EXCERPT:
For instance, has anyone ever asked Ocasio-Cortez if, generally speaking, she believes a billionaire-free Cuban system that ostensibly offers free health care, guaranteed housing, a free education, and greater income equality is preferable to the United States’s vulgar, capitalistic model? If not, why not?
After all, what guiding ideological principle stops Ocasio-Cortez from supporting confiscatory policies? Why not nationalize the fossil fuel industry? This is our last chance to save humanity, after all. If she really believes the fight against climate change is analogous to the war against fascism — a war that cost the lives of somewhere around 80 million people worldwide — then why wouldn’t she propose taxing the wealthy at 50 or 60 percent across the board? If income inequality and concentrated wealth are a problem almost as dangerous as climate change, would she be negligent if she failed to support those policies?
That is, of course, the end goal. Ocasio-Cortez, like many others, likes to claim that the rich do not pay their “fair share.” Right now, the top 50 percent of taxpayers pay around 97 percent of all individual income taxes. The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes than the bottom 90 percent combined. Has anyone asked Ocasio-Cortez what a reasonable percentage would be for them to contribute to the common good? Ninety-five percent? Ninety-nine?
does she prefer: AOC (an obstinate communist) or AOC (an opportunistic cretin)?
The Cuban system is not billionaire-free.
The Castro’s were billionaires or very close.
WHAT is your name?
WHAT is your quest?
WHAT is the unladen airspeed of a swallow?
What do you mean, African or European swallow?
She is on ‘twitter.’ Ask her. Twitter works both ways doesn’t it?
What does she think about Castro; executioner Che Guevara? He killed the successful farmers and business owners, just like the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, N Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia. They all failed due to no business.
Here’s a question I’d like to ask AOC:
“Imagine, when you were a bartender, if you had maybe $100 in tips at the end of a shift, and a guy in a hoodie with a gun came up and stole it from you.
“Now let’s say he then went out an spent that $100. Would that add $100 to the economy?
“Would you then say that criminals make the economy grow?
“If so, how?
“If not, then why does it help the economy when the government takes the money you have earned and spends it?’
Laugh at her all you want. She’s going to be elected president in 20 years. I don’t blame her.
I blame the stupidity of the American people who will do it, and the stupidity of them today who are letting our country be overrun by the idiots who will elect her.
Oy don’t know that! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
Send her to Cuba on a 2 year “fact-finding” mission.
African or European?

A total of 76 nations have billionaires as citizens. Norway has 14, as does the Philippines. Cyprus has 6.
AOC called Sweden a model economy. They have 31, which is twice as many, percentage wise, as the eeeeevil US.
Cuba has 2 (and both reside in the US).
Pakistan (#6, at 203m), Ethiopia (#13 at 98m), Congo (#16 at 86m) and Iran (#18 at 82m) are the largest nations without one. These seem to be the fine and righteous and moral economies that AOC wants us to emulate... Pakistan, Ethiopia, Congo, and Iran.

Question number one to Vladimir Lenin: “the hammers” is the nickname of what English football team?

Pakistan has billionaires, but they don’t live there.
Other places have them, or more of them, but there are problems tracking assets. To put it nicely.
People like AOC exists because Republicans don’t have the guts to educate people on the evils of Marxism and most of them are Marxists themselves, only that they are controlled opposition to create the facade of a two-party system.
