Yup, I already have received multiple fliers that try to paint it as a generic wealth tax and do not mention that it only applies to billionaires or that it's a one time tax. People will be deceived. Hopefully the language on the ballot is straightforward enough.

Insightful comment, thanks. The frustrating part for me is that the media has a tendency to parrot his talking points without directly challenging them in the same breath. That allows his narrative to take hold (especially when it is backed by other members of the government) and steer popular opinion in his favor.
