25: The $2.4 Trillion Fight Over California's Billionaire Tax

from Just The Facts with Jill Wine-Banks · host Jill Wine-Banks & Politicon

Jill talks with SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West president Dave Regan about Proposition 40, a California ballot measure that would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents worth more than $1 billion to help offset major federal healthcare cuts. Regan explains how the tax would work, responds to critics, and argues that the cuts could leave 3.5 million Californians without coverage and cost 150,000 healthcare jobs. They also discuss the billionaire-funded opposition, Governor Newsom’s stance, and the union campaign that put Prop 40 on the ballot.
