Fuck you, Newsom. Eat shit. You’re not the caliber of politician we need or want, and you never were.

We must always vote for the progressives in local elections to prevent the Newsoms of the world from climbing the ladder

The most important thing to take out of this:

He knows it's bad for his inevitable presidential run he's been focusing on, but he has to do what his wealthy donors want so they keep donating.

If he manages a first term, he'll still do shit like this, because he needs his donors for term 2.

We need a legit grass roots candidate, because when they keep their donors happy, that's doing what's good for average Americans.

He also vetoed a bill that would have kept private equity out of primary care so keeping a primary care physician has been a nightmare in California ever since. He gave PG&E a pass for murdering over 800 people in paradise because they were neglecting maintenance for shareholder profits. PG&E hiked our rates 6 times this year with his cronies approval and they made record profits. He’s slimy and part of the problem. Don’t ever forget that these evil Nazi tech bros came out of California and were enabled by him in his political career every step of the way.

I am hoping we get good candidates to vote for over Newsom, both as governor and presidency. This man is corrupt, and bullies the poor.

finally an issue the centrists can muster the energy to fight about.

A ONE-TIME tax is still too much for them! Incredible. Meanwhile there are people who expect to discharge 5% of their money on a one-time expense such as needing chemotherapy, or paying their phone bills. Market gains would likely recoup the entire 5% for the billionaires after about 12-18 months. But even this is just unacceptable for them.

We can not let Gruesome Newsom win the Democratic primary. Even if you don't think there are going to be the 2026 midterms/2028 election: Register as a Democrat (or check here to see how you need to be registered to participate in your state's primaries) and vote for a progressive in the 2028 Democrat primaries.

Billionaire math

Average USA billionaire has about $7b in wealth. 

2026 * 365 ‎ = 739,490

$7,000,000,000 / 739,490‎ = $9,465.98

You would need to make $9k per day, for 2026 years, to catch up to the average billionaire wealth right now. 

It’s estimated in 2026 that it would cost $37b to end world hunger until 2030. 

Also note that Musk, Bezos, and other extreme billionaires are up to 100x of the average here ($700b for Musk). Who is making $900k per day? 

This is not natural, it’s not rational, and it’s completely bullshit. You can come up with whatever distraction you want (“wealth & income aren’t the same”), but we should be taxing every dollar above $1b at 99% or higher. 

30 years * 365 day = 10,950

$1,000,000,000 / 10,950 ‎ = $91,324.20

I could easily live off of $91k per DAY for 30 YEARS. 

If you put these numbers against a human time scale we can understand, I don’t see the argument for this level of wealth, especially not as people go hungry, without clothes or food, and children die.

In interviews this week, Newsom cited billionaires who are shifting away from the state – such as Page and Brin, with whom he has longstanding relationships

Oh no not your personal connections! What ever will the career politician do when its his turn to rake in lobbyist money :( Please god dont let this man be the dem candidate in 28

As is already well known for most, USA only has 2 right wing parties, Democrats that are "normal" right wing. and Republicans that are extreme right wing, and has gone more and more insane over the past few decades.

There can be no doubt among normal reasonable people, that the wealth of the richest people in USA is insane now, and needs to be reigned in.

Of course an annual federal tax to achieve this would be preferable, but since that obviously isn't happening anytime soon, it is up to the states. No one needs to have $1 billion, no one even needs a tenth of that.
The rich are so sociopathic they believe they are entitled to this, and then they call people working 2 jobs entitled for wanting a living wage and healthcare!

It's disgusting that this has become normalized, it is not normal! It is sociopathic, and only a sociopathic society would allow this, and at the same time have extreme poverty. This is not about making an efficient economy, it's 100% about the sick entitlement of the rich.

“My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.”

Oh, he's still not the preordained nominee yet? Still has to prove to the party who his owners are?

The controlled opposition party won't meaningfully reform the corporatism that got us in this mess? No fucking shit.

If it doesn't turn out that man was made in Madame Tussaud's famous workshop, I will eat my hat.

Gavin is such a god damn chode motherfucker. Democrats are limp-dicked bitches that keep voting to allow themselves to be constantly be cucked by these corporate-fascist democrats, or allow Republicans to continue to convince them banning guns and remaining unarmed while asking politely will convince conservatives to stop being Christian fascists.

I bet this chud cries in the dark as he listens to old Kirk podcasts

Slickity dickity wickity Snippety dippity whippity. I tell ya. I am so shocked by this.

If I get a chance I will vote for this tax.

Good! The LAST Thing I wanted was for Homeless Mothers to have SOME Sort of Social Security Net! I think INSTEAD those Homeless Mothers should pay MORE in Tax so we can Afford even MORE Tax Dodging Billionaires in the State!
