    Quit demonizing people who make $75,000 or more. We pay taxes, too. And some of us don’t even think we deserve a tax cut. I’m good with the levels I pay.

    Quit hiding behind the vague language of “working families”. That’s code for “people who hate their jobs”.

    Quit saying “investment” when you want to spend money on busy-work projects.

    Have some stones and say the retirement age has to go up soon. I’m ready to work until I’m 73 unless cancer gets me or a bus hits me.

    Democrats are once more firing up the cheap politics of “see... those evil people have money and you don’t!” when unemployment is 4%.

    Republicans will respond by firing up their Lee Greenwood songs at rallies while a real estate developer keeps convincing uneducated forklift operators who smoke two packs a day that his policies will benefit them the most.

    Man, where I grew up and where I live now, $75,000 is just worlds apart.

    That really is a great read. You cannot get all those details about the metered process to the situation from tweets. You also don't get that this isn't the first time this has happened to Sanders. There is the buried lede.

    We are living in a very delicate time in our country where orderly protest is being treated as if it's a mortal sin. The owner made a decision and will stand by it. She understands that and thankfully the Washington Post wrote a clear story describing what happened. It's probably going to be hard to get a better news story than that on what happened. I doubt you will get anything more than "kicked out" by most "news" organizations.

    It's also sad that many Americans cannot see the difference to not serve someone for their actions than not serving them for how they were born. Not serving someone in a David Duke shirt is not the same as not serving a black family. As a country, we just cannot see nuances anymore.

    I hope her business stays a business after all of this because in America, I sort of feel, the right to properly express yourself to those who you think are doing wrong is what our soldiers are fighting for, too.

    Everybody left because of me? That's amazing. I don't post that often. They must be super sensitive snowflakes.

    Mine is more regional. I live in flyover country where it is dirt cheap to live.

    The people that need to read and understand your post won’t. Symptom or cause of the times with which we live?

    I think it was Canada and their snowflakes in general.

    Except for HC. She’s cool.
