Must be hard trying to make people think you are progressive and on their side while blocking every bill to tax the ultra rich. Let’s see how he chooses.

Veto wealth tax → lose votes
Tax friends → lose campaign financing
Considering you can win votes back with campaign money, vetoing may be the safest option for him
It’s worse:
Tax friends: get your entry on the Epstein files made public.
hes trying to avoid the california one time tax to avoid precedent to encourage more taxes in other states, and opted for the national one, knowing that it likely would’ve been blocked by congress and say he tried.
It’s a ballot initiative. It’s not subject to veto.
Don’t governors veto bills that were voted on by the people all the time ?
Can you maybe explain this to me cause I’m definitely confused.
Sometimes ballots are binding, sometimes they introduce a bill automatically, sometimes they’re basically just a poll
For California, they’re binding - if it passes, there’s a law that goes into effect
So it depends on the state or how the bill is being presented ? I thought he previously vetoed a similar bill. Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else.
Well he can veto bills from the legislature. And he has vetoed a lot of progressive legislation. I don’t remember a specific wealth tax but maybe I missed it.
What country?
