YOU DON’T SAY: Wealth Tax Author Admits: Not a One-Time Tax.

“I’m not here to pretend that it’s once and never again.”

The main author of the California asset seizure ballot measure is a Marxist Berkeley professor from France who replied “so be it“ when asked about residents fleeing the tax.

And on Tuesday night he admitted it isn’t a “one-time tax” as proponents try to claim.

Wealth tax author and Berkeley professor Emmanuel Saez said: “I don’t think it’s going to be a one-time tax. Because you can’t surprise billionaires more than once.”

Make the tax permanent because billionaires won’t stick around to pay it? Is this guy drunk?

UNSUSTAINABLE: U.S. deficit projected to hit $2 trillion, double fiscal target.

Will McBride, the Tax Foundation’s chief economist, said the numbers show Congress isn’t taking action to address financial warnings about the U.S. debt.

“It indicates Congress and the administration are still ignoring the dangers of an unsustainable debt trajectory and actively making it worse rather than addressing it,” McBride told The Center Square. “The effect is to make a crisis more likely to happen sooner rather than later.”

The projections come from Treasury’s quarterly refunding presentation to the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, a panel of bond market participants that advises the department on debt management, making them among the most closely watched fiscal disclosures in financial markets.

Milei showed the way, and it involves a chainsaw, not vague promises.

Got to say the RNC played it smart. Democrats were flooding money into Virginia and all of us were bitching that the national GOP weren’t even trying to keep up. But RNC lawyers KNEW the process was unconstitutional and would be killed by the courts, so they saved their money. https://t.co/0nhSqK1Lpy

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Let this be the final nail in Labour’s coffin.

A bloodbath. A wipeout. A rout. Call it what you want, there is no understating the catastrophe that has befallen the Labour Party in yesterday’s local elections. These results are not just a bruising defeat for an unpopular incumbent – they signal the beginning of the end for the so-called people’s party.

On the seats declared so far, Labour is having the worst results for a governing party since the Tories in 1995, before they were cast out of power for a generation. Labour’s vote share has plummeted by an astonishing 19 points since its General Election win in 2024. As results continue to come in, Keir Starmer’s party is losing half of the seats it’s defending. Not quite the worst-ever rate of loss for a governing party. That dishonour belongs to, er, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in May 2025.

The London Times adds: Plan your resignation to avert Labour strife, Keir Starmer urged.

Hindsight is 20/20, but clearly there was far more that Starmer could have done to prevent this bloodbath/wipeout/rout:

I think the big takeaway from the UK elections is that Kier Starmer just didn’t arrest enough people for mean Facebook posts

Play the game as hard as Dems do, and you win.

A TRILLION HERE AND A TRILLION THERE…:

Blue states have bled $2 trillion in wealth to red states in the last decade — and New York leads the pack.New York had the biggest fall in cumulative adjusted gross income (AGI) — losing $660 billion between 2012 and 2023.

California came next with $503 billion in the same time period.

In contrast, Florida gained $1.3 trillion, and Texas gained $371 billion between 2012 and 2023.

It comes as billionaire bigwigs are beginning their Big Apple exodus as a result of Mayor Mamdani’s wealth-bashing agenda.

Hedge fund titan Ken Griffin and Marc Rowan both announced recently that they will move jobs out of New York in response to Mamdani’s calls to “tax the rich.”

Gooder and harder.
