Just like FDR did in 1936 to put the US into a double Depression just when we started to pull out of it. Great scene in My Man Godfrey, the 1936 version.

So she wants poor people to start paying taxes? Many people under 40k dont’ pay anything, so perhaps I could support raising their taxes.
It is untrue that poor people do not pay taxes. That is why democrats created the lottery specifically to tap that market

She says when you earn your “10 millionth dollar,” the margin kicks in. Does Maxine Waters know about this, as one who could become the latest billionaire after a month or two chairing the House finance and banking committee?

AOC probably hasn’t made the connection yet that her $174K salary puts her in the top 1% of incomes.

Why not a wealth tax where the government just takes 70% of your acquired wealth?

Incomes over $10 million are so rare that a high tax rate on them would be peanuts to the fedgov.

And super wealthy Democrats in DC and Hollywood will, Im certain, back her by voluntarily upping their contribution to 70%, as a matter of principle.

I agree with her, only tax them 99% since almost all of them are freakin hardcore Rat supporters. Let’s tax Dork F*ckerturd, Jeff Bozos, the Kock brothers 99% see how much they support the left then.

Ocasio-Cortez might be dumb. But her strategy is not so dumb. Her latest ramblings have given her more free publicity. And a 70% tax on the evil rich would be welcomed by most liberals. They would see it as a VERY good thing.
So if I were advising her, I’d say keep up these attacks on the “rich”. And keep up with all that ‘Green New Deal’ nonsense. And then write a book about it. It would sell like hotcakes.
And as her adviser I would, of course, get a 15% cut (in cash only please, so I don’t have to report it).

Why not 85% or 90%?
Exactly, because that's still not enough.
