It’s official: The proposed California Billionaire Tax Act, which last week was ++certified++ for November’s election, has a ballot designation—Proposition 40.
“The people of California now have the opportunity to decide what kind of future they want,” Service Employees International Union-United ++HealthcareWorkers++ West (SEIU-UHW) vice president Debru Carthan ++said++ on Thursday.
The state budget will take a hit (how big is anyone’s guess).
Because a federal tax is the way to do it, and people are tired of waiting.
So. Assuming it passes, and why wouldn’t it - it’s like a prop titled “kick Elon in the nuts”: more money for nurses, less for schools and roads and, ironically, nurses.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
