Sergey Brin joins the fight against socialism – Latest News
Sergey Brin is aware of the evil of socialism — and he’s determined to stop it from coming to California.
The Google co-founder issued a uncommon assertion this week slamming the left’s “billionaire tax” — to which Gov. Gavin Newsom has solely provided the weakest opposition.

He’s proper — as a result of that’s precisely the place the “billionaire tax” is taking us.
The left wing of the Democratic Party — which is especially robust in California — is worked up about the tax, and the prospect of seizing 5% of the wealth of the richest people in the state.
It’s simply the billionaires, they are saying — those that have benefited the most from the system, together with all the things the authorities has supplied them, from roads to working water.

But that’s simply the place it begins. Socialism by no means stops with the most evident targets. It all the time expands.
Critics of the billionaire tax argue, convincingly, that the language of the proposal permits politicians to change the plan, and tax the wealth of the center class.
They’ll should, as a result of there isn’t enough wealth in the fingers of billionaires to fill the bottomless pit of public health care spending in California, particularly after Newsom expanded it to hundreds of thousands of unlawful aliens.

Brin is right to talk out — and the solely query is why he didn’t accomplish that earlier.
California’s billionaires have courted the Democratic Party for many years. They partied with Barack Obama and spent lavishly on his coverage priorities, corresponding to immigration reform.
Google suppressed conservative information, and held a “cry-in” after Trump gained in 2016. It was on board with the left’s “woke” agenda, together with DEI and all types of political correctness.
Perhaps Brin and his fellow billionaires thought they may defend themselves by becoming a member of the left in focusing on its political enemies.
But now they’re the ones being pursued.
They are attempting to rally opposition to the “billionaire tax.” As they accomplish that, they could notice that many of the voters who may need helped them have left the state — chased out by prices, taxes, and rules Democrats imposed whereas billionaires seemed the different means.
Brin is welcome to the fight. But he must be in it for the long haul. Turning the state round will take more than one election.
