Google 共同创办人布林捐赠 1.02 亿美元以避免 130 亿美元财富税：加州富豪税来势汹汹

最新竞选申报资料，Google 共同创办人谢尔盖‧布林（Sergey Brin）累计捐赠 1.02 亿美元给反对加州拟议亿万富豪税的组织Building a Better California，成为攻防战单一出资最多的金主。

这项提案 11 月将登上加州选票，内容是对州内约 200 名亿万富豪课徵一次性 5% 财富税。以布林接近 2,600 亿美元的净资产估算，若提案过关，他可能面临补缴税约 130 亿美元。

反对阵营累计已募资超过 1.87 亿美元，布林捐款占比超过一半；支持提案方则约募得 3,200 万美元。除布林外，前 Google 执行长艾瑞克‧施密特（Eric Schmidt）与 PayPal 共同创办人彼得‧提尔（Peter Thiel）等硅谷富豪，也都投入反对行列。

这场争议也反映加州对财富分配与税制的激烈辩论。支持者主张，税收可用于州内医疗、教育与其他公共支出；反对者则警告，这类措施可能削弱加州的投资与税基，冲击社会服务资金。
