Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says the guarantee to a home takes precedence over another individual’s ability to earn a profit. The New York lawmaker made the controversial remarks during a town hall event in the Bronx. She minimized the significance of her “luxury” living arrangements during the event, comparing it to a public housing unit she recently visited in Queens.
“I move into this building, and it’s marketed as a ‘luxury’ building in D.C.,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It’s an efficient building, it’s clean, it has public space, it has a rooftop garden—y’all watching my Instagram—it has clean air, it has clean water. And I think about this and I’m like, ‘Hm, this is what a luxury building is like.’”
She spoke ill of tenant-owned, for-profit buildings during the speech, stumping for the universal “right to a dignified home.”
“Another world is possible,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We can live in buildings that are not-for-profit, or tenant-owned, there are so many ways we can slice this and we can structure it in a way where all people have the right to a dignified home.”
She also proclaimed that an individual’s “privilege to earn a profit” should not come before another’s “guarantee” of a home.

Scratch a Lefty, find a fascist.
Here’s a clue...if the builders ain’t making a profit...you Home is not being built.
No you stupid donkey - the right to trade and profit is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence as part of the right to life and the pursuit of happiness.
And I WILL fight for those rights and those whom threaten me and mine.
Mz Cow Fartz is way too stupid to understand that concept.
From now on— every possible time someone has the chance, and this commie/moronic bartender spouts some more dictated sentences sent to her through an earpiece (because she certainly has zero personal knowledge to compose such tripe)— ASK this “transparent” socialist for HER tax returns from the all the years she was a BARTENDER and got paid in TIPS.
That is- in this case— “DID YOU REPORT ALL THE TIPS YOU MADE, YOU KNOW- as a “privilege to earn a profit” so the govt. could
“TAX your profits... the unreported ones”? HMMMM? How about it occasional cortex.
This fraud is getting tiresome to the point of tedium. And is a stupid fool and... a tool at the same time.
Che’quita.... that’s her name. Carmen Miranda was a whole lot brighter- even with all the fruit piled on her head.
Aaggghhh. ..the stupidity of this idiot.
She’s a commie, Jim
She's looking for a bumper sticker phrase to rationalize gov't theft.
Vote buying at its worst.
Stupid ignorant witch is being a stupid ignorant witch.... and she has a degree in economics?
Are they sure it was Boston College, and not the Marx-Engle School of Business and Economics?
This was actually a part of the Soviet Constitution.
“Everything should be free, everybody should work for free...now, where’s my $3,000.00 outfit?”

She’s become rather boring.
In her world, the builder WOULD build it
And he’ll get the same monthly stipend from the government as a doctor...
who gets the same as the guy who cleans up sidewalk sh!t
Well, the Boss has spoken, now all the candidates need to chime in with agreement on this.
She is appropriating southern culture.
I thought the bug-eyed witch went to Boston University (BU).
