    So, what you're saying, is that if he was unable to sponge off the public's money as a politician, he'd be one of those guys picked up off the streets in Key West?

    The great Murray Rothbard must have had Bernie Sanders in mind when he said


    "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally

    irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

    Sanders thinks anything worth doing is worth overdoing. But his all-or-nothing attitude, Frank contends, "makes it less likely" that progressives will succeed in moving society in the direction they want.

    That may be the only consolation for nonliberals and anyone else distrustful of an all-powerful government. Sanders says he believes in "democratic socialism" but has room in his heart for the other kind. In the 1980s, he praised the Marxist-Leninist regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua.

    His loathing is reserved for capitalism. His inability to explain his plan to break up big banks in an interview at the New York Daily News was confirmation that on anything to do with economics, he is guided purely by ideology.

    He says our private health insurance system is the reason "we spend almost twice as much per capita on health care as do the people of any other country." PolitiFact noted that our per capita cost is just 38 percent more than that of Switzerland, the next highest. Some countries with lower spending rely heavily on private insurance.

    He has only contempt for any U.S. company that would move production to China or Mexico just "to make even more money." He doesn't grasp that if a U.S. company doesn't shift production to raise profits, its foreign rivals may do so — and put it out of business. Sanders assumes that earnings grow on trees.

    His fiscal realm is a zero-gravity environment. His tax plan would raise the top marginal rate to a confiscatory 77 percent — almost certainly stifling economic growth, not to mention reducing revenue from what it would be at lower rates.

    On spending, he offers a fiesta of extravagance: free college, paid family leave, Medicare for all, an across-the-board increase in Social Security benefits. The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says his plans could add $15 trillion to the national debt over a decade. Even liberal economists have characterized his budget agenda as a joke.

    Sensible voters on the left and the right will decline the suspension of disbelief his campaign invites. In the unlikely event he wins the election, Sanders won't announce, "I'm going to Disney World." He lives in his own magic kingdom.

    Washington (CNN) — Bernie and Jane Sanders earned nearly $206,000 in 2014 and paid about $28,000 in federal taxes, according to a tax return released by his campaign Friday night.

    The return also shows that the couple earned nearly $46,000 in Social Security benefits.

    13.6% tax rate?
