California voters

[vvvexation]

I've mostly figured out how I'm voting on Tuesday, but I'm still undecided on Props. 1A, 61, and 63. Anyone want to argue me into a position on those?

thing is, its 1% + 1% + 1%, etc

Well, yes, in terms of John Millionaire + Jane Billionaire + Tim BigBucks, etc.

If you mean it's another 1% tax on rich people that would be the proverbial straw on the camel's back, well, that I'm not so sure of.

There's also the issue of, when you only tax the rich, your tieing the funds in that account to the stock market in effect... thats great as long as the economy is robust, but when things go wonky the money dries up.

There's that. But there are going to be bigger problems than just mental health funding if the stock market tanks. An alternate funding source would be similarly screwed with a wonky market (and economy).
