    Who the fuck doesn’t support a wealth tax? Do poor people seriously think wealthy shouldn’t be taxed their fair share? If you make under $500k in this country, there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t fully support a wealth tax. And last I checked, there are far more people who make <$500k than there are who make >$500k.

    I swear, the poor are only poor because most are ignorant as hell and don’t know how to vote in their own self interest.

      “Prop 40 means higher costs and more taxes! Vote no!” Ads like that are running constantly I’m sure.

    Those billionaire-owned media companies are doing their thing in real time. They are good at what they do too.

    "Poll Question 5:

    Do you support an evil, vindictive tax an the innocent leaders of this great state -nay, world, the people who keep food on your table and provide you with your sole sanctuary from the vicious lashings of the eternal storm of life, without whom this country, to say nothing of its fragile soul, would collapse like a pillar of dust?

    A. No (select this option to receive $5 and a voucher for a free hot dog).

    B. Yes (select this option to enroll as a volunteer for the No on 40 Campaign)."
