Solely judging by your posts which feel like they came out an NPC word generator, I'm sure AOC knows much more about economics than you. Nah I highly doubt that. . First off, AOC is an openly proud Socialist . She doesn't even hide it(that alone tells me all I need to know about her knowledge of economics and its not good ) She also proposed the Green New Deal (a flat out insanely unrealistic & not even feasible plan that AOC proposed. She said the Green New Deal would cost at least $10 TRILLION dollars. I am a firm believer in global warming & climate change and love the environment but I can also think the Green New Deal is a dumb unrealistic idea. "I think we really need to get to $10 trillion to have a shot," the freshman lawmaker told The Hill on Wednesday, adding, "I know it's a ton. I don't think anyone wants to spend that amount of money, it's not a fun number to say, I'm not excited to say we need to spend $10 trillion on climate, but ... it's just the fact of the scenario."
www.businessinsider.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-says-green-new-deal-cost-10-trillion-2019-6She sure does seem to be perfectly fine spending other peoples' money though. I'll give her that smh. I'm a Moderate btw and I just can't support extremists on either sides of aisle. Correction: You're a DUMB CUNT, and you can't support non-dumb cunts on either side of the aisle. Lucky you, one side has nothing BUT dumb cunts, so stick with your scumfuck Republitwat brethren. Green New Deal is 100% feasible, 100% common-sense and it's 100% what the country needs to survive climate change. Only someone who knows ZERO about economics would describe something so common-sense as the GND as "insanely unrealistic." And again, only a RW imbecile posing as a moderate would call AOC an "extremist." No REAL moderate would consider AOC extremist. If anything, true progressives (i.e. the people SMARTER THAN YOU) wish she was just a tad extreme. But she's not.

Also, now that you've unmasked yourself, it's about damn time you change your dopey profile pic. Forget how irritating it is seeing that smug face before reading your odious tripe, I GUARAN-MOTHERFUCKING-TEE YOU your boy Pine would DESPISE your politics!! He's a pretty open far leftist. Good chance he could be one of the "elite" yucking up with Queen Alexandria.

AOC isn't even that wealthy as far as members of Congress goes and even if she was some uber-millionaire, doesn't a rich person saying to tax the rich give the argument more credibility? You can have money or be around people with money and think that money would be better served towards public goods. It's a pretty dumb argument to say it's hypocritical to have money and want higher taxes on the rich, but it's also mostly coming from the people who would think anybody who's poor or in the shrinking middle class making that same statement are just bitter losers lacking the work ethic to be millionaires. Ever-increasing wealth inequality exists and all people, rich and poor, should be encouraged to talk about it. You definitely make some good & fair points. And I am all for the ultra wealthy elite paying more in taxes. Really the only thing I was pointing out in regards to AOC being a hypocrite is because of her lack of self awareness. For example, some people aren't aware that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a benefactor of the Met Gala and donations to it are tax deductible. These celebs make millions a year and can deduct $50,000 from their taxes. That's all fine to me but it ends up being a huge loss of tax revenue that the state can use to help more poor people in need . It goes against everything that AOC seems to stand for. she should have spoken out on the hypocrisy of the Met Gala This writer for Slate worded it better than I could. slate.com/human-interest/2021/09/aoc-met-gala-dress-tax-the-rich-aurora-james.htmlHonestly though as another poster on here pointed out, this is pretty much a "non story". I got a good laugh from it. No big deal really.

There’s a deeper underlying issue in the pic. The dress is not the issue and idk why it’s causing controversy, this clout chasing nonsense from her is par for the course and shouldn’t surprise anyone. Why don’t we talk about how all the poors are being forced to mask up while the rich elites get to show off those smiles. Look at every single clip from this, every single pic and see who’s wearing a mask and who’s not. And not just from this event but from other elitist events too like that dinner/reception/whatever the fuck it was last month that Nancy Pelosi hosted. All the politicians and celebrities unmasked, servants and caterers not allowed to show their faces. Our ruling elite are absolutely shameless Agreed. Its fucking ridiculous how much these POS elites get away with. They have this "Do as I say, not as I do" mantra about them.

Good chance he could be one of the "elite" yucking up with Queen Alexandria. "my boy"? I've never met the guy before lol. I don't care if Chris Pine is a far left liberal. That's all good in my book and most of my friends are liberal Democrats. They just don't act like complete unhinged pussies like you Plus, I'm a firm believer and supporter of people with different opinions on things (especially in politics) I have a wide range of friends with different view points on things. Its still possible to be civil about things. Its funny to me that if someone disagrees with a far left wing Socialist then they get labeled as a right wing conservative Republican when that's just not the case. Stop thinking in extremes. Its not all black & white. And its good to know that my avatar irritates you. I think I'll keep it.
