CA Wealth Tax

I would like you to re-introduce a wealth tax bill. Identical to the one proposed in 2023: a 1% tax on net worth over $50 million, and 1.5% on net worth over $1 billion.

I would like to point out that the above is far, far from what I think we should be doing. For a better plan, please see the following link, which also includes some useful references: Climage Change

Previous attempt

From 2023 legislation – Assembly Bill 259:

NET WORTH THRESHOLD TAX RATE APPLIES TO
$50 million+ 1% Net worth, excluding the first $50 million
$1 billion+ 1.5% Net worth, excluding the first $1 billion

The proposed tax would apply to about 0.1% of Californians (total pop of 39 million as of 2025)
