70% more support suggests that this tax is approved by the people.
the Millionaires Tax enjoys the strongest support among the revenue proposals based on extensive polling and research. Even the backers of other initiatives admit that the Millionaires Tax is the easiest to pass. While a recent poll showed the progressive taxes in the Governor’s measure to be supported by 68%, the same poll indicated that 64% of those questioned disapproved of the sales tax in his measure. Thus the regressive taxes that Brown included to please the Chamber of Commerce will act as a lead weight on his initiative. So if you want a clear winner in practical terms, it’s the Millionaires Tax. If you want to make Grover Norquist’s crew happy, support the Governor’s plan.
