We need a wealth tax at the federal level.

Wow! When even liberal companies are leaving blue states because of their liberal policies, those blue states are in a world of shit.

You know you are in trouble when you are even too far Left for Google. Frankly, I'm amazed that these collectivist socialists would actually mind the state fleecing their pockets, I mean, California finally has the solution to balance their books!

The good of the many outweighs the few, right?

All they need is take in the collective wealth of all of their people there whom they depend on for industry and revenue! It is a brilliant plan! Maybe they will call it the Renee Good tax?! Just punch the pedal to the metal Baby until your brains are all laying out on the front seat.

Funny how all these Leftists rail about "fascists" in others all the while actually practicing it within themselves.

You can keep chasing it … but it can always afford to move.

Democrats always whine about "greed". It can be compared or individual greed

The only real greed is the greed of liberals and their insatiable hunger for other people's money

Democrats keep huffing about "paying their fair share". I have heard that for over 40 years

When is someone paying their fair share? When the government takes 50% of their money? How much is enough?

How much is enough?

Ironically ... Google is about as far left as you can get. They're all for Socialism when it affects YOU but are appalled when it affects THEM. So Google will leave the Marxist shithole that is California and likely take their woke ideology to some hapless Conservative State. Hypocrites!!

Please, by all means, have your candidates run on that.

We need a wealth tax at the federal level.

No we don’t. We need far less taxation and spending by the government at every level.

If you like taxes so much, try Europe.

Or NY, NJ. CA, or IL as runner ups

Fleeing Communism is the most American thing you one can do.

Here in MA is pushing the limit too

Hard to believe a wealth tax would be constitutional, double taxation and all that. But how frickin' stupid can you be, chokin' that golden chicken. Rich people ain't dumb, many have left for other places already, and others are no doubt in the process of leaving. I mean, the writing is on the wall, sooner or later CA is coming after your wealth, one way or another.

"Chokin' that golden chicken", indeed.
The sheer stupidity of the Left never ceases to amaze me.
And yet a majority of voters in California continue to elect these idiots.
Suicide by voting, I guess.

How about a poor tax, something to encourage you losers to learn a skill and get a damn job.

Hey vote blue get screwed

Hey vote blue get screwed

The problem is that it screws those of us who don’t vote blue as well. There ARE actually sensible conservative folks in Massachusetts. Mostly in the Wedtern end of the state. Unfortunately when you look at the first and. Second congressional districts on a map you see why we don’t have representation.
