San Francisco voters are smart, so why would they want another stupid tax … or would they?
San Francisco voters are considering the reimplementation of the Overpaid CEO Tax, which targets large companies with high CEO salaries. A recent study suggests that this tax could lead to significant job losses and a reduction in the city's GDP. The article questions whether punishing CEOs for high earnings is worth the potential economic consequences for employees.
- ▪The proposed tax aims to impose a gross receipts tax on companies with CEOs earning 100 times more than the median employee.
- ▪Estimates indicate that the tax could result in approximately 1,000 job losses in San Francisco.
- ▪The city could see a GDP reduction of around $200 million if the tax is reinstated.

Not unlike a class president’s new Free Ice Cream initiative failing to disclose the ice cream in question will be exclusively anchovy-flavored, the city controller’s office is out with a new study that reads less like an economic analysis and more like a basic lesson out of Econ 101.
