Economy "Radical" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

How about President Trumps answer to how 1.9 trillion dollar tax cut was going to be paid for? He really just cut an pasted the whole trickle down economics line will created new tax revenue. Do you really believe the situation is better post tax break?

Yes the number of employed has improved but there are questions about wages is still being questioned an is the economy on a stable footing.

I believe the idea of reducing our use of petroleum is a national security issue as well as setting a course for the future. She talks about a 12 year timeline overly optimistic yes but you shoot for Mars an hope you get to the moon.

There are ways these things get paid for with a little additional pain like slight tax increase vs paying 7500 a year for coverage.

I heard a national health care plan would cost around 200 to 400 per month per person vs around 500 to 800 per month or more per person from an insurance provider.

There are ways to reduce these numbers by negotiating fair drug prices an rates business charges. Right now due to government policies we are limited in how to address these issues. AOC is going to have to do a better job selling it but Anderson Copper is no friend to progressive efforts.
Bbbbbbbb but trump
 
How do Murkans pay for handing over 900 quadrillion dollars to the Pentagon to flush away?

How the fvk do they find money to pay 500$ monthly premiums for health insurance with a 2000$ deductible? (hory zhit!)

How the fvk do they come up with millions of dollars for a go fund me for a wall that will never go anywhere?
At the median income that represents a 10% tax cut nor’easter to get it for free but my plan is half that number
 
Snl made fun of her every week and she had a porn named after her

But pointing out she’s stupid is racist sexist kkk
The problem is you extreme righties pick the dumbest people on earth for VP and President. Comparing Palin to ANYONE is a joke, she was flat out stupid, she did the same thing Trump does...all slogans. SNL should have made more fun of her, she was train wreck put in a position that was way way over her head, and every person in that campaign admits it. If she was so brilliant, why did she disappear QUICKLY ?
 
How is this dumbass shit supposed to work?

We’re already paying nearly 50-fucking% of our income in tax then when we make more, she wants us to pay more tax? So my old man clears 50m last year, pays 45% tax, BOOM down to 27,500,000: BOOM SUCKA you activated Ortez’s trap card, you pay 70% tax over 10m, goodbye 12.25m.

So you go from 50m to 15.25m under Ortez. Equal to a 69.5% tax rate.

Fuck Ortez.

What a fucking joke.

You already see tax dodging, implement this and you will see tax dodging on a scale never seen before.


Fuck y’all lazy communist motherfuckers
 
With all this debate about tax increases no one seems to point out that federal tax revenues have increased (particularly corporate).
 
The smear machine is in overdrive over AOC. They see her as a huge threat or they wouldn't be devoting this much coverage to her. It would not shock me if she ended up first female POTUS, based on the dearth of contenders in that category and the attention she's receiving and how great she looks and comes across on camera and during interviews.

I don't much care about anything she's had to say on policy, she's young and learning still. Hopefully for her sake she's bright enough to have a better career than the last young superstar, Paul Ryan, who is bright and charismatic and it's unfortunate he's fizzled out of politics because he can't bear the guilt of belonging to a toxic party.

You seem incredibly confused on how marginal and effective tax rates work.

Lol! That's terrific!

There's no need to smear her, her quotes are comedy gold. They stand on their own and they're wonderful. And she doesn't come across good on TV but she is entertaining.

Her future:
As a double-secret-probation junior congrissgurl cadet, she's given a set budget to cover all of her expenses, and, after she's done paying all of her staff their "$15/hr min fair share" she'll barely have enough left to buy a stapler for her office in a broom closet.

It's about a given that hyphen-teeth thinks The Capitol is a big cookie jar she can just reach into and pull out whatever she needs, but that notion is going to get slapped out of her empty head very fast, and very hard.

Additional Information for House Offices
  • There is a single account, the Members’ Representational Allowance, from which all expenses are paid.
  • All Members do not have the same MRA (determined by distance from DC, cost of district office space, and number of district postal drops).
  • The Committee on House Administration does the calculations and will inform you of your MRA. Recently, MRAs ranged from $1.25 million to $1.43 million (Puerto Rico is higher), with an average of $1.315 million.

She's going to burn through it like a kid in a candy store, that's a given, and she's already declared herself to be above the dirty-money lobbyist game, and so she's going to learn the hard way that politics is a money game, and they won't even deal you in if you've got no money to put on the table.
 
@Farmer Br0wn

I don't know that there are any electric hybrid tractors that can do this.


Tesla's has an electric semi-truck, which is a class 8 with 80,000-lb capacity and a range of up to 500 miles on a single charge.

Likely not in 12 years but it's headed that way. We are going to get to the point where batteries can hold a long enough charge that even if they take an hour to charge it wont matter anyways because the drivers will be ready for a rest.

Thank you for making my point. I couldn't give less of a shit about the opinions of new junior Republican house members, nor do I care what AOC says. What I do know is that you guys are losing your shit over a brand new junior house member and paying attention to and dissecting everything she says, and that's not how you treat a nobody who poses no threat.
 
Not a good answer at all.

During that same interview she suggested that facts are secondary to moral righteousness. I can't say I'm a big fan after seeing this.

The Chinese are developing a solar highway that charges vehicles as they drive. When long distance superconductivity is a reality solar farms will put the issue to rest.

I don't get the people who seem to WANT solar and other renewable energy to fail.

Yeah, quite frankly it's nuts. On top of making that claim she deflected. Not a good interview at all.
 
I'll give you a hint.

One time repatriation of funds
And the sugar high of tax cuts look like they're coming to an end. There's really no doubt that the tax cuts bill has reduced tax revenue regardless of whether they're up overall historically.
