@scott@carfree.cityGood news/bad news on California propositions: Props 43 and 45 (make it harder to pass local taxes, and roll back environmental protections) appear likely to fail, but so does the billionaire tax (40), which is underperforming the two sneaky props to override it (41, 42).

@brian_gettler@mas.to@… @… We do 20 in the first 5 minutes. We'll probably end up north of 200. Forget about property taxes, it's the candy tax that really does us in.
@nohillside@smnn.chLet’s tie spectrum access to tax payments and allow all companies to pitch. If they win, they need to pay (significant) taxes in Europe.

Well, then. I guess California is free to stop paying Federal taxes.
@saraislet@infosec.exchangeI don't expect I'll ever have over $10 million total, let alone in one place — but if I did, yeah, tax me Daddy, and lubricate those crumbly potholed roads with some sweet sweet wealth taxes.

@saraislet@infosec.exchangeCalifornia Proposition 41 and 42 advocates are dirty and misleading.
TLDR: prop 40 is a one-time billionaire wealth tax that exempts retirement savings and 401k. Roth IRAs are exempt up to $10 million.
Props 41 and 42 are attempting to block 40 by prohibiting wealth taxes. Their advocates are blatantly misleading voters by implying or saying that prop 40 or future wealth taxes may tax retirement savings.
