It's never just about the immediate target and/or accounting of the numbers. The problem with going after the rich is that it's setting up a system for this type of control. Government leaders (especially the ones in CA) constantly abuse control, and giving them more points of control makes no sense. One year is a minority being targeted (just not if it's racial, gender etc), the next it will be some large group of people, maybe middle class, maybe small business owners, and they will extend such nonsense to a larger group. These laws have to matter in principle because it is much easier to extend their power then to weaken them or even harder, undo them.
