Billionaires Fund Campaigns Against Proposed California Wealth Tax

A group of billionaires, including Sergey Brin, is financing multiple ballot initiatives in California to counter a proposed 5% tax on the state's wealthiest individuals. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the efforts to nullify the tax measure, which has sparked significant debate among California's affluent community. The proposed levy aims to address income inequality and generate additional revenue for the state. However, it has faced opposition from wealthy residents who argue it could drive high-net-worth individuals out of California. The initiatives funded by Brin and others seek to prevent the tax from being implemented, reflecting broader tensions over wealth distribution and taxation policies in the state.
