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. …

Will someone please, Please ask the Dims, Leftists, Socialist Communists:

She's the epitome of a Democrat.
Problem is, these statements don’t sound stupid to Millennials because of the way government schools have miseducated them.
Raise income tax rates to an average of 60%, confiscate savings over $100k and nationalize the 100 largest corporations and it wouldnt be enough to pay for even a year of these give aways. Year two would be tough as the total US economy would tank.
His friend Margaret Thatcher said that.
“...….. She’ll Raise a Trillion Here, A Trillion There”...….
From what I understand, selling drugs can make one rather wealthy. She’s from Puerto Rico and probably knows a lot of people down there, many who produce drugs.
“I thought the 1% share of taxes was over 50%.”

It probably went up to 50% during the Obama years.
The 38% figure in my head was likely BO.....Before Obama.
Free housing. I want my home on Cape Cod. Give it to me now.
She is so stupid that I have to wonder if it is possible that the Republican might win this seat!
I’ve some friends who works bartending and they tell me it pays very good. But she sees the mega millions potential that a DC political makes plus a lifetime pension of full salary.
Crowley is still on the ballot.

Yes, but its due to a complicated filing issue. He’s technically running under some Working Families party but it won’t get him elected.
The Democrat party philosophy is that it's better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.
Critical thinking and rational thinking skills do not exist on the Democrat plantation. The repeated reelection of people like Mad Max is proof of the rank and file's insanity. Their members inability to connect Democrat run cites with the hell-holes they are is further proof of their blindness and ignorance. When I think Democrat, I think slavery.
