Better Watch Out: AOC & Fellow Socialists Are Coming for YOUR Earnings

First they came for the top 1%. Now they’re aiming for the next 4% down.

How long before socialists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come for you? The congresswoman and her fellow far-lefties are now demanding new tax hikes on not just the top 1%, but the top 5% of New York earners — meaning tax filers making as little as $250,000 a year, as the Empire Center’s Tim Hoefer notes in the Wall Street Journal.

For couples, that’s a mere $127,000 each — roping in, for starters, more than 168,000 New York state and local government employees, including many school staffers, police and fire officials. The top rate would be an off-the-charts 24%, nearly double California’s 13.3% figure, the next-highest.

The first program announced by incoming Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson was called “First We Get The Money.”

All my working life (since I was 16), whenever the Dims say they were going to increase taxes on just the rich they wound up increasing my taxes too.

For those who didn’t learn, the Federal income tax only affected the super wealthy. That’s why it was so popular. The rich paid their tax once a year on March 15. Time passes and the Federal government needs more taxes, so the threshold is lowered. Come WWII and not only does the threshold start touching the working average man, but wages are withheld from salary, ie. you owe the money as soon as the money is earned.

Some wonder where the snatch and grab people learned their lessons from.

In another report, the journalist writing the article made repeated statements about how the dead guy was a member of ANTIFA and proudly self-identified in his social media accounts, as well as stating that his "girl-pal" was some sort of high mucky-muck in the local BLM group and had been involved in several/many of the "mostly peaceful" riots for which they were responsible.

It appears that the talking points have changed and they're now omitting these facts in their articles. I guess too many people were expressing unsympathetic responses as a result of including those factoids.

Deceit. It's the Dem's middle name.

Taxing the middle class (starting with the upper middle class) into oblivion is their hobby.

AOC is not stupid, bty. A committed socialist as the author suggests? An easy observation.

It will be a boon for all of the adjacent states when everyone making over $250K moves out of NY. That will open up more housing in NYC for illegal aliens, so Texas can increase their shipments of illegal aliens to NY.

It will be a win-win for everyone!

Sorry, posted to wrong thread.

I posted this a while ago:

Tax the rich = tax anyone who has a job.

AOC is in fact a blithering idiot. Most of any of her statements over the years bears out that undeniable fact.

Her communist leanings came via her marxist boyfriend. This is documented fact as well.

I wish someone would go after Biden’s stealings.

[Seaplaner]

I'll wager that she's smarter (and thus more of a concern) than many think. Wrong? Yup, on everything, but blindered away from the obvious as so many leftists are.

[jmacusa]

AOC has a nice rack. Other than that as far as intellectual capacity she’s dead from the neck up.

She should be pole dancing.

[Dave911]

Good, they voted for the commie idiot. Now they can pay for it.

[skinny old man]

You said that right !
