We must tax the wealth of billionaires, not just income. California can lead the way

Will California stand with the working class or the oligarchs in the vote this November? The Democratic party has a choice to make. Are we going to be New Deal Democrats or corporate Democrats? Are we standing with the working class or the tech oligarchs?

Democracy Now!

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on taxing billionaire wealth rather than income, and both frame California as the key setting. The Guardian US is the only one to foreground Ro Khanna’s argument in partisan terms, contrasting “the working class” with “oligarchs,” while Democracy Now! is the only outlet to frame the piece as a ballot issue, with its extract focusing on Proposition 40 and a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of billionaires.
