Do you understand the difference between FEDERAL taxes and STATE taxes? 🤷‍♂️

The current law at the WASC has a $250k/yr+ trigger for STATE taxes. Your section above does not counter that.

The bill you linked and cited is all about healthcare—it has f✨k all to do with the STATE capital gains tax that is being discussed.

Some rich guy’s PR team is doing a great job of getting the people that won’t pay the capital gains scared of this tax though.
