Saw this article and thought it was interesting. Seems like even regular folks are worried about the billionaire tax driving businesses out of CA. What's your take? Link: [article url]

I dunno man, I'm just a apprentice but seems like every time they tax the rich they just leave and the little guys get stuck with the bill. My boss was talking about moving his shop to Texas.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of small businesses close here in LA. It's not just the billionaires, it's the whole cost of doing business. But a wealth tax seems extreme. How do you even value a business that's not public?

Good point Paul. I think the poll just shows people are scared. I've been in CA my whole life but even I'm looking at properties in Nevada. Tools are getting expensive too.

For real. My shop's been hit hard by material costs. A tax like this might be the final nail. But hey, at least we still got our sanders? 😂
