The bill imposes a 9.9% tax on income of over $1 million a year, with the first payments due in 2029. It would raise an estimated $3 billion to $4 billion annually, helping to fund schools and other state services.

This is literally the GOP talking point that was used to argue against this bill, btw.

It didn't happen in NYC or anywhere else this was implemented. Also, note that the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars. I'm not sure why you're me mentioning only billionaires when this doesn't just apply to them.

Are you prepared to eat those words? Because it sure looks like they failed to add the amendment that would have prevented it from happening.

Also you do know there are occasions where the GOP can be right and on the same side as us plebs even if their party is full of pedophiles.

But you seem to be quick to label people MAGA so you probably won't listen to anything I say which is right out of the MAGA playbook.
