11:39Now PlayingGavin Newsom is quietly going to war against a wealth tax that would hit only billionaires and fund California healthcare. Unions representing healthcare workers proposed a one-time 5% tax on fortunes over $1 billion to keep hospitals staffed and patients cared for. Instead of backing nurses and patients, Newsom is trying to kill the measure before voters ever see it.
In this video, I break down how California’s “progressive” governor is fighting harder for billionaires than for the people keeping the healthcare system alive. We’ll look at what the tax would actually do, how Newsom is lobbying against it behind the scenes, and what this exposes about Democratic loyalty to their donors over working people.
You’ll see how this fight isn’t just about California policy—it’s a case study in how oligarchy operates in blue states, and why corporate Democrats keep blocking any serious challenge to extreme wealth.
If you’re tired of seeing both parties serve the billionaire class while workers get squeezed, this story tells you everything about who actually has power—and who your leaders really work for.
