California’s proposed one-time billionaire wealth tax was trailing in early election returns Wednesday morning, while Prop 42, which would prevent any future similar measures from getting on the ballot, is ahead by over eight points.

Not only did the billionaire tax fail in California, but prop 42, to amend the California constitution to forbid the introduction of taxes on personal property (investment accounts, art) for the wealthy in the future, backed by greaseball Gavin Newsom, seems to have passed.

    If I read that with the comprehension skills of some of the dumbasses I’ve met in my life: “Say yes to help Levi’s jeans company get 5% of 1 billion of taxpayer (that’s me) money. The rest is just legal speak.” = hell naw I ain’t give that much money to them I don’t even like those jeans.
