This is California. So you know the answers—yes, and quite possibly.
One benefit to this initiative if passed—all the leftist movie stars will make sure they own no property and receive no income in California.
And what is the Hecht Hechty Valley? |

Google is your friend.
It is a dammed valley containing a reservoir and a 500MW hydroelectric power station.
My best guess is that we’re looking at a Che-style or "Free Mumia"-style movement, an iconic leftist cause that becomes a battleground disproportionately to its actual importance by sheer happenstance, and becomes a self-sustaining meme even despite tens or hundreds of other equally-plausible examples. I don’t see anybody explaining what’s so special about this dam vs. others.
On that note, given that San Francisco has resisted taking this dam down, including Sen. Feinstein, I suspect that there aren’t enough whackos in California to even get this on the ballot, let alone passed. But I wouldn’t bet much on that statement. |

The proceeds of this money will be used to:
* To purchase 30% to 51% of the oustanding shares of stock in ExxonMobil, Chevron, General Motors, Ford, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, and Citigroup, in order to ensure California has an uninterrupted source of energy and financial capital.
that’s just funny. Hell even Exxon can’t afford to buy 51% of their own shares. |

If it was only the first 2 bullet points, I’d believe it could get on the ballot easily and a 50/50 chance of passing.
The 3rd bullet point makes it a lot harder and the rest - well, even CA isn’t that crazy yet. |

Is that second point even legal? A tax on residents leaving California would seem to violate article four of the constitution. |

"Imposes one-time tax (between 36.5% - 54.3%) on income exceeding $10 million when resident dies or leaves California"
A ’one-time’ tax when a resident dies? How droll. I would bet that the left would be more than willing to tighten border security to catch all those rich folks trying to leave without paying their taxes. They can hire consultants from the former Soviet bloc. I can hear it now, "Gov. Schwarzeneger, tear down that wall!". |

They lefties have figured out that if you pummel companies and the rich with taxes, the just leave the area (at least in an accounting sense). Everyone else not long to follow.
So these kinds of proposals seems to have leaving penalties attached to them these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama puts such measures in place before he implements the plans to bring about Utopia. |

When are they gonna get around to just confiscating any personal income or assets above 3 million bucks? Surely nobody needs more than 3 million bucks, right?
If they can do this tax, then why not that? |

I think you guys are really underestimating Obama and the new guard of the Democrat Party if you think this is a California issue. |

The important thing to note here is that the organizer of the drive is an accountant
Who is needed on an ongoing basis for tax reduction strategies? That’s right, accountants.
When the (temporary) estate tax reduction bill was passed several years ago, who was against it? Accountants. Which profession wants the tax code as complicated as possible? Which profession is doing all that they can to complicate it?
Mind you, only the presence of so many fruitcakes in the state makes it a possibility, however remote. But the likely agenda of the organizer is professional. |
