      Wait until TX finds out what it’s like to be the host for these leaches.

      He might say he lives there, but coming from Texas, I can say he will choose to spend his time somewhere cooler.

      The language for the proposed tax applies to anyone who was a CA resident at the beginning of 2026, so this is likely not going to help. Also, there are groups funded by the rich trying to get other ballot measures included on the ballot as ‘poison pills’ to kill the billionaire tax measure. These are framed as ‘budget transparency and waste reduction’ but would in fact protect the rich. Don’t fall for it!

      [Article on rich-funded ballot measure – don’t fall for it](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/poison-pill-effort-cancel-proposed-120000917.html)

      Edit to add: The propaganda from the ‘Californians for a More Transparent and Effective Government’ group tries to argue (shamefully, in my opinion) that government spending to combat homelessness is wasteful:

      “Government has wasted billions of our tax dollars on homelessness and many other failed programs with little to show for it”

      While I’m sure they would be fine with handouts and incentives to the rich. Disgusting. Again, please don’t sign petitions for this deceitful measure trying to protect billionaires.

      Edit 2: This person is claiming they changed states in late December, not in 2026, to avoid the residency date.

      If we had a national tax like this we could get them to leave the country.

      I guarantee these tax evaders are already spending 50% + 1 day of their year ‚residing‘ in a low/no tax state.

      Are any of these people actually „fleeing“ in the sense that they’re changing where they spend the majority of their time?

      Or are they just purchasing their 20th mansion in a tax haven and then claiming it as their primary residence?

      What a loser. To live in one of the most beautiful places in the world but to leave over paying a portion of money that they will never be able to spend to taxes. 

      You’ve won the game of capitalism and you can’t give a penny back to society. Absolute loser.

      I hope they all leave California and take their money with them. Taxing these people won’t ever work when they can just go somewhere else. The working man will end up paying

      Imagine having billions of dollars. Literally more than you could ever even comprehend spending within multiple generations. And rather than paying a little more to benefit the state that you live in, you’d rather move.

      I get that the answer from the billionaire would be “why should I trust the corrupt government with spending my money properly?”

      And I’d ask back -“ok, why haven’t you independently donated that amount or more back into causes within the community or state that you live would see major benefit from?

      Why not take care of the place around you a bit if you’ve hit a wealth accumulation where you’re literally just hoarding resources.

      I think we forget that just because some of these folks are brilliant and deserve massive amounts of money, it doesn’t mean they’re brilliant and understand how that wealth should be distributed.

      I wouldn’t ask the most talented violinist in the world to hand build me a violin. Expertise, even in adjacent areas dos not equate to expertise in all areas.

      Just wtf….I don’t get it, all these people fighting a billionaire tax in one way or another…..could they not still get/do any and everything they want?

      Theatrics. They own homes in multiple states. There’s no fleeing. He’ll maintain a home in California regardless.

    22. BankshotMcG on

      Oh no. What will California do now without a psychopathic megalomaniac breaking taxi laws to exploit people, who already wasn’t paying his fair share of taxes anyway? The whole state is adrift.

      All of California rn: „DONT LET THE FUCKING DOOR HIT YOU ON YOUR WAY OUT YOU FUCKING LEECH🖕🖕“

      if they do not want to contribute to infrastructure in California, they should not benefit from infrastructure in California.

      These are the kinds of people that republicans defend— cowards that are unwilling to pay their fair share to help support the community that made them successful.
