Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Faces Poverty’s Demise Worldwide!
American Spectator ^ | January 9, 2019 | R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.

Posted on 01/10/2019 12:25:05 PM PST by Twotone

As every public-spirited citizen of these United States knows by now, 29-year old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. She, of a sudden, represents New York’s 14th District, having beaten what the mainstream media calls an old white male by the name of Joe Crowley, though why the color of his skin should matter is a mystery. Miss Ocasio-Cortez also has perfectly lovely white skin, much like Mr. Crowley and even Senator Elizabeth Warren, despite her ever-changing genealogy. Yet only Crowley receives the media’s “white skin” charge.

Actually I am not certain Miss Ocasio-Cortez is really 29 years old. I have reviewed her public utterances since she entered public life some 12 months ago and she sounds more like a 14-year-old. Yet somewhere along the way she acquired a taste for economics, which in her flighty mind she confuses with expropriation of the wealth of those she considers “rich.” Bearing in mind that her last job in the private sector was as a bartender, her conception of “rich” might extend to the guy at the end of the bar who drinks champagne. He will not be drinking champagne for long if Alexandria has her way. She is a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, in other words a reactionary. She and people like her have been missing how the world has changed, lo these past decades.

She would bring us back to the levels of taxation practiced forty years ago. Now she and other reactionary socialists, for instance Bernie Sanders, long for those days of higher taxes, lower growth, less stress on the world’s resources, more government control. In other words, life as it is lived in Cuba, but without the obtrusive dictatorship we are told.

I’ve always been embarrassed by my states’ first female congresswoman (the first female crowresscritter, Jeanette Rankin)...

Now not so much — GO NY!

The problem is that too many have been taught that socialism is the only truly fair way.

I don’t know what everyone’s so excited about, school taught me that socialism is just unemployment benefits, food stamps and welfare.

Right?

It seems like most of our 30-year olds are emotionally 14. That's the problem.

AO-C has just gone from tending bar to making $174,000 a month. Now, let’s see how much of that $14,500 a month she gives to those who are struggling to survive in racist America.

I don’t think you understand. It’s not up to the individuals to give their own money away. It is up to the government to take money from individuals and the government gives it away. That’s the only fair way. Actually, I’ve read that conservatives give much more of their income to charity than do Leftists.

Nice job. I’ve been thinking about doing that with a pole dancer, but haven’t seen the right picture.

Your first report is probably more accurate, what with corruption and all in addition to other opportunities will be presented to her. Consider the Obama’s and his work experience. At least she actually produced something useful, like Old Fashions.

Well done!
So why is it that she looks so much like a pole-dancer?

Many of the 60-70-80 year olds on that side aren't much better.
