Gavin Newsom Exposed Backing National Billionaire Tax He Blocked In California

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Gavin Newsom went on the national stage and declared it's "time for a national billionaire tax" — calling the wealth gap a "five-alarm fire" and promising a full economic reset for America. It's a bold pitch. It's also completely dishonest.Back in California, Newsom has repeatedly blocked state-level wealth tax proposals, warning they'd drive businesses and capital right out of the state. So which is it? Either taxing billionaires destroys economic activity — which is why he killed it in Sacramento — or it doesn't, in which case he's been lying to California voters for years. He doesn't get to have it both ways.Sean breaks down the "two Gavins" problem: one who tells a national audience the system is broken and promises an American reset, and another who quietly admits that same policy would gut the tax base he depends on. The only thing connecting both versions is a 2028 presidential campaign that needs a signature issue and a candidate who hopes voters don't pay attention.CHAPTERS0:00 Newsom Backs US Billionaire Tax, Kills…1:36 Watching Newsom's Billionaire Tax Pitch2:12 California Got Worse Under Newsom3:20 Newsom Drove California Into the Ground4:10 Newsom's National Public Equity Fund5:04 Newsom's Contradictory Billionaire Tax…6:02 Ro Khanna Calls Out Newsom's Hypocrisy7:17 Newsom's 2028 Presidential Ambitions8:48 Examining Newsom's Social Contract Pitch9:59 Democrat Elites Flout Their Own Rules12:00 Make Sure You VoteSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on the stories the mainstream media won't touch.#Seattle #Socialism #WashingtonPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
