AOC is going to do this noble act and still stay within budget by cutting the salaries of other, more senior members of her staff. She will not be giving up anything and will retain all of her lucrative Congressional salary.
No matter what AOC pays her staff it's no skin off her nose. The money comes from taxpayers, not her. She has never owned a business nor met a payroll, so why should be care, beyond the publicity that is?
Democratic Socialism: Re-distribution of misery to make the distributors less miserable.
Laugh if you must but Liberals are going to see this as principled. I’m telling ya, this chick is trouble.
We didn’t elect you, or anybody there, to “run the country”. You are running the government, which SERVES the country.
And we don’t really care about staffers, who also are not “running the country”, they are there to help you SERVE the country.
And if you want to pay incompetent people too much money, and then try to pay the competent staffers nothing so you have more money to pay the incompetent ones, that is fine with me, it will be fun to see how many of your staffers actually quit because nobody wants to be paid less than what they are worth, or to have to work with incompetent peolple making just as much as they are.
