California voters rejected a ballot measure to impose a one-time, 5% tax on the net worth of billionaires in the state, defeating what would have been the nation’s first wealth tax. What do you think?

“I tried to vote yes, but a guy kept holding up a picture of my infant son and shaking his head.”

“Now we just sit back and relax as the billionaires return the favor.”
Tom Reiman, Screw Threader

“A wealth tax sounds nice in theory, but who’s going to pay for it?”
