Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she may oppose the next federal coronavirus aid bill for being too small and is urging Republicans concerned about the national debt to help her raise taxes to finance items such as recurring $2,000 direct payments.
The New York Democrat, a self-declared socialist who represents one of the areas hardest-hit by the virus, said Monday, “We cannot bow to the logic that a dime and a crumb is better than nothing. We need to be able to play hardball.”
“If you’re worried about the deficit and if you’re worried about our national debt, let’s raise some taxes,” AOC said in a digital press conference with fellow left-wing members of Congress.

Idiot.
Who?
I’m betting she’s loving the oil crash. Fits her Green New Deal. Nothing like a 1973-style oil crisis to push the Revolution.
Who would say something like this unless they are an imbecile?
She is one dangerous wackadoodle.
Dangerous Idiot
I think her idea for a tax hike should be given headline coverage
Brilliant
>> help her raise taxes to finance items such as recurring $2,000 direct payments.
Those payments are tax cuts.
When the payments exceed the taxes you’ve paid, they are Marxist redistribution.
Biden and the other Democrat contenders all pledged to raise taxes and eliminate Trump’s tax cuts.
People should try to work out their 2019 taxes using the old tax tables and see how much they have to send in.
F’n stupid, just like every Democrat and all of their supporters. Their leader - Joe Biden - dumber than dirt. AOC, her head is filled with more air than brains.
what did America do so wrong to deserve this insane AOC idiot?
lol
Sometimes just one word speaks volumes :)
Sure. Let’s raise taxes on Members of Congress and congressional staff. We can start at 150 percent of income and move up from there.
Complete moron—— back to bartending and stealing your fellow workers tips.... instead of soaking much smarter US citizens for your crapola.
Ah, she’s one house rep from a hardcore dem area and she has an unfavorable rating across the country.
It should just be fun to laugh at her.
She does not carry nearly as much weight as she thinks she does.
I do...literally lol
But....this is the Opposite of what she would want.
Abundantly cheap KILLS her cause.
Have Trump counter-propose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports.
If I could talk to her, I would tell her, I actually am concerned about issues such as the national debt and deficits.
But would also tell her that, as we are edging closer and closer to the edge of the economic cliff, that raising taxes as we enter a recession or depression, is not a good policy.
I don’t know about you, but my taxes have skyrocketed not to mention the state, county, local taxes and for what??????!!!!!
