Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, appearing on Trevor Noah’s show Thursday night, advocated for a “moral and ethical economy” that provides free health care, free college education, and “bold action on climate change” for the American people.
“We’re here to talk about wages; we’re here to talk about education; we’re here to talk about saving our planet; we’re here to talk about a carbon tax; we’re here to talk about people paying their fair share, and we’re here to talk about saving the country, frankly,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“How do you pay for these?” Noah asked the 28-year-old who defeated Rep. Joe Crowley, a ten-term Democrat leader, in the June primary in New York. […]
“… [O]ne of the things that we saw is, if people pay their fair share, if corporations and the ultra-wealthy — for example, as Warren Buffett likes to say, if he paid as much as his secretary pays, 15 percent — if he paid a 15 percent tax rate; if corporations paid — if we reverse the tax bill, but raised our corporate tax rate to 28 percent, which is not even as high as it was before, if we do those two things and also close some of those loopholes, that’s $2 trillion right there. That’s $2 trillion in ten years, and it’s — one of the wide estimates is that it’s going to take $3 trillion to $4 trillion to transition us to 100 percent renewable energy economy. …

Money well wasted.
Does she realize that she can tax the so-called 1% a tax rate of 100% and it won’t come close to funding all her idiotic giveaways? And you can only do this once. As the line in “Rounders” goes, you can shear a sheep many times but skin it only once.
I would like to see this person elected, given that a Democrat is inevitable in her district. Better would be a total upset and a Republican win even if he is a gope.
Roman dictators had no problem raising large sums of cash.
They would conquer and loot a nation or two.
Or they would murder their political opponents and confiscate all their stuff and if need be toss in enough random rich people to make up the difference.
She has a degree in Economics???????
From Where?
The University of Venezuela?.....................
Her Boston University Economics degree is bird cage liner.
Notice that Crowley still remains on the ballot and is backed by Democrat elites. This broad is going to lose and will return to bartending.
A little place called "F.U."?
She is so brilliant, Trump ought to send her to Venezuela to fix things.
Yeahbut people who have investigated that say it’s more like an international relations degree with some economics focus. Not a real “dismal science” degree with maths and all that hard stuff.
Personally, I think the ‘po folks’ and the freeloaders should pay their “fair share” also. NO ONE should be free of paying some taxes. That “earned income” crap as got to go. Getting a “refund” of money they never paid in just doesn’t sound right to the average Joe who has to actually pay taxes. That’s BS. JMO.
The only positive thing to say is Miss Omarxio-Cortez is at least open and honest about her rabid Communist agenda unlike her other fellow Commiecrats!
Thankfully she has to wait seven years before she can declare for the presidency.
—
first the wait til November to see if she gets elected/selected.
she’s beyond the threshold of morons and imbeciles...We’re talking twilight zone stupidity here..
Once the economy is destroyed by her “solutions” the demand for energy will be significantly reduced, thereby greatly lowering the costs to maintain the renewable energy. /sarc
Good post. Nicely done.
Like with Obama, the seas will drop and magical things will happen with her , and the liberals will buy it
What an effin’ retard.
A little commie girl in the body of a 28 year-old.
The planet doesn’t need “saving,” except from commie loons like this “Puerto Rican” girl and crazy old Bernie.
As for the rich paying their “fair share,” the top 1% earn 19% of the country’s income, but pay 38% of the taxes. In other words, they are paying DOUBLE what they should. Then there are state and local taxes, etc.
Most socialists are complete idiots lacking coherent thought...oh wait, we are talking Ocasio-Cortez here, my bad. /s =.=
