Lawmakers in the state Senate took the final vote on these taxes on Thursday morning, sending them to Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk where he's expected to sign the legislation before the end of the month. One proposal involves an increase in taxes on health plans, which experts say will raise rates for individuals with private health insurance by an average of $100 per year. This tax is expected to generate $2 billion annually to help fund Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for low-income residents. The second tax increase would impose a new sales tax on digital software, including programs like Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, Slack, and Workday. This tax, starting at 7.25%, could vary depending on the region of California where the software is purchased or used. The measure is projected to bring in approximately $900 million annually for the state's general fund. read more
Do you think Mamdani's proposed and/or implemented policies are hurting some while helping others, or is it helping all with a neutral effect?
It hurts those with assets, I believe the point is to hurt them, then when it goes bad, confiscate their property.
Its strange these people don't look at their own history with "TheProjects", to understand how half the world lives in these type buildings and it sucks. No one has ownership, so no one takes pride.

Asking a MAGAt to define terms like "communism" is a fool's errand.
A commune, a kibbutz, no money, just free stuff if you are part of the commune. It doesn't need to be self sufficient, just make a product and sell it to the capitalist to fund it. Hell drill for oil! Wreck the environment, just make it work for 4 generations.
Prove the Israelis were full of shit.
