Rather than pleas to save the planet, the billionaire, a Democrat is pushing a message of affordability in his campaign to become California’s governor.

    Steyer, a hedge fund billionaire

    That is really all you need to read from that entire article.

        I’ll believe it when it’s done. Until then it’s lies and manipulation. Like everything he’s done to make his money so far.

        He’s a hedge fund manager. Every peace of evidence in history has shown they are all pieces of shit and a net negative for absolutely everything but making money for a select few.

        If he proves otherwise then great, until then, there’s no reason to believe anything he says.

          Yep, and I cancelled my monthly donation to them and let them know what I thought of their endorsement. Sickening.

        Don’t be fooled. Billionaires should be shot, not elected. Also, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but this (The tax on wealth over $1Billion) is a ballot proposition. Does it have anything to do with the Governor race?

          It’s a ballot proposition, but decisions about enforcement and collection are very much going to happen inside the executive branch.
