More than 8 in 10 Californians agree that making healthcare affordable for the state is a very important priority for state lawmakers. Why isn’t Gavin Newsom listening? #Yeson40 #BillionaireTaxNow #NoOn41 #NoOn42

Four companies control most of America’s meatpacking. Private equity is buying up hospitals & medical practices. A few tech billionaires control what we see online.
Now, the Ellison family wants say over both CBS & CNN.
This isn’t free enterprise. It’s a concentration of power.

If workers are going to compete against AI, they need more than a wage.
Robert Reich says we need universal basic income, or universal basic capital, so everyone gets a share of the wealth AI creates.
"We can't do nothing."

If someone is wealthy, their wealth grows annually at a rate of around 7%-11%. That means any wealth tax under that doesn't reduce the wealth of the rich. It simply slows the rate of growth of their wealth. Wealth inequality is absolutely out of hand. We need to tax it. Let's start at 1%-3% annually
