Matthew HaugheyIs there a website that tracks every California billionaire (who built their entire career inside the state and benefited immensely from it) who moved to Florida or Texas because CA passed a modest new tax on the ultra, ultra wealthy to help pay their share for the state that made them rich?
Seeing both Google founders flee the state, then Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel and now Uber CEO Travis K they're all cowards who want to take their ball and go home instead of slicing a tiny portion off their insanely high wealth that will already last them hundreds of years
The Google founders took advantage of all the things the state had to offer for decades. They built a company & themselves into some of the richest people on earth but they BOTH immediately bail when the people passed a law that lets lucky folks support the state that made their lives possible?
I know Google let go of "don't be evil" but taking the first plane out of the state when they ask for a small percentage of your wildly lofty wealth is kinda, sorta in the realm of being evil with your spoils.

Massive individual wealth is bad for humanity. We need to create a ceiling and a culture of pride not in "number forever go up" but in "how many times can you slap the ceiling?"
And as the floor gets raised by the 100% tax above the ceiling, great, then the ceiling can go up.
@metagrrrl yep, 100% agree
