In our latest, we talk about the “Tax the Rich” campaign, that has manifested as state wide ballot initiatives called Proposition 3 and Proposition 40, in California.
Listen in:
Proposition 40 is a one time billionaires tax. We had a great discussion with labor activist Fred Glass about Tax the Rich and got into the nitty gritty economic and political details. We discussed who’s opposed to it and supports it. We also talk about California Gov. Gavin Newsom a lot!
