I don't get out much. I grocery-shop, mostly. But when I'm out and about, I tend to wear my Bernie 2016 t-shirt. Up until yesterday, I hadn't gotten any feedback, pro or con, from those few people I have met: sales clerks, selling me stuff. Yesterday an older white guy was ringing up my purchases. (Full disclosure: I, too, am an older white guy.) He asked me if I was ok with Bernie's idea to tax people at ninety per cent. "Bdea-bdea-wha?" says I. "Oh, you didn't know that?" He said. I could tell he thought that he was bursting my bubble. And that really appealed to him. I became annoyed.
