California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed a national tax on billionaires that he says is the first part of an “economic reset for America” agenda, which aides explicitly say is part of his considering to launch a presidential campaign.
I believe Gavin Newsom was mayor of San Francisco when they first began issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples before the state of California and the federal government recognized gay marriage. Why is gay marriage at the local level accepted with Newsom but a one time tax on billionaires not?
Also, local government and state governments allowing same sex marriages paved the way for the federal government recognizing gay marriage. Why would the playbook be any different for taxing billionaires?
