“We cannot defend Britain with an ever-expanding welfare budget.”

Sounds like a great time to institute a #WealthTax. It's the patriotic thing to do!

Billionaires Fund Ballot Campaign to Block California Wealth Tax

https://www.governing.com/finance/billionaires-fund-ballot-campaign-to-block-california-wealth-tax

A group of tech leaders has put $35 million into initiatives aimed at stopping or weakening a proposed 5 percent tax on residents with more than $1 billion in wealth.

#BillionaireTax #Bribery #Billionaires #California #WealthTax #TechBros #5Percent
