Midway through this summer, a high-quality poll found that Democrats in California were overwhelmingly in favor of the upcoming ballot measure for a one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth.
The ratio was more than 4 to 1. But the state’s most powerful Democrats – including the governor Gavin Newsom, his near-certain successor Xavier Becerra and the Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass – have lined up with Silicon Valley billionaires who’ve raised upward of $340m to defeat the initiative.
We all have to come to terms with the reality that the US government no longer serves its people. It needs to be reformed. Like physically halted by using masses of people to clog hallways and removing former government reps from offices. Removing names and symbolizing. Taking down their websites and nulling whatever rules or laws from the former system which kept them in power for so long.
No one else is allowed to win in our elections. They’re not even remotely legitimate. Everyone is placed in our government by the uniparty. There’s no election that takes place when the people don’t ever get to choose a representative. We’re presented with their options.
It needs to end. If we aren’t filling the streets before Christmas, then we better start.
It has never served the people going all the way back to the founding and before. It has always been the rich and powerful.
