California got this one right.
Voters rejected the billionaire tax and backed a measure against new taxes.
Prop 40 Billionaire Tax
YES: 3.411 million (44%)
NO: 4.269 million (55%)
Prop 42 Anti–New Tax Measure
YES: 4.138 million (54%)
NO: 3.481 million (46%)
Even California voters have a limit on how much government can take.
This midterm is the “prediction markets” election.
If the markets are right, Democrats are headed for a HUGE night in the House and Senate. An outright blue wave.
If they’re wrong, pollsters will be celebrating and prediction markets will have some explaining to do.
It’s also a fascinating test of voter behavior: Do favorable odds energize a party’s voters or convince them to stay home? Does being the underdog motivate the opposition?
Remember: On Election Day in 2016, the New York Times gave Hillary Clinton an 85% chance of winning.
A big Democratic night could also bring America its first Muslim senator and a sign that Texas could turn blue.
Both parties and the prediction markets have a lot on the line.
Leave California over a wealth tax? Tax them nationwide.
Leave America? Get global leaders to impose the same tax.
The strategy: leave taxpayers nowhere to escape the tax.
And they wonder why many call them globalists.👇🏽
Brazil is a tragic case study.
Once you let communism in, it’s tough to vote it out.
They sink their claws into the Supreme Court and do everything possible legal or illegal to stay in power, even after Flávio destroyed Lula (a criminal) in the debate.

Says the CEO of the worst customer service airline & the worst in losing luggage.
Focus on fixing @united first. You’ve been there for almost 7 years as the CEO.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby tells the New York Times that "wealth inequality has become a danger to our society" and must be addressed.
"We should have a national wealth tax... we should have inheritance taxes that get close to 100 percent at some level. I would pay them."
