Proposition 40, which will be on the ballot in November, would impose a one-time, 5% tax on California’s 200 billionaires,

These fucks will do anything to avoid paying taxes…

with 90% of the revenue from the proposed measure going toward the state’s health care program and 10% going toward education, food assistance, and administration. Brin, with a net worth of nearly $260 billion, could owe about $13 billion as a result of the tax.

Can’t be contributing to “socialism” I guess? Get some of that $260 billion liquid and pay up, dickhead.

        This is the point we’ve reached. It may as well be monopoly money. A billionaire trapped in a burning car; meh good luck, not my problem, hope EMS makes it in time. I’ll rephrase it this way; car accident, I will go help whoever is in the 90’s corolla while whoever in the Bentley can get bent.

        Well, he seemingly scraped together 102 million in real money to avoid paying even more, so I assume it’s real enough.
