California’s Prop 40 wealth tax on billionaires stirs debate ahead of 2026 vote

California’s Proposition 40, a one-time wealth tax targeting billionaires, continues to stir debate ahead of the November 2026 election. Recent reports indicate the top 1% of earners in California contributed nearly half of the state’s income tax revenue in 2021. This has led to concerns from opponents of Prop 40 that the proposed tax could eventually extend beyond billionaires. The measure, which aims to raise funds primarily for healthcare, has become a central issue in the state’s political landscape.
