Economy "Radical" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

That's the idea, to tax the wealthiest people at a much higher rate. Whether that's right or wrong is a matter of opinion.
If that's your stance, one could just as easily say the rich should pay no taxes because they invest their resources back into their businesses creating products and opportunities for everyone else. It's all just a matter opinion right?
 
Even if I don't really agree with her and her politics I'm not sure I'd call her retarded . . .
I am comfortable using that term to describe her. How high do you think she would score on an IQ test. I am confident it would not reach a normal range.
 
That's a ridiculous statement, even by the standards I expect from you. Some places already have all-electric public transit. Lots of people, especially in large cities, have never even owned a car.

Do you really think the poor only live in cities?

Maybe you need to get out and see the US.

Or that’s what I expect of you that you dismiss any rural area as worthless and only fly over who should not count for votes or have any say in the country.
 
She's only a radical because of how much the overall political debate has shifted to the right over the past few decades.

Take her back to the 50s (wasn't that the golden age you're supposed to go back to anyway?) and she's a run-of-the-mill Democrat.
 
I like how someone become a radical and a fraud for having any luxury item. Like memes around Sanders allegedly driving a high end car, and Cortez wearing an expensive dress.

I mean, Sanders has espoused moving towards a Scandinavian model of economy. Do people honestly think luxury items don't exist in Scandinavia or something?

It's fricken weird childish it is.

Scandinavian countries already have comparable or lower tax rates than America. Historically, corporation tax has actually been much higher in America. I've never understood why both leftists and right-wingers hold up Scandinavian countries as examples of socialism and progressive taxation when compared to America.

Take Eisenhower from then to now and the right would be calling him a communist.

If you believe that the wealthiest people don't hoard their money for themselves then there isn't any point in debating this with you.
 
Has there been a lo of comments about her skin tone or are you just acting as the white knight here playing the race card?
leftists will just keep repeating a narrative and hope it's becomes true, especially the one that "the right" are having a meltdown over the dancing video. <45>
 
I’m sure.. you and the rest of em. Gotta have an enemy huh?

Notice how they only pick old women (Hillary), teenagers (Hogg) or minority women as their enemies to rally around?

Pathetic really.

I believe the majority of Jeff Bezos' money is invested in Amazon, which is a fact. Since you openly put feels over reals than debating you is most definitely pointless. However, I will happily continue to destroy your points and give you a platform to embarrass yourself with your juvenile notions of fairness.

Are you saying wealthy people don’t save their money? Are you really saying this?

You really think people who can't score in the normal range on an IQ test become college graduates?
 
If they didn't pay twice as much in tax as their share of the wealth, no one would have infrastructure.

Hilarious. So without people living as kings there would be no roads?

Then how do countries with less inequality have roads genius?

And better ones than Murka as well.

Or that's a ridiculous reply to a valid criticism of a ridiculous post. About the first sentence, I made no such assumption, while your post, the one I was replying to, made a ridiculous assumption, that "everyone" will need a new car.

About your second line, I won't step foot in your insane country (until some laws change).

About your third line, I'm not dismissing rural anything while you're making dumb illogical assumptions. No matter what kind of vehicles people are driving, the energy demands will be unsustainable if they continue to increase. To reduce energy use, getting as many people as possible onto public transport will be a key element. Obviously things are different in lower population areas. But you made it sound like a much larger issue by saying "everyone." You already subsidize rural people left and right, so programs to help them be more green, including reduced EV prices, don't seem out of the realm of possibility to me. There are lots of options for people of varying kinds of accessibility issues, unlike trying to, say, figure out how "everyone" is going to get a new car.

Try to expand your thinking a little. You don't strike me like a bad person, but a lot of the time you come across like Clint Eastwood talking to the chair.

Fewer people, smaller size, and less diversity would be my guess without you saying which country you are referring to with better roads.
Feel free to prove me wrong.

She graduated cum laude from Boston College.

She's much, much smarter than you. The problem is that you're too stupid to realize that you're stupid.
