California voters will decide this November whether to impose a one-time wealth tax on the state's richest residents, setting up what could become one of the most expensive ballot measure fights in state history. Proposition 40 would levy a one-time 5% tax on the total wealth — not just income, but stock holdings, real estate, yachts, and other assets — of roughly 200 of California's richest residents.

The California Democratic Party has officially endorsed the wealth confiscation tax, also known as the billionaire's tax, which is set to appear on the November ballot. This move has sparked a heated debate within the party, with some prominent figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom, opposing the measure. The tax would impose a one-time 5% asset seizure on the state's 200 billionaires, with the revenue generated going towards healthcare. However, critics argue that this move could lead to a mass exodus of wealthy individuals from the state, resulting in significant revenue losses.The California Democratic Party's endorsement of the billionaire's tax has been seen as a significant blow to Governor Newsom, who had been vocal in his opposition to the measure. Despite this, the party's executive board voted in favor of the tax, with some members expressing concerns about the potential consequences of the move. The billionaire's tax is not the only issue on the ballot, as two competing measures, Propositions 41 and 42, aim to prevent the tax from being implemented.The debate surrounding the billionaire's tax has highlighted the complex relationship between the state's politicians and the unions that back them. The SEIU, a powerful union that has been instrumental in pushing for the tax, has been accused of pulling the strings in Sacramento. The union's influence has been seen as a major factor in the party's endorsement of the tax, with some critics arguing that the party is more interested in pleasing its union backers than in serving the interests of its constituents.Tune in to this episode to hear the discussion on the billionaire's tax and its potential implications for California. The speaker breaks down the complexities of the issue and explores the motivations behind the California Democratic Party's endorsement of the tax. With the November ballot looming, this is an issue that Californians need to be aware of.

Dave Regan built his career fighting for the underdog. Now he's taking on California's billionaires. Regan leads SEIU-UHW, a union representing more than 120,000 healthcare workers in the state. He's known for taking on the state's most powerful interests and using ballot initiatives as leverage to force negotiations. His latest proposal is a controversial billionaire wealth tax on the November ballot that has split the labor community and Democratic party in California. The measure aims to offset looming MediCal cuts from President Trump's so-called “big beautiful bill” by issuing a one-time, 5% tax on the assets of the state's billionaires. Marisa sits down with Regan to talk about his upbringing, how he got into organizing and the backroom negotiations with Gov. Gavin Newsom to pull the measure off the ballot that ultimately failed.

