Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff Saikat Chakrabarti has praised his boss’s use of social media and communication, pointing out that she “changed the entire debate on tax in this country in a matter of days.”
“She’s good at communicating and she’s good at taking a message and actually educating people and getting people to realize how these very complex policies work,” Saikat told CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday.
The progressive 29-year-old representative from New York, who refers to herself as a Democratic Socialist, has pushed for a significant increase on income tax for the wealthiest Americans. Under her proposal, American taxpayers would be taxed at 70 percent on every dollar they make beyond $10 million in any given year. Ocasio-Cortez, her supporters and economic experts have pointed out that the idea is actually conservative compared to policies that were widely supported by Republicans and Democrats in the 1950s and 1960s, when top earners were taxed at more than 90 percent.

Not amazing at all...she symbolizes exactly what the left have been attempting to create the last 40 years by dumbing down students and the MSM’s Marxist propaganda
No. No she didn’t.
She said a lot of asinine and idiotic things that the press desperately wants to believe.

One of them is when asked what is the funding plan for her health system package she replied “When you want to do something you just pay for it. Just pay for it.”
Okay. I learned from that- - - - - Build the Wall. What about the House refusing the money?
“Just pay for it.”
Simple. Like Ocasio’s mind.

Can’t find a thing about where he came from - except from Fort Worth. Where was he born with a name like that?
Looks Indonesian.
I’d sure like to see a picture of this dame when she isn’t shouting! Does it ever happen?
Could be - name looks about right for there.
She would be a nobody if more than half the country wasn’t deranged people who want our property & our kids.
A wall is a one time fixed cost thing (mostly - maintenance and monitoring costs aside) health care will never EVER be fully funded because its impossible.
We can’t even feed or house our entire nation and these idiots want to go straight to health care.
Because it’s not about health care - it’s about power and control.
She thinks everyone in America wants 90% tax rates.
Do you really think they care about their neighbors?
Taxes ain’t about the “debate” on taxes. Taxes is about the number at the bottom of the form you gotta pay. There isn’t any debate about that. That’s the number on the check you write.
The current crop of youthful liberals charging the Dem party to the far left are first-termers who somehow find some kind of self-righteousness recycling the same old demagogic, class-envy crap that has been trotted out endlessly by the left. It’s at some point kind of weird the hear a whole new crop of younguns repeating the same crap that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. Isn’t it kind of funny how these first termers are reacting to their newly-found power? I suspect they like it. They like the adoration.
They’ve changed the dialog on social media? Who cares? Does that mean anything to anyone? Social media is for the most part a sewer inhabited mostly by dipwads. They are addicted to outrage, they are addicted to their hero worship, and in general; have the attention span of a gnat.
These candidates and the fools who follow them are woefully short on brain power. This is all just a lot of noise, and all these newbs are going to have plenty of opportunities to show what weird people they are. Especially Booker.
We can’t even feed or house our entire nation and these idiots want to go straight to health care.

Yes. We cannot do so many things now due to lack of funds and taxes being too high already.
Adding another group of illegal aliens and their children and chain migration relatives every week is never going to work. Even meeting the American citizens’ budget needs wasn’t done and adding millions of new border crossers will cause total breakdown.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme....
As Michael Savage said since the 1990s, the lack of enforced borders lets aliens in to climb into our lifeboat but our lifeboat is now full. More will sink it for all of us.
Trigglypuff dance!
In a nutshell, kids today seek instant gratification and popularity. This is easily gotten through social media, the internet, Youtube and such.
They want fame and fortune. Quick and easy. How many hits can I get on my Youtube video?
Anyhow this cortex girl from NYC falls into this train of thought. So does camera Hogg. Remember the kid from FLA?
She is not a politician. Just a camera hog. Attention whore. Nothing more. She is being egged on by the msm media. She won't go away as long as cameras are pointed at her.
She is the face of the young uneducated folks. Idiocracy has come to life in America. To defeat her, turn off the cameras.
That she’s even being talked about is simply disgusting.
We have to start referring to this as “punishment for achievements”. We have to paint AOC as a supporter of a different kind of hate.
re: “CORTEZ ‘CHANGED THE ENTIRE DEBATE ON TAX’ IN A ‘MATTER OF DAYS’ USING SOCIAL MEDIA, COS POINTS OUT”
Nah she didn’t. The lobbyists on K Street didn’t give what she said a second thought ...
There is no debate. AOC has shown herself to be an absolute idiot and liar. By idiot I do mean idiot as in I’m surprised she can keep herself clean, clothed, and fed without assistance.
