Wealth tax proposals are sparking intense debate in the 2028 Democratic primaries, with progressives like Ocasio-Cortez, Van Hollen, and Khanna advocating for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy to address inequality. Moderates, however, argue these plans are anti-business and legally questionable. California Governor Gavin Newsom has rejected similar proposals in his state, but progressives are pushing for a one-time levy on billionaires. Senator Chris Murphy has rallied support in Los Angeles, while Newsom warns of potential economic downturn and wealthy residents leaving. Groups like Tax the Greedy Billionaires are increasing pressure, with polls showing Democratic voters may cool on Newsom if he opposes taxes on the rich. This divide could shape early primary battles, as Newsom doesnt rule out a national version.
