加州第40号提案「亿万富翁税」反对阵营发布40条反对理由：11月3日交选民表决
美国加利福尼亚州第40号提案将于11月3日交选民表决。该提案拟对净资产超过10亿美元的个人与信托一次性征收5%的税；州立法分析办公室估计，这项税收可在数年内带来数百亿美元收入，其中90%用于医疗保健、10%用于粮食援助或教育。
反对阵营近日发布「40条反对理由」清单，称一次性税收依赖不稳定的收入来源、可能损害加州长期财政，并列举加州医学会、加州儿童医院协会等医疗团体的反对立场。州长纽森亦公开反对该提案。支持阵营则表示，在联邦削减医疗开支之际，加州需要新的财源维持医院与急诊服务。
这场提案之争已成为今年全美最受瞩目的直接民主竞逐之一，双方筹款合计逾1亿美元。读者可查阅加州州务卿发布的官方选民指南，核对提案全文与双方论点。

Opponents of California Proposition 40 Billionaire Tax Release "40 Reasons" List Ahead of November 3 Vote
California Proposition 40 goes before voters on November 3. The measure would impose a one-time 5% tax on individuals and trusts with net worth above $1 billion; the state Legislative Analyst's Office estimates it could raise tens of billions of dollars over several years, with 90% dedicated to health care and 10% to food assistance or education.
The opposition campaign has released a list of "40 reasons" to vote no, arguing that a one-time tax relies on an unstable revenue source and could harm California's long-term finances, and citing opposition from medical groups including the California Medical Association and the California Children's Hospital Association. Governor Gavin Newsom also opposes the measure. Supporters say that with federal health care cuts, California needs new revenue to keep hospitals and emergency rooms open.
The fight over Proposition 40 has become one of the most closely watched direct-democracy contests in the country this year, with more than $100 million raised across both sides. Readers can check the full text and arguments in the official voter guide from the California Secretary of State.