Gavin Newsom went on the national stage and declared it's "time for a national billionaire tax" — calling the wealth gap a "five-alarm fire" and promising a full economic reset for America. It's a bold pitch. It's also completely dishonest.Back in California, Newsom has repeatedly blocked state-level wealth tax proposals, warning they'd drive businesses and capital right out of the state. So which is it? Either taxing billionaires destroys economic activity — which is why he killed it in Sacramento — or it doesn't, in which case he's been lying to California voters for years. He doesn't get to have it both ways.Sean breaks down the "two Gavins" problem: one who tells a national audience the system is broken and promises an American reset, and another who quietly admits that same policy would gut the tax base he depends on. The only thing connecting both versions is a 2028 presidential campaign that needs a signature issue and a candidate who hopes voters don't pay attention.CHAPTERS0:00 Newsom Backs US Billionaire Tax, Kills…1:36 Watching Newsom's Billionaire Tax Pitch2:12 California Got Worse Under Newsom3:20 Newsom Drove California Into the Ground4:10 Newsom's National Public Equity Fund5:04 Newsom's Contradictory Billionaire Tax…6:02 Ro Khanna Calls Out Newsom's Hypocrisy7:17 Newsom's 2028 Presidential Ambitions8:48 Examining Newsom's Social Contract Pitch9:59 Democrat Elites Flout Their Own Rules12:00 Make Sure You VoteSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on the stories the mainstream media won't touch.#Seattle #Socialism #WashingtonPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Jeff Bliss discusses California's controversial "billionaire tax," an initiative designed to bridge the state budget gap that has prompted a significant wealth exodus to states like Texas. He also addresses Governor Newsom's shifting stance on wealth taxes and the re-emergence of past personal and political scandals. (1)1900 LA
California's SEIU-UHW union is pushing a ballot initiative that would slap a 5% excise tax on net worth above $1 billion — targeting roughly 200 people across the entire state and projecting $100 billion over five years. The money is supposed to fill the Medi-Cal hole left by federal funding pullbacks. The problem: it's a one-time tax aimed at people who already have the best lawyers on the planet, the capital to relocate overnight, and every financial incentive to do exactly that.Sean breaks down why this is a house of cards from the start. The "full-blown panic among the ultra-wealthy" framing is clickbait — billionaires aren't panicking, they're strategizing. Between asset restructuring, legal challenges, and simply finishing the move out of state they were already making, the $100B projection is a fantasy. And the internal math only gets worse when you factor in that opponents are already outspending supporters, and Planned Parenthood is sitting on the other side of the table from the union pushing this thing.The deeper play is precedent. If California gets this through — a real long shot — it becomes a national litmus test for wealth taxation, and Newsom gets a new talking point about a social contract that's really just a funding patch for a program increasingly serving people who shouldn't qualify. Washington's millionaire tax saga plays out the same way: the money disappears before the ink dries. This isn't fiscal policy, it's a very expensive flag run up the pole.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily conservative commentary on Pacific Northwest and national politics — new episodes every weekday.#Seattle #PrideParade #CultureWarGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, it's not so much “taxation without representation” at issue as it is the question of what modern taxation represents – For some, a chance to strike a blow against wealth disparity while pursuing a socialist dream of expansive government. Nowhere is that more evident than in California and a ballot initiative which, if approved by voters in November, would impose a 5% “wealth tax” on the Golden State's resident billionaires – 90% of the proceeds going to state healthcare programs. Joshua Rauh, the Hoover Institution's George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics and an expert on California-style taxation, discusses America's current fascination with socialism and economic class warfare as well as all that's at stake in the Golden State. Will a voter-approved wealth tax prompt billionaires to flee California for the likes of Austin and Nashville, taking with them needed tax revenue? Would the one-time tax lay waste to Silicon Valley as an incubator of innovation (and revenue stream)? Moreover, if the promised revenue doesn't materialize, is California likely to apply the tax to millionaires as well (and perhaps expand it beyond a five-year period, as happened a decade ago when the Golden State extended a “temporary tax” on California's upper earners)? Recorded on June 29, 2026.
What if there was a strategy used by ultra-high-net-worth families that could help physicians grow investments more efficiently, reduce taxes, protect assets, and create a lasting legacy?In this episode of Limitless MD, Dr. Vikram Raya sits down with Michael Malloy to discuss one of the most powerful wealth-planning tools you've probably never heard of: Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI).While many physicians focus on maximizing income, few understand how the ultra-wealthy structure and preserve their wealth. Michael explains how PPLI has been used by affluent families since the 1970s as a sophisticated vehicle for tax planning, asset protection, estate planning, and long-term wealth preservation.Together, Vikram and Michael break down what PPLI actually is, how it differs from traditional life insurance, who qualifies, what types of assets can be held inside a policy, and why some investors refer to it as an "unofficial Roth IRA" for wealthy families.If you're a high-income physician, entrepreneur, or investor looking for advanced strategies to preserve and transfer wealth, this episode offers a fascinating introduction to a financial vehicle that has historically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Would you rather keep a dollar or keep seventy cents? That's really what taxes come down to.”~ Michael MalloyIn This Episode:What Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) really isWhy wealthy families have used PPLI for decadesHow PPLI differs from traditional life insuranceThe tax advantages of properly structured PPLI policiesWhy some investors call PPLI an unofficial Roth IRAHow physicians can use PPLI as part of a broader wealth strategyAsset protection and estate planning benefitsPassing wealth to future generations more efficientlyHolding real estate, businesses, collectibles, and cryptocurrency inside PPLIUnderstanding the investment control doctrineWho qualifies for PPLI and typical minimum investment thresholdsCommon misconceptions about advanced wealth planningAbout Michael MalloyMichael Malloy, CLU, TEP, RFC, is the Founder and Chief Advisor of EWP Financial, a global leader in Expanded Worldwide Planning (EWP) and Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI). With more than 40 years of experience in the insurance and financial services industry, he has built a reputation for helping ultra-high-net-worth families implement innovative wealth preservation, asset protection, and tax planning strategies.A former museum administrator turned pioneering insurance strategist, Michael has dedicated his career to helping successful families navigate complex financial planning challenges across multiple jurisdictions. His expertise spans international tax planning, estate planning, risk management, and advanced asset structuring.Michael is also the author of two respected books, The PPLI Papers and The Wit and Wisdom of Professor PPLI, which help simplify complex wealth preservation concepts for investors and advisors alike.Connect with Vikram:

California voters are poised to vote on a one-time billionaire tax that would fund schools, food assistance, and Medicaid.

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic power broker and potential presidential candidate.
