Los economistas debatieron si el impuesto único del 5 % propuesto por la Proposición 40 generaría hasta 100 mil millones de dólares en ingresos o costaría al estado miles de millones, mientras los millonarios seguían destinando millones a la campaña contra la medida, informó NPR. Según Fortune, el cofundador de Google Sergey Brin aportó 102 millones de dólares al grupo anti-impuesto Building a Better California, que ha gastado más de 300 millones. Según POLITICO. eu, más de 70 multimillonarios californianos donaron en conjunto un récord de 612 millones de dólares a los grupos opositores.

El New York Post citó a Don Hankey, quien dijo que dejó California antes de la fecha límite de residencia y calificó el impuesto de económicamente insostenible. Fortune también informó que algunos economistas argumentan que California podría duplicar los ingresos del impuesto a la propiedad al igualar las tasas de Texas, lo que representaría un impulso mayor que el impuesto propuesto a los millonarios. El Los Angeles Times advirtió que la medida podría afectar a los propietarios de varias franquicias deportivas importantes, potencialmente influyendo en los precios de los boletos y la economía del estado. The Guardian señaló que los votantes decidirán la iniciativa en las próximas elecciones de mitad de período, con el apoyo de sindicatos y algunos demócratas.
