If Ocasio-Cortez is labeled the leftist Palin, and labeled a n airhead or something, I would still say she's the leftist airhead we need.
- yes yes... please hire the inexperienced bartender to make economic decisions on my behalf! ...a 29 year old socialist fool... have fun w/that.PonyBoy
- love how folks point out that NAZI has the word 'nationalist' in it to attack alt-right twats... but forget the other half of the term.. 'socialist'PonyBoy
- @pony hitler abandoned socialism after killing top lieutenants on kristallnacht, also socialism maintains the entire upper class of americacolin_s
- late capitalism is brutal to our middle and lower class, mass redistribution of wealth and high taxes on ultra-rich and corporations are goodcolin_s
- AOC ain't an airhead, that's just press because neoliberal dems don't like her because they're all in lobbyist pockets as wellcolin_s
- She's as qualified to be in Congress as much as most of the other cunts there.BusterBoy
- I'm in total agreement w/Buster... colin... some valid points. (and to be clear I don't think modern day nationalists or socialists are anything like NAZIs...PonyBoy
- ... was just being a rhetorical dick) :) As far as capitalism goes— capitalism seems to hold up better than socialism (historically)... yes we need changes...PonyBoy
- ... but you don't need upwards of 80% of someone's income to make those changes. I wonder if she makes a good long island... love long ice teas. <3PonyBoy
- Hmm. I need more data before chiming in. This is a delicate situation . I'm glad she's out there, tho********
- @pony i guess i find the great irony in that the "great america" the right always speaks of was formed from 90% tax rates (eisenhower)colin_s
- and still subsequently high rates until reagan came along - the wealth that accumulated to a few during his era was off the backs of the middle classcolin_s
- If that sits right in your heart (to snake that much earned money from any one person) then run w/it. I personally find it disgusting that anyone's income be...PonyBoy
- ...pilfered at anything close to that rate. It IS 'theft'... let's not dick around w/words. I know a number millionaires that do NOT abuse workers (or don't...PonyBoy
- ... have any to abuse)... and most certainly do NOT use public resources to point they should be taxed at such a rate.PonyBoy
- Notice AOC is being snubbed by the Democrat old guard kaball, but you know she's gonna crash that party as well... Trump is right, she's got energy.robotron3k
- I just saw an excerpt of her interview with Anderson Cooper, holy fuk she slashes and burns with her words. G'luck with that...robotron3k
- she has a "cum laude" degree in international relations and economics. She's more formally qualified than most of Trump's cabinet.lowimpakt
- College is not experience... it may be education focused on one’s ideals but it isn’t shit for real world experience.PonyBoy
- It’s a good foundation for that experience and the experience she ha about to have.monospaced
- I prefer old white men to decide...LOL!********
- isn't it just the income over and above the top rate that gets taxed at the top rate - rather than your entire income?Fax_Benson
- it's not like 70% tax rate leaves you with 30% of your income. If the top rate is $5m, you get taxed top rate on anything over $5mFax_Benson
- I think you should avoid taxing income as far as possible and focus on static wealth - piles of cash that just sit there contributing nothingFax_Benson
- if people are earning so much they can't spend it, may as well tax it to fuck.Fax_Benson
- piles of cash don't contribute nothing ... it accumulates interest and/or dividends, and can support lifestyles alonemonospaced
- PonyPony, "qualified" means "officially recognized as being trained to perform a particular job; certified."lowimpakt
- the tax rate she proposed is 70% above $10m, and nobody needs that.colin_s
- ifw the green new deal. lets goBrokenHD
- Hmmm..********
- Young Marx was a babe let's do it.********
- a piece of paper is not experience, low lowPonyBoy
- I didn't say it was experience, I said qualified. They are different thingslowimpakt
- i don't know Ocasio's agenda but if we are taxing high carbon footprints and putting that into green infrastructure then thats been my way to go for awhile now.********
- take from the green, give to the green. its balanced********
- She said run train? Next Palin coming up...********
- I wouldn't be surprised if she became exploited as a distraction and eventually discarded. Lets see what happens********
- I still can't believe she said that. What a knob!!********
