He's worth $222 billion, and doesn't want to 5% of that going to fund health care in his state.
Right now he has a powerful ally — #GavinNewsom. But the people of California feel differently.

There is hope. #WashingtonState, with its business hub Seattle, has imposed a #millionaires tax.

“… state legislature has just passed a different form of tax aimed at the state’s ultra-wealthy – a 9.9% income tax that kicks in at a million-dollar threshold”

Washington state’s ‘historic’ millionaire tax takes aim at super-rich – will it succeed?

As living costs rise, the state where Gates and Bezos made billions is targeting top earners – could other states follow?

@pinhman this problem is universal around the globe.

#WageWork has more taxes and fees than #CapitalGains aka. #RoboWealth aka. #LabourlessIncome!
- Yet noone can tell me that #Millionaires & #Millionaires can't get #broke, #sick or even #unemplyable & #incomeless (they are already #unemployed!), so why ain't they mandated to pay their fair share?

Cuz certainly they too can become in need of care…

Great News Alert! Income-tax-free #Washington state has adopted their first #income #tax on #millionaires only, the highest in the country, at 9.9% (only on a family's income that's over $1M, the first million's still state-tax-free).
In the last days of the session, after 25 hours of #debate, it passed & #Governor will sign. Following #Massachusetts plan, they're taxing *one half of one percent* of the state, just 21K people, but will generate $3B/ year starting in '29.

Washington state income tax passes House after grueling 25-hour floor debate

In a 51 to 46 vote with four Democrats dissenting, the bill now has a clear path to the governor’s desk. If signed into law, it would become the first income tax for the state of Washington.
