News flash for all these ignoramuses who have NO personal experience helping “homeless” people: Most homeless people WANT to be homeless.

Some guy 2000 years ago with divine insight stated the poor will be with us always. This is an opportunity for INDIVIDUALS to help the poor, not for voters to insist other people’s money helps the poor.

BEFORE Ahnuld even ran for CA Gov, he rallied for and won to have a law for a 1% income tax increase for anyone making a million dollars or more so the state could provide breakfast at public schools for the children of illegal Mexicans.

one half of one percent does not matter to most with that kind of money.

a lot of them don’t even know how much they make. As long as the going hand has more than the going out hand they are good to go.

Yes, this is why (and typical) of what the liberal voting base is doing to Taxifornia. They are destroying the last few good things about the state. Stinking DemocRATs just keep TAKING to feed their power base.

You’re right. Plus the wealthy tend to be Democrats anyway. They won’t tax their own.

And "if" and "when" they collect such a tax it will immediately be SPENT on something else other than helping the homeless.

I foresee 250-300 millionaires moving their legal residence.

Your move L.A.
