feel good so they vote dem. though would never allow socialism to actually take root knowing it would be their wealth being distributed.

>>545984886
It was a confusing and poorly planned bill. Came off more of just as a Trump, No Kings revenge article with advocates shooting from the hip and vibing then any actual policy with substance behind it. So it was easy for corporations to deflect and defeat it.

Stealing 5% of someone's networth, is stupid.

yeah, i've been there. Whole city looks like my toilet after a night of taco bell. Can't even walk on Market St without witnessing an OD.
MUNI and BART are pretty much sewer pipelines carrying the junkies from one end of the city to the other. Not something to be bragging about, bro.

Everyone can see it coming for them, it would just be a matter of when. The billionaires can flee, but millionaires, especially ones whose net worth is in their home equity, may not be able to.
>>
>>545989018
I used to live in Chula Vista, both San D and San Fran suck ass. You could easily argue that these trams are precisely why you'll never get a high-speed rail support but it's also the added misappropriation of funding by the state.

Well did you vote DSA? Blue dogs are essentially republicans and corporate apologists. As evidenced by the standard democrat response. And here you are policing my speech instead of making it more affordable for me to live. DSA all the way

Those aren't high-speed rail lines lmao
>>
>>545989147
there was no set limit so upper and middle class people were scared the tax would expand to include them.
>>
>>545990026
really? Try getting from sacramento to san jose or oakland in less than 2 hours by car

There's no way voters understood the consequences of stealing money from individuals and business owners to feed to the government.

Anyone who genuinely believes democratsare anti billionaire after sucking on Soros' teat for decades is retarded and/or delusional.

>that divided democrats
Democrats/libshits are the ultimate "I love eating cum and fuckign butts but tax raises on the rich make me scared" party of fake fucking faggots.

>>545984951
it's posturing but in a different direction, like trump calling for 30 million deportations but then scaling it back to maybe a million a year. Except republican voters actually want the policies they posture for, while liberals are trying to make "dad" mad until they remember they're a taxpaying adult and it would probably fuck them over.
>>
>>545989559
This.

>>545990412
they refuse to call prop 42 because they're still finding more no votes

I'll take the exhaust fumes over the sweat, piss and shit smell. Like I said, I thankfully don't live there anymore and I rarely see a traffic jam these days anyway. Californians that live in major cities want utopian systems but don't want to the sacrifice of downsizing in population necessary to attain it, they have too many f-ing people.

I don't miss it. You say shit like this and recognize you need population control mechanisms but reject any opposition to immigration and insist on huddling together for the warmth of partisan voting blocs. It's so easy to see why rurals hate us.

also passed letting spics and niggers buy houses in your neighborhood by taking out a second mortgage as part of the purchase
>>

Wait, so this lets you take a second mortgage out on your home to buy another one?

>how in god's name did californians vote against a one time billionaire tax

They didn't, it's a rigged af state. California makes rigging very obvious because they never seem to vote in favor of taxing the rich, despite being extremely libshit. Suspicious, and you can go back to historical vote outcomes and it always follows this trend in recent votes. Beginning right around the time we switched to mail-in ballots and electronic voting machines...
>>
>>545992595
no, if you're poor/brown you can take out a fixed-rate second mortgage from the state for 17% of the purchase price on the home you're buying, assuming it is new construction and the builder opted in to their retarded "qualified builder" program. you still have to take out a first mortgage to cover the rest
>>
>>545984886
Billionaires would rather spend $50 billion defeating a wealth tax than have to pay a few extra MILLION dollars in taxes. Think about that. It’s insanity. We need a nationwide wealth tax immediately!
