@geibuu @chamath What you call the right is a bunch of feckless leftist coward conservatives.

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

@C_Dub_Tre @beerswithboggs @chamath OK I have plenty of assets to be taxed, of course I'm not a billionaire. Happy? Are you done bootlicking billionaires yet? I don't think Chamath is going to invite you for dinner no matter how much you defend him

@geibuu @beerswithboggs @chamath Yeah it absolutely does. You either have skin in the game or you’re jist another deadbeat leach wanting the state to steal for you. Which is it? I think we already know

@Ryaltre @626photo @chamath calling me little boy and spelling wasteful "waist full" is certainly a look

@geibuu @626photo @chamath Nobody is changing topic little boy or whatever you identify as. Only a complete fool would want to give a proven corrupt waist full government more money to be waisted and not go where it’s intended. Why would anyone want to give these politicians more money? 0.00001% is bs!!

@Phil44Traum @chamath Not very catholic of your sir!

@geibuu @chamath Tick tock, friend. Tick tock.

We are outraged. The CA Assembly just killed #CalCare — the bill that would guarantee health care for every Californian. Nurses condemn this failure by our elected leaders. We know health is a human right! nationalnursesunited.org/press/nurses-c…

The Costco food court at 6pm is telling you everything you need to know about the economy Slammed with families every single night $1.50 hot dogs are doing more for the middle class than our politicians

@Phil44Traum @chamath So show me where to interpret it that way or else you're just a chump throwing around insults like everyone else. Weak and pathetic people

@geibuu @chamath I read just fine. What you lack is historical comprehension. 'Sokay, you'll find out soon enough. Like I said, 3-5 years ought to do it.

@C_Dub_Tre @beerswithboggs @chamath Me owning anything has literally no bearing on what is written or how it should be interpreted. You're a clown🤡🤡

@geibuu @beerswithboggs @chamath Yeah, it does matter. And I seriously doubt you own anything or else you wouldn’t be cool with something like this. The way this is written they can do it to all of us, not just billionaires, every year, by a voice vote. We get no say. No, you definitely own nothing

@C_Dub_Tre @beerswithboggs @chamath It's literally not written that way, and besides throwing insults my and and saying over and over it's written this way when anyone with a education higher than GED can see it doesn't change reality. The act can't just be amended to apply to all. There are guardrails.

None of the billionaire tax coverage about Sergey Brin in Bloomberg or the NYTimes reports the most important structural detail of why he opposes it so much more than Jensen. It taxes voting shares as ownership. It taxes Page and Brin as if they own 50+% or >$2 trillion of Google rather than 3% each. Jensen does not have super voting shares so he is just taxed like his actual ownership of Nvidia. Imagine if you were taxed like you earned 10 times as much as you actually did last year. @bizcarson @teddyschleifer

More pity for the poor little billionaires. I’m getting sick of this crap.

Men will literally date a "gut-health influencer" instead of paying taxes

@JoeJ45665 @chamath so they can easily afford a 5% net worth tax, great

@geibuu @chamath Lol- billionaires have $8 trillion in assets. The middle class has $170 trillion. When they introduced income tax it was only for the top 1%. Where did that end up? This will be the same way. History tells you exactly what will happen.

@Investanswers @chamath He could at least do it honestly and not lie about what's in the text of the act

@geibuu @chamath @chamath is trying to prevent the Golden State from losing the other half of the tax base. It's already too late.

@vijayswamidass @chamath

@geibuu @chamath How do they know who has to fill it out? Everyone has to fill it out.

@vijayswamidass @chamath You tick a box that says you're not a billionaire. It's not a secret who are the billionaires. Literally in the FAQ page. billionairetaxnow.org/frequently-ask…

@SFortyseve86835 Bruh you can't even be hand held through a simple logic argument, thank god you're not in CA. Keep bringing down the test scores and IQ of the red states you infest.

@geibuu I guess you really are that stupid. Please stay in California if you're not already there.

@SFortyseve86835 What is ambiguous about it to you? The purpose of the act is well defined - raise revenue by taxing billionaires. Scaring people and saying it will apply to people making even $1M is disingenuous at best. That is clearly not consistent with and does not further the purpose

@geibuu "if the statute is consistent with and furthers the purposes of the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act." Are you trolling? You can't be that stupid. Do you really think that purposely ambiguous wording will stop the tax from being applied to anyone else?

@furcoatpajamas @GoodYarngrl @chamath Dumb

@geibuu @GoodYarngrl @chamath Boring.

@partners_road @StubornStalion @chamath

@StubornStalion @geibuu @chamath He has no assets, no income, and no prospects of getting either one. This “tax” is his Hail Mary pass, his one shot at a few bucks. Don’t take away his one dream - it’s all he has.
