      Dont worry, they will wait for the current tranche of laws to pass cementing that we can never create taxes specifically on the wealthy in the future. Like Californias prop 42

      https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/10/newsom-tax-propositions-november-election/

      Wasington’s IP26-645. Iowa’s comnstitutional ammendment. North Carolinas “constitional taxpayer protections”. Missouri’s ammendment 5.

      Protecting the wealthys money is all the rage lately, a brand new booming legislative goldrush.

      Then they will let the AI bubble implode-- not before. We have a few months still. Live it up. Play the market like its still the gilded age.
