Rep. Khanna on Gov. Newsom’s Opposition to Billionaire Tax Ballot Proposition: He’s Siding with Trump Donors Like Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel
‘They’re 250 billionaires in California, they’re worth half the California economy’
EXCERPT:
KHANNA: “He is just getting campaign contributions from a lot of these billionaires. That's what this is about. And he's siding with Trump donors like Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel. The reality is, and the governor knows this, 85% of venture capital this year in the whole country came to California. The AI revolution is happening in my district in Silicon Valley. They're producing more billionaires. And billionaires don't pay enough tax. They're only paying 2.5% of the entire California budget because they're not paying like you or me an income tax. They're just sitting on these fortunes.”
