For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

1. Projections don’t win elections. TURNOUT wins elections. 2. Trump-dominated Republicans will do everything they can to cheat, including the kinds that removing observers makes easier, and a LOT of aggressive voter suppression (which IS cheating). Turnout will be harder but even MORE important.

These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: β€’ 65% say the economy is bad. β€’ 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. β€’ DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."
