If you turn on your TV, you'll see lies claiming Prop 40 is a Trojan Horse and will come for everyone. Gabriel Zucman explains why this is false, and why we need a wealth tax, not just an income tax, on billionaires.
Vote YES on Prop 40
Vote NO on Props 41 & 42
James Talarico: “We’ve all been focused on the wrong 1%. You heard a lot about trans people in this race, they’re 1% of the population. You’ve heard about Muslims in this race from Republicans, they’re 1% of the population. Even undocumented immigrants are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1% because the only minority destroying America is the billionaire class and it’s time that we tax them, make them pay their fair share so we can invest in education and healthcare”
It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high.
These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes.
Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something.
And here we go again.
Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired.
The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.
Asked by a Texas voter what legislation he'd introduce to combat rising costs, Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico recalled finding out he has Type 1 diabetes and his shock at the cost of insulin. "I want to roll back the cuts to the Affordable Care Act... I believe that health care is a human right."

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
I can’t believe we have to say this, but the annihilation of two major American cities — more than 5 million people — is not a “small price to pay” for Trump's illegal war.
Neither are the 19 American troops and 3,000+ Iranians who lost their lives.
Our president is unhinged.
Pope Leo is right.
Art is not some kind of superfluous luxury that can be eliminated from our lives. It is a crucial part of the human experience.
We cannot let Big Tech oligarchs destroy it.
California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax is THE most important ballot initiative in the country.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes.
@RoKhanna I would love to talk to you about how @GovPressOffice@CAgovernor is giving away CA state park land to the billionaire that owns the Dodger Stadium parking lots.
