    Tax the rich you coward!!

    Seriously though, is he trying to fire a salvo in some BS culture war battle? Maybe he thinks taxing software will effectively tax ai?

      Yeah, taxing the average consumer more but refusing to tax billionaires is regressive and dumb as hell. Newsom is a sellout

      He works for billionaires. This is just a virtue signal to make it look like he could be taxing AI when really it’s a regressive tax that would hurt poor people the most and further save his voter base: billionaires.

      So he will never push a genuine wealth tax, but he will push red herrings.
