Must be hard trying to make people think you are progressive and on their side while blocking every bill to tax the ultra rich. Let’s see how he chooses.

Bets?

    Don’t governors veto bills that were voted on by the people all the time ?

    Can you maybe explain this to me cause I’m definitely confused.

      Sometimes ballots are binding, sometimes they introduce a bill automatically, sometimes they’re basically just a poll

      For California, they’re binding - if it passes, there’s a law that goes into effect

        So it depends on the state or how the bill is being presented ? I thought he previously vetoed a similar bill. Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else.

          Well he can veto bills from the legislature. And he has vetoed a lot of progressive legislation. I don’t remember a specific wealth tax but maybe I missed it.
