TAX THE RICH. (Does it beat eating them? You tell me)



Who's against the "billionaire tax" (a ballot initiative, see below and take action)

"I'm rich AND beautiful!"

A Google founder has more than doubled his financial contribution to the fight against a proposed wealth tax in California. New filings with the state show that former Alphabet president Sergey Brin donated $25m to a Super Pac dedicated to blocking the tax on top of $20m he had already given.

Brin is not alone among Google’s top brass in upping his financial stake in the campaign against the ballot proposal. The company’s former CEO Eric Schmidt donated $1.02m, adding to a previous $2m contribution.

The tech titans are battling the California Billionaire Tax act, often referred to simply as the billionaire tax. It’s a proposed ballot measure that would require any California resident worth more than $1bn to pay a one-off, 5% tax on their assets to help cover education, food assistance and healthcare pr ograms in the state. It’s sponsored by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, and is still in the signature-gathering phase.

BERNIE SUPPORTS IT, SO DO I

Get the California Billionaire Tax on the ballot -- message from Bernie

Billionaires and corporate interests have too much power and influence in this country. As they hoard more and more wealth, our critical public infrastructure crumbles.

Only when the people come together can we fight back. Californians, NOW is the time to take action: sign the petition to tax the billionaires and save healthcare.

The Golden State is home to more than 200 billionaires who've profited off of taxpayer-funded resources while exploiting tax breaks like the ones passed in Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."

That same bill just gutted California's healthcare system to the tune of $100 billion – cuts that are already forcing hospitals and ERs to close their doors forever.

It's not too late to stop the healthcare collapse. All that's needed is for billionaires to finally pay their fair share. That's why thousands of Californians are coming together to support an emergency 5% tax on billionaires to keep hospitals and ERs open.

Billionaires and their allies are trying every dirty trick in the book to stop this tax from making it to your ballot in November. Don't let them win. Stop by a location near you and sign a petition today.

Your signature is urgently needed to help qualify the California Billionaire Tax Act for the ballot. There are locations all across the state where you can walk in and add your name in less than 2 minutes.

Don't miss your chance to fight back and prove the people still have power in this country. Learn where you can sign the petition TODAY to tax billionaires and save California's hospitals.
In solidarity,

Team Bernie

1. From what I've read, Steyer has investments in the private prison racket -- ICE prisons! Why would anyone

in CA vote for him?

This is just a petition. Nothing in the wording binding the legislature to accept it as worded.

2. Just posting for info.

I am a bit allergic to billionaires myself.

hint: I get Bernie Sanders emails.
