You don’t really make a profit in your first year, To get taxed on top of that is a real whammy.”


You don’t get taxed on a loss. AAMOF, you can use tax loss carry forward to reduce the tax when you finally get profitable.

The article refers to AOC as the left’d ‘rising star.’

I bet Pelosi considers her more of a pain in the ass.

Why does she NEED EIGHTEEN full-time staff people?

AOC takes after Chewbaca.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

- a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program.

The principle refers to free access and distribution of goods, capital and services.

She’s “creating” what Democrats are now calling “moral jobs.” The Amazon jobs would have paid filthy lucre in the private sector to oppressed workers, ergo those are “immoral jobs.”

We are going to hear a LOT more of their new favorite phrase “moral jobs” in the next two years. It’s the only way they have found that might have a chance of tearing down the Trump Economy.

Somehow a job in the most immoral, corrupt institution in the entire United States (the federal government) is a “moral job.”

“She is not paying them out of her salary.”

Tough to share your salary while living in a high rent apartment, buying designer clothing, and maintaining your New York residence. Like other liberals she will take care of her own needs and expect others to pick up the tab for her good deeds.

"Not as dumb as those who voted for her.

Exactly! That's where the problem lies. Too many here are slamming this stupid and misguided socialist. We should instead be looking into the system that gets such people elected to office in America. How did it get so bad?

wherefore did this mystery ‘median wage’ of $158K come from? other than it’s 20K less than what she’s making as a rookie.

Does she even understand that in the majority of ‘merica, $30K a year for an ‘assistant’ is the norm in private employment?

Yes, let see how long those experienced people who will get pay cuts so the entry level folks can make out of the gate what took them years to earn, stuck around...

Leaving her with inept, inexperienced entry level staffers.

I am quite sure the starting salary at $52,000.00 also had something to do with her BOYFRIEND being hired as a staff member, I would be VERY interested to know what his STARTING salary is!!!

Regardless of what he's being paid because he has to put up with her, he's being underpaid. Could you imagine having to listen to that dingbat all day long and nodding your head and proclaiming "Wow, that's a great idea!!" while thinking 'Good God, our cat is smarter than her'?

Yes, but with those crazy eyes, you know she’s up for anything in the sack. He’d do that job for free. And he will ultimately be very sorry.

Not a single sentence about reducing staff levels. Nope.
Flipping crap. At MOST, each congress critter should have 3 assistants. 1 Admin, 2 assistants for various tasks and different opinions to bounce ideas off. That’s it. “Public servants” my eye!

$1K for rent? A decent apartment even in Milwaukee is $1500-$2500. $1K will get you a place in the barrio or inner city.
