    1. Somehow I don’t think that Newsom is going to be a very strong candidate in 2028.

      Of course he does, none of them think they should have to pay taxes. Remember what Leona Helmsley said, „Only little people pay taxes“. Wealthy & powerful people are not „little people“.

    3. > slap a one-time, 5% tax on roughly 200 Californians worth more than $1 billion to “replace lost federal dollars and protect essential services,”

      Nah that is stupid. We need permanent solutions, not one-time heists.

    4. Tired of politicians, Republicans and Democrats, beholden to Billionaires. Financial support from capitalists says you don’t represent the people.

      Newsom trying to block a billionaire tax makes him look out of touch. People are tired of watching the richest keep their break while everyone else deals with higher bills. You expect a governor to back a plan that brings in needed revenue, not protect folks who already have every advantage.

    6. People are really going to support this Republican loser just because he shapeshifts and has a D next to his name?

      Hopefully the people who got suckered in by his social media team mocking Trump start to see he is *not* the candidate for 2028.

    8. If Dems nominate this dude or Buttigieg, it is all over before it even starts.

      People forgot that Newsom vetoed Universal Medi-Cal for Californians. He’s not a good candidate for presidency. He’ll push more of the same and then people will vote for another crazy like Trump again.

      Americans want change which is why Trump won so much people. He ran on fake populism.

      Tons of bots and a rag media source. Read the comments at your own peril.

      He’s also an AIPAC shill and is in Israel’s pocket so no thanks.

      I commented on an earlier post that Newsom’s grandstanding against Trump and matching Trump’s energy reminded me of Andrew Cuomo (during the pandemic) and got downvoted to hell for it. I think Newsom is the exact same kind of wealthy, elite narcissist as Trump and Cuomo, rhetoric notwithstanding.

      Nobody in this thread read the article. First, it’s the NY post, a Murdoch rag. Second he never said anything.

      > Dan Newman, a political adviser opposing the campaign to tax billionaires, said Newsom is against a plan to slap a one-time, 5% tax on roughly 200 Californians worth more than $1 billion to “replace lost federal dollars and protect essential services,” as described by the campaign’s website.

      I would like one person in this thread to look me in the eye and tell me you’d support taxes on unrealized capital gains. This Newsom article is misleading and he does support taxing billionaires but the conversation thats missing is CAPITAL GAINS.

    15. Ohh the poor billionaires can’t pay anymore taxes! How will their afford their lifestyle???

      What about getting taxed on u realized gains if you take loans on it. Come on.
