Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is destroying opportunity for fellow Democrats
NY Post ^ | 2/16/19 | Kyle Smith

Congratulations, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! You just killed 25,000 jobs for urban Democrats in one of the most racially and ethnically diverse areas in the entire world!

Congresswoman AOC, the thought leader of the Democratic party, was the loudest and feistiest political opponent when Amazon announced it would build (half of) its second headquarters in Long Island City, Queens, promising to create 25,000 jobs and generate some $27.5 billion in tax revenue over the next 25 years. Amazon employs a range of people from unskilled workers to tech geniuses and would have pumped large amounts of money into the city economy. It estimated the average salary of its New York City workforce would have been $150,000. Real-estate prices in Long Island City jumped 15 percent since Amazon’s announcement last November.

But after Amazon walked away in an anti-Valentine to the city on Feb. 14, AOC bragged on Twitter that “everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world.”

Huh? A Siena poll this week showed that New York City residents approved of the deal by 56 to 33 percent. Fellow Democrats Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio were pushing hard for the deal.

In honor of AOC, Neil Young has written a song about her, called “Cortez The Job Killer”

Ocasio-Cortez returns to her Bronx neighborhood for her inaugural address

“The Green New Deal doesn’t belong to me. The Green New Deal belongs to indigenous communities, it belongs to the residents of Flint it belongs to Puerto Rico, it belongs to the victims of wildfires.”

Conservatives realize that in capitalism there will be rich people, middle class people and poor people. To socialists that is unacceptable and that everyone must be equal and they are all happy if everyone is equally poor...except for the ruling class, of course.

Customer: "I'd like to order 500 pizzas. I have a $50 off coupon from the city for buying within the city."

AOC: "We can't honor your coupon. You have to pay full menu price."

Customer: "Fine, I'll take my business elsewhere - outside of the city."

AOC: "Whoo-hoo! We just saved $50 which can go to help those who cannot buy our pizzas!"

Once Stalin murdered the Kulaks, he set out to destroy the “middle peasants.” AOC and her accomplices are doing their best to destroy the middle and upper middle classes. This is only their start on destroying the economy, even if their first twenty five thousand victims are their fellow Democrats.

Read the fake news “media’s” proclamation yesterday the Princess AOC’s “endorsement” is going to be worth millions to each Socialist “democrat” politician.

She is a narcissist, who believes her own press clippings from the Deep State media.

As time goes on, her megalomania has only increased.

Rep Nina Lowrey (D-NY), whose district would have hosted the new Amazon HQ, is livid at Occasional Cortex.

I think it is only a matter of time before "AOC" is set up for a huge fail - and by her own Democrats. They know she has to be taken down several pegs. They won't move against her until they have to, but they are nearly at the breaking point. "AOC" is ruining their chances for 2020, and is severely undercutting any legislative gains the Democrats had hoped to achieve.

I can see her being the VP nominee one day because they will need someone to turn out the youth vote.

Tocqueville said it quite well...

“There is a passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.”
