California's billionaire tax debate divides economists and voters
Two economists have differing views on California's billionaire tax, and voters will decide on Proposition 40, a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of about 250 billionaires. Some argue it will reduce inequality and support healthcare without draining state coffers.
Why it matters: The outcome could influence how the U.S. taxes the superrich and impact state finances.
