So if Prop 40 losses, they can never raise taxes?

isn't that the main gist of the no argument?

Because they can SOME DAY LATER change the prop 40 rate to affect regular folks with 2/3 support of both houses and I suppose the gov's sig.

So, if 40 fails the state can never raise taxes? Because the permission structure is gone to raise taxes. Unless it is unconstitutional, I don't know what the state can't do if it has 2/3 support of both houses.

I suppose the sub argument is that 40 creates an infrastructure to tax wealth at a lower amount than 1 billion, but it doesn't apply to this tax today. And you can ask AI this question, if your wealth is 1 billion and 10 dollars, you owe only fifty cents (5%) because it is the wealth over 1 billion dollars.

I'm getting a feeling that the people against prop 40 basically believe in top-down economics. I could be wrong but that's what it feels like. It's not the dollar amount because if you have 2 billion in wealth the tax is 5% of 1 billion or 50 million.

Yes on 40
