Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: Americans Should "Just Say No" To Going Back To Work After Reopening Society
Real Clear Politics ^ | 4/22/20 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/23/2020 2:30:52 AM PDT by Libloather

In an interview with VICE's Anand Giridharadas, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said people should just say "no" to going back to work when the President speaks about reopening the economy and society.

"When we talk about this idea of 'reopening society' you know, only in America, does the President, when the President tweets about liberation, does he mean go back to work," the Congresswoman said. "When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say 'no,' we’re not going back to that. We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives."

Working 70 hour weeks just to put food on the table is what socialists do best, I thought.

"We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks just."

The only people in America who work 70 hours a week are the poor associates at top tier law firms and a some medical interns.

They know what they are getting into and are making an investment in their future.

Only in America would a ditsy Congressmember equate "working for a living" with "thralldom."

Who in the F is “we,” bitch? When you give up that government check, get back to us.

...Said the little brat with the guaranteed $144,000 annual paycheck from struggling taxpayers.....

And let's not forget the perks this ignoramus and her cohorts are burdening the taxpayers with.

The legend is once they get into Congress, they do not spend even a cent of their Congressional salaries....the salary is all gravy.

They connive to bill ALL of their day-to-day expenses to the taxpayers.

AOC, "just say no" to going back to your
"job" in the House of Representatives. No one will
miss you except for the lunatics at MSNBC.

Where does Miss HFBT (Horse Face Brain Trust) think STUFF comes from, the store? Goobermint could issue a debt-financed trillion-dollar check to every citizen, and if nobody’s working, making the STUFF, there ain’t gonna be anything to buy with it. Moron.

In many Massachusetts schools you get good grades for carrying the Marxists’ water, not learning course material.

I saw a meme awhile ago:

This Chinese Virus is trying to turn me into a Democrat.

It’s got me staying at home,
not working,
complaining about everything,
and waiting on my stimulus check.

How about we cut your congressional salary, Sandy? I mean nobody else is entitled to earn a living during this crisis right? So why should you? You need a real attitude adjustment, because people the do “real work” pay your salary.
