She is a great lesson for the dems, not that there is anything they can do about it. They imagine that they can bring in a new electorate and that this new electorate will be so grateful they will just keep voting for them. Doesn't seem to be working out that way.
Ocasio-Cortez may take on Wall Street, fellow Democrats on finance panel
- Thread starter Banjo
- Start date
She is cute and pretty but I simply cannot believe that an extreme leftist from a liberal city is going to make the entire country lurch towards socialism when we have nearly full employment and some semblance of a future under current conditions.
It's not hard to imagine. Look at Maxine Waters. Who the hell keeps voting for HER?
Look at Bernie Free Shit for Everyone. Even the smart millennial's voted for him.
There are numerous examples on both sides. And when the economy is doing well, it's not even a factor in an election. People will be focused on shit like gender identity and guns and abortion and who's going to pay for my sex change operation. You know, the really important shit.
Lurch towards Socialism ? Lurch towards Financial Collapse and US Poverty, somebody on crack makes more sense then 70 % Tax Rate past 10 million dollars earned, you are just asking for serious capital outflow. Countries like Jersey Channel Islands offer 0 % Corporate Tax... Forget China, the biggest threat to the United States is the new wave of Hardcore Socialism
Look on the bight side, the US may finally become a net recipient of foreign aid after a term or two of Ocasio as President.
you're not unless making 10+ million
Yeah that is where the tax increases will stop.
Now we have fewer deductions and yet Dems want to return to the worst tax levels.
It all started with just 1 percent and a little class warfare.

Congress re-adopted the income tax in 1913, levying a 1% tax on net personal incomes above $3,000, with a 6% surtax on incomes above $500,000. By 1918, the top rate of the income tax was increased to 77% (on income over $1,000,000) to finance World War I. The top marginal tax rate was reduced to 58% in 1922, to 25% in 1925, and finally to 24% in 1929. In 1932 the top marginal tax rate was increased to 63% during the Great Depression and steadily increased.

Ocasio said to increase the marginal tax rate; I know righties want to make it sound like she said the effective income tax rate.
My point is so what.
Look at California. First its assault rifles (or wherever you wish to start on the infringement of our freedom) ... then its an ever narrower list of guns. Now its ammo.
Most govt power and money grabs never end.
How often does a lefty say... lets give back some freedom.
