Methodology & Source Note: Grounded in the Politico survey reporting a narrow lead for California wealth tax proposals. Modeled tax base assumes ~160,000 California taxpayers with net worth exceeding the active threshold, adjusted for legal restructuring, relocation to zero-income-tax states (Texas/Florida/Nevada), and multi-tiered compliance audits by the FTB.
