Do they realize that they'd likely cause the US economy to FAIL if we went to zero carbon that fast? I know Audi is releasing a great new electric car in 2019. But these are baby steps. Oil/gas retail, oil/gas exploration, car manufacturers, auto parts suppliers and manufacturers to say nothing of ancillary things like GPS, leather, Bluetooth, chemicals, etc.. etc.... These industries can't retool or vanish in 10-12 years time.
And I'm getting pissed about this "fair share" bull$hit. What exactly is the "fair" number? I paid 15 times more income tax last year than the national average. that means I paid my share and the share of 14 other people. Yet I don't get 15 votes on election day, I don't get water out of my tap 15 times hotter, the police and fire don't come to my house 15 times faster. But I do it because that's the way it works. Fine. I'm privileged. I'd like not to be constantly taken to task for doing so.
This bitch is dangerous. So stupid she’s dangerous.
Would that include her family ?
DOA in the Senate.
By all means, push that through the House.
Yes and the electricity that charges them just come out of the air.......
She’s going to get muzzled by her own party pretty quickly.
...Well, I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country,” she said. “Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation..
And the Democrats are still mad about that.
There’s a Fort Marcy Park somewhere in her future.
Take the money from the rich liberal celebrities who all despise Trump..start with Cher, Chelsea Handler, Rosie O Donnell, Robert De Niro, and all the rest of them..see how they react to a 70 percent tax on their sorry a@@es
The ultra-wealthy Pelosi and the ultra-wealthy Feinstein (and a whole bunch more rich Democrats) probably wouldn’t be real keen on O-C’s idea. After all, they only like to spend other peoples’ money.
Sounds like a Green Deal for politicians.
“Occasional Cortex”
That’s what I’m calling her from now on.
Yes, I would consider her a “floater”.
She should be willing to pay the same rate she demands for others.
Start docking her pay 70%.
Here salary puts her in a rather rarefied category compared to the general populace.
She will make $174,000 dollars this year. https://work.chron.com/us-house-representatives-salary-8425.html
That $174,000 will put you in the 96th percentile of wage earners. https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/
Also lost in the translation is that there is an effect on the WORLD ECONOMY. The USofA is the SPARKPLUG of the world’s economy, a sneeze here is a flu epidemic there. Occasional-Cortex pays no attention to this in her quest for a SOCIALIST UTOPIA that is impossible to create. She does strongly remind me of the fools that say SOCIALISM will work, it just has never been done properly. To quite the eminent philosopher, Bugs Bunny, “What a Maroon!”
Dumb a$$ democrats.
Since electricity is manufactures using exactly the kinds of things she wants to suddenly be made illegal, not to mention the fact that in many different areas of this nation wind and solar power won't produce ANY energy at all, just WHAT does this Cretin imagine is going to be readily available to power everything we use?
Can't we somehow just send her to Venezuela?
How Progressive of her....
Ocasio-Cortez floats floater 70 percent tax on rich to pay for 'Green New Deal'
She apparently doesn’t realize the rich are now supporting the Democrats. Watch out crossing the road tonight.
