The greed of a high tax state is insatiable
It is ironic that the radical California political left, that wants our state to pay slavery reparations for things that took place thousands of miles away and over a hundred and fifty years ago, now seek to impose slavery on current day wealthy Californians.

A bizarre ballot initiative was reported in the Sacramento Bee Capitol Alert of October 24, 2025 headed “New ballot initiative would levy a 5% tax on California’s billionaires,” with the shocking tagline of “If approved, the tax would be levied on billionaires who lived in California in 2025-2026, preventing the group from leaving the state.” That last phrase absolutely constitutes imposing slavery.
Background:
According to the article, the proposal is from the United Healthcare Workers West, an element of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The SEIU is made up of many locals, most of which are state and local government employees, and some of those locals are Marxist in actions and campaign financing, such as democrat socialist campaigns for public office. The SEIU has been quite shameless about using government tax money to finance political campaigns, until recently through forced contributions from all government employees. That blatant public rip off was finally stopped by the U.S. Supreme Court Janus ruling, not to be detailed here but linked.
Proceeds from the proposed tax would go to what is essentially Obamacare shortcomings and to “improve public education.”

It has been going on for decades. It has been openly promoted by the State University system….
People have such short memories…….. The RSP (Radical Socialist Party aka Dem.) Played this game when it levied a massive tax on the New England ship building industry. (well what do you mean?) It only effected the wealthy and they could pay for it. The documented outcome was to destroy an entire economy, sent those who would have continued to have their boats and yachts built in the USA!!!
It has taken decades to recover and is not the same.
The RSP has been doing its best to force out of the State the wealthy because it is politically correct. The State continues to run $Billions in deficit. What don’t you idiot voters learn here.
This is not Mexico. This is not Marxist Nicaragua or Venezuela or Cuba…….
The long term repercussions will be nasty.
Just remember you voted for them….you in the isolated bubble of Hollywood that is now collapsing voted for them.
You really are not that smart.
