纽森支持加州选票措施,以抵消亿万富翁税提案 加州州长加文·纽森(民主党)周五表示支持第42号提案,该提案若获选民批准,将抵消第40号提案(即“亿万富翁税法案”)所提出的对加州亿万富翁征收一次性税收的提案。据《CalMatters》报道,第42号提案将禁止对2026年1月1日居住在加州的任何亿万富翁征收追溯性税收。
Newsom backs California ballot measure that cancels out billionaire tax proposal California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) endorsed a ballot measure that, if approved by voters, would cancel out the ballot measure proposal that would impose a one-time tax on the Golden State’s billionaires.
《CalMatters》援引消息称,第42号提案由亿万富翁兼谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林提供资金,旨在阻止亿万富翁税的通过。该提案还将禁止对个人财产征收新税,包括退休金和401K账户,在退休人员领取收入之前,以及其他投资。
On Friday, Newsom endorsed Proposition 42, which would prohibit retroactive taxes imposed by Proposition 40, known as the Billionaire Tax Act, for any billionaire who lived in California on Jan. 1, 2026, CalMatters reported.
纽森在该提案支持者发布的声明中表示:“我们都同意,加利福尼亚人有权受到新州税收的保护,以确保他们的退休金和终身储蓄在需要时仍然存在。”该声明由《CalMatters》获得。
Proposition 42 was funded by billionaire and Google co-founder Sergey Brin as a means to defeat the billionaire tax, the outlet reported. It would also ban any new taxes on personal property, including pensions and 401K accounts before retirees collect income from them, along with other investments.
“亿万富翁税法案”将征收5%的税,并将所得税收的90%用于医疗保健项目,10%用于食品援助或教育相关项目。
“We all agree that Californians deserve to have their retirement and life savings protected from new state taxes so those savings are there when they need them,” Newsom said in a statement released by the proponents of the measure, obtained by CalMatters.
纽森长期公开反对第50号提案,他在6月于Substack上撰文称,这不是加州应设定预算优先事项的方式。他呼吁美国——而非加州——通过亿万富翁税。
The Billionaire Tax Act would impose a 5 percent tax and allocate 90 percent of the collected tax revenue for healthcare programs and 10 percent for food assistance or education-related programs.
他写道:“我将继续反对11月的这一提案,因为我相信加州的预算属于所有加利福尼亚人,而不属于任何一个利益相关者,不管该事业多么值得。”他还说:“我将在这里以及我能到的任何地方继续阐述,反对财富高度集中是一场我们必须尽快赢得的全国性斗争。”
Newsom has long been a vocal opponent of Proposition 50, writing on Substack in June that it is not how California should set its budget priorities. He urged that the U.S. –– not California –– pass a billionaire tax.
第50号提案于6月获得进入11月选票的资格,有效签名数超过了发起该倡议所预期的962,106个。
“I will continue to oppose the November measure because I believe California’s budget belongs to all Californians, not to any one stakeholder, no matter how worthy the cause,” he wrote. “And I will keep making the case, here and everywhere I can, that the fight against concentrated wealth is a national fight that we have to win soon.”Proposition 50 qualified for the November ballot in June, exceeding the 962,106 valid signatures expected to back the initiative.
该提案在加州民主党内部引发分歧,有人认为它可能将亿万富翁赶出该州 — — 尤其是硅谷。布林此前曾警告称,这项税收将削弱加州企业,迫使企业领袖离开该州。
The ballot initiative has divided some California Democrats who argue it could push billionaires out of the state — particularly in Silicon Valley. Brin previously warned that the tax will undermine California businesses and force business leaders out of state.
但该提案得到了服务员工国际工会联合医疗工作者西部分会(SEIU-UHW)的支持,该工会是该提案最突出的支持者之一,以及进步派议员如众议员罗·坎纳(民主党-加州)和参议员伯尼·桑德斯(独立-佛蒙特州)的支持,他们今年早些时候在洛杉矶为该提案拉票。
But the measure has received support from the Service Employees International Union United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW), one of the measure’s most prominent backers, as well as progressive lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who rallied support for the measure in Los Angeles earlier this year.
今年早些时候,40号提案的支持度有所增长,但上个月加州大学伯克利分校西特林公众意见研究中心-POLITICO民意调查显示,该提案在支持者中仅以微弱优势领先。45%的加州选民表示支持该提案,而43%表示反对,12%的受访者表示尚未决定。
Proposition 40 saw growing support earlier in the year, but last month’s University of California, Berkeley Citrin Center for Public Opinion Research-POLITICO poll showed that it has a narrow lead from backers. Forty-five percent ofed California voters support the measure, while 43 percent said they oppose it, with 12 percent of respondents saying they are undecided.
