Maybe this is a plan to bolster the California real estate market.
Still laughing.....
Nice to see socialism is not dead.
Get a friggin job, support yourself and your family, If you havent noticed this is a capitolist society, it is apparent you are unable to function, your personel issues are just that personel! move to a south American country and try this crap with them.
As often as the left harps about Republican “tax cuts for the rich”, it’s about time they finally get around to taxing the rich. We’ll see how those rich Hollywood leftist elitists feel about having their wealth taxed for the very first time.
The “pay as you leave” tax, IMHO, would not stand up to scrutiny as an imposition on freedom of movement between states - a constitutional issue.

taking away assets if one chooses to move is the same as conducting a prison system whereby no one in, no one out.
Why don’t the just get taxes from the illegals who do not pay income taxes. This would be billions.
And this is why people are fleeing California for states like Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.
The problem is that many are liberals that will demand the same tax policies in their new states that screwed up their old states.
I sure wish that would pass. It obviously has no chance whatsoever but it would be great to see the exodus from the state that would follow. The only thing left would be “Activists” and poor people.
Totalitarianism presented, once again, by the leftists.
A California “Activist”
THat is the next level up from “Community Organizer.”
I don’t see the expected parody or satire markings.
Yet another economic genius
Unless a wealth tax goes into effect the instant the vote count shows it to have won there is a period of time when it is known to be coming and has not yet arrived. California just might dewealthify in that time, be it a month or a year. Actually I would love to see it happen. We need an object lesson for any other states that might like to try that sort of inanity and as for California, well, it couldn’t happen to a nicer state.

It's hard to tell if this is a serious proposal, but either way it's going to expose the limosine liberals for the frauds that they are. We all knew it was only a matter of time before the left was going to turn on it's own dishonest rhetoric. We've seen it with the affirmative action presidential candidate Obama (re: Clinton supporters crying foul over racism charges) and we saw it this week when they turned on their own notions of feminism, sexism, and motherhood.
The rich liberal left in California is going to have to either make an argument against higher taxes or get out of the state, either way the the point about taxes being bad is made.
I hope this is an honest attempt by a communist nutcase and that California citizens and this country is forced to have an honest debate about taxes.
Why limit the tax on anything over $20 million. Why not just lower it to anything over $0.
I have a 5 year plan that will fix everything.
In 5 years I will pay off all my property debt, and then I can leave this state, with much sadness because it is the place of my birth and my home all my life. But it’s beyond all recognition now.
About 2 years ago I was at the councilman’s office for a “party” - he was hosting an art exhibit for artists in his district and yes he is a democrat. I never heard more antisemitic comments at a single gathering in my life. Granted this was by the attendees not the councilman (who, ironically, is Jewish!) but some of the art was clear propaganda and it got the crowd riled up about Jews, Neocons (which, I firmly believe has become code for “jewish controlled government”) etc., etc.
I pray God will show me the way. I’m thinking South Carolina, Alabama, maybe Texas... or maybe France. In 5 years France could very well be to the right of us.
Exit tax. “Now yourself can’t leave “.
