Canada’s 40 billionaires increased their wealth by $95 billion last year. At a time of unprecedented wealth inequality, it’s unacceptable that this budget contains no new measures to make the very richest pay their fair share.

Some Dems opposed the Cali billionaire tax because they say state-level wealth taxes don't work.
Fine. Push a national wealth tax, right now. Besides being absolutely necessary, it's a great way to show who's full of shit before the presidential primaries.

Does this press gallery reporter honestly not understand the difference between income and wealth?
Pretty funny how the NDP wealth tax proposal is blowing this reporter’s mind.
It’s not a tax on income — it’s a tax (starting at just 1%!!!) on people who are worth at least TEN MILLION dollars!
Even if you’re a home owner, I doubt your house is worth ten million.

Corporations and governments regularly loot the entire assets of poor people and no one raises an eyebrow.
But suggest laying a hand on billionaires' wealth and people clutch their pearls.

The bad news is Californian voters rejected the billionaire tax.
Billionaires spent more than $300m to lobby against it.
The fourth highest opposition funder was Irish multi-billionaire Patrick Collison who donated $33m to the cause.
The tax was to fund food assistance, healthcare, education.

Two studies—one by Brooke Nichols (at BU) & the other by Charles Kenny & Justin Sandefur (at CGD)—both point to roughly the same mass death outcome:
