California's Prop 40 billionaire wealth tax draws intense fight
Original: prop 40
California's Proposition 40, a proposed wealth tax on the state's billionaires, is dominating discussion ahead of the vote. Supporters, led by economist Gabriel Zucman, pitch it as a way to make the ultra-wealthy pay more, while opponents back rival measures designed to neutralize it. Coverage highlights a 'poison pill' that could doom the measure, and Nvidia's Jensen Huang drew attention by calling his reported $8 billion tax bill a 'privilege'.
Why now: Voters are weighing a high-profile ballot measure that billionaires are actively campaigning against.
