Instead I try to identify which employees regardless of when they joined are performing at founder-level and then treat them accordingly. Public recognition faster promotion more equity.

It's a gross receipts tax on total revenue from transactions in San Francisco . The proposed measure would raise the top rate by nearly 800% from approximately 0.129% to 1.121%. This is levied on revenue regardless of whether a company is profitable making it especially punishing for high-volume low-margin retailers.

But now with intelligence and capability on tap being creative is more accessible to more people than ever. And that's something to be celebrated.

"Larry and Sergey cant stay in California since the wealth tax as written would confiscate 50% of their Alphabet shares. Each own 3% of Alphabet's stock worth about $120 billion each at today's $4 trillion market cap. But because their shares have 10x voting power the SEIU-UHW California billionaire tax would treat them as owning 30% of Alphabet (3% [--] = 30%). That means each founder's taxable wealth would be $1.2 trillion. A 5% wealth tax on $1.2 trillion = $60 billion tax bill each. That's 50% of their actual Alphabet holdingswiped out by a "5%" tax.
