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. …

She got those hyperthyroid eyes and resulting bony complexion. That woman is a certified hyperventilating hyperactive nut case. Her aggressiveness is only going to get worse.

first the wait til November to see if she gets elected/selected

**************

She’s a lock in her district. There’s nothing she could do that will prevent her from becoming their representative.

Her performance in congressional hearings will provide some “memorable” moments. Guaranteed.

Here’s a better idea.

Stop the useless spending and let people pay their own way.

Then it’s on them if they make it or not.

Don’t stop there.
I can’t live without food. I want free food.
I need heat to survive up here in the north. I want free heat.
I need free clothes. Can’t get a job or hold one without them.
I need a free car. That includes registration and insurance. I can’t go to work without one.

Absolutely, but we need to promulgate the “Democrat-Socialist” tag and encourage ALL GOP reps to use it, relentlessly.

“They don’t have mass transit.”

And we don’t want/need it either-aside from being financially doomed because rural areas are too sparsely populated to support mass anything-with more land dedicated to growing fruit and veggies and the raising/keeping of livestock-aka “food”-vehicles are required by anyone with crops or livestock to sell in order to transport the produce and meat animals to market and slaughterhouse-if that doesn’t happen, then city idiots like Cortez will starve, since they are incapable of producing food and depend on rural areas for it-if that dumbass has a degree in Economics, she certainly didn’t get it by paying attention in class-no wonder she was working as a bartender...

That would be awesome. It would turn her into a martyr ala Sanders.

Every minute she spends in front of a tv camera solidifies the impression that the democrats are no longer a serious national party and simply cannot be trusted any longer to govern.

Did she chew through Steny’s muzzle?

I thought the deal was she was supposed to pretend to be a moderate like all the other Dems

Seems like I've heard all this rubbish before.

None of it was ever implemented because the previous politicians espousing this communist rhetoric, all lost their elections.

At the time I was driving a ‘95 & a ‘99. Good thing it was voluntary.

I think the cash was more than they were worth put together.

But no government cheese for me.

Good God! We would be so exposed to invasion. No money for war and struggling to keep the lights on.

Forward charge! Oh wait we have to wait for the wind to start blowing or the sun to come up.
