Yeah.
Novel taxes, taxes that no one's ever seen.
Unconstitutional tax.
Unconstitutional probably.
And will require a massive new enforcement mechanism.
Before you do that, you haven't even rung the obvious fraud out of the system.
And frankly, this whole budget hole that is causing this now asset seizure tax, it all started in 2022 when Newsom promised Medi-Cal for all, including illegal aliens.
And so what happened is, in Big Beautiful Bill,
President said, listen, we're not going to reimburse for illegal aliens.
Right.
So then the SEIU, UHW, the health worker union, they're upset because they don't want that funding cut because it indirectly impacts them.
So that's how this whole thing happened.
Think about the layers of fraud there that you've got, you know, the government of California is paying for illegal aliens.
Probably shouldn't be doing that.
Just to finish the point, if you are going to have the politics of Gavin Newsom and you're going to bet a cow for all in the state, even illegal aliens, doesn't that create a responsibility on you to audit the system and make sure it's not being abused?
When you then turn a blind eye to the fraud and you refuse to even acknowledge it,
You just pretend like it doesn't exist.
If you veto the audits, that's doubly wrong.
You had an amazing candidate, too.
All right, well, look.
