Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) responded Tuesday to criticism from Ivanka Trump by suggesting Trump's daughter learned about working "for tips & hourly wages ... 2nd-hand."
"As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, with a link to reports of Ivanka Trump slamming Ocasio-Cortez earlier in the day.
"A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create," she continued.

Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) introduced the "Green New Deal" earlier this month. The climate change resolution seeks to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions while also creating millions of jobs. The resolution includes a universal jobs guarantee.

All any reporter has to do is ask "AOC" how much she made per year in tips as a bartender. If she says she doesn't know, then ask her how she knew how much to report to the IRS when filing her taxes. She was required to keep a record and report her tips.
If she dodges the question, ask her again, and again, and again.
I cannot believe she was stupid enough to start bragging about her tips in this petty squabble with Ivanka Trump.
Which was more instructive for your world view AOC, your minimum wage job or your degree in socialist economics?
Classy joint.
Her PAC made illegal payments to her boyfriend. She’s corrupt indict and impeach her and move on.
You STOLE tips...
“Workers are often paid far less than the value they create,”
True, and by the same token, worthless slugs are paid more than they’re worth via the government-mandated minimum wage and employment in government.
She was a pole dancer...
Correction:
She worked at stealing tips from co-workers.
Of course, she considered that “redistribution of wealth”.
Whose bare ass is that in the upper left-hand corner of the screen?
She’s a loudmouth kid, it will eventually hurt the dems.
AOC stole other staffès tips, Ivanka is far more honest.

According to a food-server who worked with the former bartender at an East 16th Street taco and tequila bar, Flats Fix, on Cinco de Mayo 2017, the newly minted politician proved that when it came to divvying up the tips, collective ownership lost its appeal.
On the Democratic Socialist website, it says that “Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically – to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few.”
If “profits for a few” is what Ocasio-Cortez condemned when running against Joe Crowley, why would she begrudgingly throw $50 at a waitress and pocket $510 for herself? If the soon-to-be congressional contender was really against pay inequity, shouldn’t the server she worked alongside have been given half of Alexandria’s take?
The only explanation for pocketing 90% of the contents of the tip cup and doling out a pittance to a co-worker is that, deep down inside, “people vs. money” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez considered herself the top 1% of Flats Fix and secretly believed that mixing Mayan Mules has more worth than schlepping fish tacos.
Wasn’t it Ocasio-Cortez who said, “The definition of Democratic Socialism to me, again, is the fact that in a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no American should be too poor to live”? Is this the same woman who allegedly gave a waitress $50 for a night’s work and kept $510 for herself?
The server was so shocked by the small amount of money she received that a complaint was registered with the management, who wrested another 50 bucks from Alexandria’s tightfisted Democrat-Socialist hands.

Ivanka Trump created a clothing and clothing accessories company worth $300 million.
AOC is comparing THAT to being a bartender in a sleazy dump?
Pl-—eas—ee!
Maybe we should do that for Adam Schitt too.
Sounds like a case of “..from each according to his gifts..”
Everyone should do a little time in a service industry if for no other reason than to find out if it is where one is happy. For most folks it is a stepping stone to other fulfilling work.
If the occasional cortex thinks she’s better because she schlepped drinks...not everyone HAS to. Do they?
KYPD
AOC = GND(Gross National Dumbass)
And ‘sandy 0’ speaks how many laguages? And created her own what? And lived under commie rule how long? Why did she prefer ‘sandy’ in high school? ‘Jerry Rivers” syndrome?
Simply put, she stole from the tip jar.
