flag A California wealth tax proposal may raise only $40B, not $100B, and could cost $25B in lost revenue as billionaires leave.

flag A proposed California one-time 5% wealth tax on individuals with over $1 billion in net worth could raise $40 billion, not the projected $100 billion, according to a Hoover Institution study, which warns it may cost the state up to $25 billion in lost income tax revenue due to billionaire departures. flag Since the proposal was introduced, six billionaires have left, taking nearly 30% of the state’s billionaire wealth. flag The tax, aimed at offsetting federal healthcare funding cuts, faces legal and economic scrutiny over its potential to trigger capital flight, despite support from unions and progressive groups seeking to address wealth inequality.
