Leave it to the UC Berkeley Law School, a bastion of left-wing thought, for one of its perfessers (sic) to come up with a new way to soak the rich here in the Golden State. Brian Galle is his name, and he has already reportedly helped design a 5% wealth tax on billionaires that may become law in California. That's because the little rascals in Sacramento need more $$$ for their social programs and to take care of the millions of illegal migrants in our state. According to Galle, these rich people in California are "starving the treasury".
Of course, nobody knows how many billionaires are left in the state since so many people have left taking their money, their companies, and their jobs with them. Many are predicting that the next thing to come out of Sacramento will be an exit tax.
Of course, as is my wont, I point out that the dean of the law school is Erwin Chemerinsky. Under his stewardship, the law school is little more than a training ground for future left-wing activists. At times, his minions have gotten so out of hand that even he gets frustrated with their antics. But as I told him once in an exchange of emails, this is largely of his own construction.
