Billionaire Tax in CA: Good or Bad for Business?

Just saw this poll about the billionaire tax. I'm not from CA but it got me thinking. If businesses flee, that could hurt the economy and jobs. On the other hand, if the rich don't pay their fair share, how do we fund things? What do you all think?

I'm all for taxing the rich, but not if it drives them out. I've seen businesses move out of state because of taxes, and it leaves a hole. But let's be real, billionaires can afford to pay a bit more. Just my two cents.

I've worked on projects for high-end clients, and they worry about taxes. But honestly, most of them aren't going to move their whole operation over a tax. It's about quality of life and infrastructure. If the tax funds good roads and schools, businesses might stay.

As a safety guy, I see the impact of budget cuts. If the tax means better safety regulations and enforcement, I'm for it. But if it causes businesses to cut corners on safety to save money, that's a problem. It's a delicate balance.
