Michael Moore says Dems need to accept far-left Cortez as party leader: 'No middle ground anymore'
Fox News ^ | 2/03/19 | Louis Casiano

Posted on 02/03/2019 9:03:48 AM PST by Libloather

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore declared U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the new leader of the Democratic Party, while urging political moderates to take a position because there “is no middle ground anymore.”

“She is the leader. Everybody knows it. Everybody feels it,” Moore said of the freshman congresswoman from New York during a Friday interview on MSNBC.

Moore said the age requirement to run for president - 35 - should be constitutionally amended so that Ocasio-Cortez could make a play for the White House. He said Ocasio-Cortez is the leader of a movement, citing a Fox News poll that showed voters favored her proposal to increase the tax rate to 70 percent for the richest Americans.

Moore also urged those with moderate views to “take a position,” in response to a question about whether someone like Ocasio-Cortez, with very progressive politics, could turn off moderates.

There never has been a middle ground with the Left.

he has no understanding that with the party moving to the left as it has that the next step in the evolution of the demacrat party is going to be the persecution of people like him who have supported leftist ideology but live a life of luxury and privilege. the moment he does something that is counter to the wants of another sociopath or psychopath that is now in charge of the party he will be gone after to do one of two things. get rid of or gain control of him. all Michael Moore is to this group is an asset to be controlled by this group or destroyed out of fear that he will do the same.

“They say that Mr Krispy Kreme is worth about $50 million.I have no doubt that he'd be fine with the Treasury seizing all but $500,000 of his net worth and all but $75,000 of his net yearly income (every year).He'd understand that it would be for “peace”...the “environment”...and “transgendereds” and that he'd still be among the very richest individuals on earth.” During WWII the top tax rate was increased to 90%. Eisenhower dropped it to 70%. Kennedy dropped it even further, 50% I think. Reagan dropped it to 36% which is about where it has remained since. However, during the past almost eighty years of fluctuations to the top tax rate the Net Effective Tax Rate for the top bracket has remained constant at 19%. What does this mean? It means that the Uber Weakthy are smarter than the rest of us or they employ people who are smarter than us so to avoid paying such ridiculously high rates. Smoke and mirrors, that’s all. Makes the liberal kool-aide drinkers feel good 😂....

I’m pretty sure he’s enthusiastic about handing over 70% of his dough to her every year. The “dollars to doughnuts” exchange rate makes that a pretty big mountain of sugar he’ll be missing.

One of the reasons I became a conservative is when it finally dawned on me how hypocritical liberals were/are. All of the people pictured are laughable to even think they can tell others to live simply while they are doing the opposite to excess.

I have no problem with wealthy people living their high flying lives.......until they think they can lecture me. Shut up!

OK, Mikey, put your money where your mouth is (I know there is not much room with that cheeseburger there);

First step: Give 70% of all your present and future money and assets to AOC. Write that check today. Tomorrow you can start transferring title to your real estate.

He’s right, possibly for the first time in his well-fed life. There are those who want America destroyed and those who want America to remain free, no middle ground. I’ll choose freedom, and I’ll oppose Moore’s totalitarian agenda.

There should be an obesity tax, part of the whole carbon credits scam.

Incredible. She’s 29 and has been in congress less than a month. The Dems have lost their minds.

Don't kid yourself
