Congressman Adam Smith

I think we upped it to like $40,000 or $50,000.

So we saved people who are making somewhere between $250,000 and a million plus dollars a year, we save them money on their taxes to run the deficit up higher so that we're less able to deal with housing and healthcare.

So it's not just the people who are struggling to pay their bills who think that they're owed more.

It's pretty much everybody.

I mean, my God, look at Sergey Brin.

All

All right.

Dude's worth $250 billion.

There's a tax, the billionaire's tax, it's going to cost him 12.

You know, and in California, California, the United States of America has much to do, had as much to do with that guy making all the fricking money he made in the first place.

It created the environment so he could start this company, so he could make gobs of money.

And in return, we're asking for like 2% of it to help keep things going.

And he's, oh, I'm going to move.

I'm moving to Nevada.

This is so unfair.

Yeah, I'm not, this is not going to be a short answer, I'm afraid.

But what I hope happens is a movement towards a form of detente.

And that is not a popular opinion because everyone wants to take on China and beat China and defeat them.

And they're screwing us and we got to screw them back.

Look, China is a big, major economic player in the world, and that's not changing.
