The bill would subsequently create a 1% annual tax for a resident\u2019s worldwide net worth that exceeds $50 million and an additional 0.5% tax for worldwide wealth exceeding $1 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this modest tax on the ultra-wealthy who pay a lower effective tax rate than the bottom 99%, we would have sustained investments in our schools, tackle homelessness, maintain and expand needed services, and much more,\u201d Lee said that in a <a href=\"https:\/\/a24.asmdc.org\/press-releases\/20230123-tax-extreme-wealth-introduced-california-coordinated-effort-seven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve been losing our lower and middle-income residents that are being priced out of this state because they can\u2019t afford the high cost of living while shouldering the burden of paying for our roads, infrastructure, and schools all the while the ultra-wealthy doubled their fortunes during the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unlike an income tax, under which an individual only pays a certain portion of new income, wealth taxes are based upon an individual\u2019s assets. California&#8217;s bill would require current and former residents to pay according to the value of stocks and savings accounts, art and collectibles as well as real estate and pension funds.<\/p>\n<p>The portion of an individual\u2019s wealth eligible for the tax would be decided with an equation that weighs the number of years in which an individual lived in California out of the previous four years. The numerator for new residents would be zero, and the denominator four. In the next two years, it would rise to one, and then two. A taxpayer who is \u201cno longer a resident\u201d  \u201cdoes not have the reasonable expectation to return to the state,\u201d The numerator would be a fraction of one and zero \u201cbased on the percentage of days in the year the taxpayer was present in the state, plus the years of residence over the three previous taxable years.\u201d In later years, the numerator would be gradually reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Lonsdale (a venture capitalist and entrepreneur) recently moved to Texas from California. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/money\/entreprenuer-fled-california-rips-new-progressive-push-follow-texas-un-american\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> Fox Business \u201cThis is really more a theatrical production going on in California,\u201d He said so. \u201cThe state\u2019s a total mess.
