He actually laughed when he was confronted with how he had the streets cleared of years of human waste for the president of China but didn’t do it for the taxpayers.

So does the Governor of the "California of the Midwest" state of Illinois, JB Prickster. Er, I'm sorry ... "Pritzker."

He’s an all time loser he couldn’t venn beat Harris for her job.

There is no ass he won’t kiss to get a fed job.

“... 220 billionaires residing in California in 2025. “

If they unified and pooled their resources in opposition to California, Who’d win?

If he has unlimited tax power, how about a retro tax on everyone who never lived in CA?

I vacated in California for about a week, maybe 40 years ago. Now I’m ascared Gavin will eventually try to tax me.

Just to be safe, I think I’m going to legally change my last name to Pelosi.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I can respect your question, but you know people vote on two things: Their wallet and their feelings about a person.

Bill Clinton was a loser of an Arkansas governor, but he won the instant he said, “I care about your children more than you do”.

I used to argue that Newsome’s nuttiness was exaggerated because CA managed to somehow run an impressive surplus to show for it.

Then, in no time flat, gone like the wind.

Amazing feat.

There’s so much money/wealth in this state even Newsome can’t screw it up.

And that’s saying something.

They used to tax the pensions of the retired that earned them in California then retired to a different State. So if they moved to AZ they would be taxed on their pension in AZ & CA.

Congress made that illegal and the courts upheld it.

“The “2026 Billionaires Tax Act” would impose a one-time 5% tax on individual wealth exceeding $1 billion.”

One-time! Right.

I think it’s more than just that. Bill Clinton was the “cool” candidate, smooth and quick with a smile.

He got a lot of votes for that alone.

Back in the 1990s, California had a tax on all pensions regardless of whether you continued to live in the state after retirement. IOW, earn even a portion of a pension while working in California and that state insisted they had the right to impose a tax. USSC said other wise.

As will Greasy Gavin, from people who do not know of him today.

By the end of 2025, it’s likely far worse and virtually no one trusts state government’s estimates.

I, for one, trust the dulcet tones coming out of gabby Gavin's mouth.

How could you not trust a man who says whatever he thinks you want to hear?

All those folks could spend 4% individually suing california for that, and probably come out ahead.
