The Los Angeles Times has decided that since California made them rich, it was only fair for them to pay up when the state asked for "a little something back."
Wait! If California made them rich, why isn't everyone there rich?
It’s doubtful any of the potentially affected affluents would feel the pinch, but it could make a world of difference for kids depending on free school lunches, or folks who need medical care but can’t afford it because they’ve been squeezed by a system that places much of the tax burden on them.
Let's guilt the billionaires now. Oh, and add a dash of abstraction to the overspending the state has so as not to blame Newsome. California has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
