When They Leave, You Foot the Bill
The billionaire tax promises $100 billion, but when billionaires relocate, California loses far more in income taxes, property taxes, business investment, and jobs. Middle-class families will face higher taxes and reduced services to make up the difference.
The Exodus Has Already Begun
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, along with Peter Thiel, have already relocated their tax residency out of California. Hundreds of billions in wealth have already fled. This isn't hypothetical—it's happening right now.
International Experience Shows It Fails
Twelve European countries tried wealth taxes. Eight have repealed them, including France, Sweden, and Germany, due to capital flight, low revenue, and economic damage. No major economy has successfully maintained a wealth tax long-term.
