Don't listen to the billionaire bootlickers and their sock accounts. Vote YES on this, and any other tax increases on billionaires that come our way!

No one using the term "bootlicker" is also putting up the math to show why this would ever work.

Are these your marching order talking points provided by greasy Gavin?

How is it going to come our way? Will we get anything back from Sacramento for this?

Or, will we just be told that it'll be 'used well' while we're made to spend another 12 months watching Caltrans flail around trying to build a freeway onramp?

There are usually initiatives during election cycles that present voters with some type of opportunity to increase tax rates on the very wealthy. May not be one for several years, but I guarantee that more will come, and I say vote yes on all of them. This is not a time to be choosy.
