I want to agree, but newsom.

Ratfucker opposes it in California, as if California doing shit first isn't what leads national improvements.

Ohhh, there's going to be an "economic reset" all right... and it's going to look a lot like the "economic reset" the liberal order foisted onto the world back in the 1930s.

we don't care

go home

wasn't this asshole against the billionaire tax in California?

I believe, and this is as diplomatic as I care to be, that he is perhaps concerned with billionaires fleeing the state and that a national approach could prevent that.

On the other hand it is more likely that his resistance to the CA tax and cheerleading of a national approach is purely performative as it will simply not happen at that scale, so that his pseudo-progressive veneer isn’t stripped away.

So he’s against the state level one that actually has a chance of passing, but for a national one that has zero chance, neat.

What an absolute fucking snake. He's been opposing the billionaires tax in Cali and now he wants to say it should be national where there is no chance of passage?

Fuck this guy.

Perfect democrat performative politics bullshit. It's on the ballot in CA and he fought it the whole time lol

Take the L Gavin

This asshole brought on Sharpio and other right wing grifters to agree with on his podcast but won't talk to real leftists.

I've totally soured on his bullshit. It's all just an intern clapping back at Trump in Twitter, otherwise this is just Hillary Clinton in a man's body.

Business corporate Democrat to the core.

Too little too late for Newsome. He’s had plenty of years to talk up a rich tax. Dude is capitalizing on the rhetoric. Like thanks but no thanks bud. We don’t need a yes man. Need someone with actual ideals

He is a 2 faced centrist, family friends with Pelosi. He wont do it.

It's all a smokescreen. He's not proposing a national wealth tax, just another minimum income tax. Which they won't care about because they don't earn significant income.

Newsom said he supports “a true minimum tax on billionaires — a modern Buffett Rule — that ensures the people at the very top pay at least the tax rate their own workers pay.”

How brave to insist one something he can't deliver until after he is voted in as pres. I'd be more inclined to believe him if he actually supported the CA wealth tax

Californians are proposing a billionaire tax and he promised to veto it.

Also, we don't want a stake in AI. We want to burn it to the fucking ground because it's ruining everything right now.

Newsom is such a duplicitous motherfucker.

Crushes it in his state and then pretends to support it nationally. All with what time he has to spare from praising Israel, of course.

I don’t want any stake in the future being built by AI because I don’t want the future being built by AI

Yeah, you're not gonna get your credibility with me back, bud.

I think Gaven Newsom should have all of his possessions thrown away.

I don't believe this asshole.

What stands in their way is the federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code

Not that Prop 13 is Newsom's doing, but it's kind of rich hearing that from the governor of a feudal state with landed gentry. For those not in the know, Prop 13 allows a person to buy a house and pay a low property tax for the duration of their ownership. This low rate is reset when selling the house, but it is transferable to offspring. It's an actual law that creates a class of property-owning elite. The kind of NIMBYs who pay nothing to their community while voting down new housing or anything else that would threaten their property value.

Fine words, but does he have the credibility to back it up?

This bowl of fuckwit oatmeal is going to be the DNC nominee for prez, isn't he? We are soooo fucked!

Can someone just nuke us or slam a gigantic meteorite into us? Just end it already, I'm tired of suffering under these fools and mouth-breathers.

Couldn't even win Florida wearing those flip-flops.

While he fights against any "economic justice" in California, I trust his actions more than talk.

Millionaires too, but we can start with the billionaires and up. It would be nice if we could replace capital gains with a system that actually taxes their assets rather than what they get when they sell those assets, but that'll never fucking happen

Dude is late to the party. Always is always will. I don’t true him to be true, he’s a reactive clown. Great twitter but he’s too center and that what we are going to see in this, it’s going to be half ass.

Hey Gavin! Remember that time you sat down with fascist Charlie Kirk and threw trans athletes under the bus? Yeah... I remember that you asshole. Fuck you and yours forever.

So, think they'll use THE PARLIAMENTARIAN excuse again for this one, if they can't avoid winning congress?

Trump~ "No more wars!"

Biden~ "Higher minimum wage!"

Trump~ "I will build a wall!"

Obama~ "Universal healthcare!"

Bush~ "Christ is in my heart!"

Clinton~ "Universal healthcare!"
