They did not. They rejected the billionaire tax in California. A bunch of temporarily embarrassed billionaires in California protected the rich

Apparently the problem with a country having an annual budget over 7T is more taxes. I'm sure that will fix everything .

The US has not had a "budget" since the 1990s.

The narrative consistently in all the advertisement was that there was some sort of “loophole, which would allow politicians to lower the income threshold at any point without needing a vote”. I probably heard that statement over a thousand times in the past couple months.

That and even Gavin himself got on the pulpit to preach how it was poorly drafted and shouldn’t be passed. I legitimately don’t think I saw a single person or advertisement for it, you’re the first.

Shockingly, some of us have principles other than "government should seize the assets of people I don't like".

This fuels the bro billionaires.
