The problem with Prop 13 vis-a-vis the state budget isn't just that it cratered property tax revenue, either. It's that a budget so heavily dependent on taxing income and financial asset wealth is inherently volatile. We have a system designed to make long term fiscal planning extremely difficult.

I haven't looked too carefully into CA's billionaire tax proposal, and obviously I support taxing billionaires more. But this also feels like another round in the constant scramble to compensate for the fact that we can't tax property like a normal state.
