New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is urging Empire State lawmakers to raise taxes, despite opposition from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Ocasio-Cortez called on Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to increase rates as the state battles a massive coronavirus-induced multi-billion-dollar budget hole.

“I’m calling on Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo to raise revenue to fund universal child-care programs, significantly increase staffing at schools and fund the infrastructure improvements, including ventilation, that our school buildings need to be safe,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement obtained by The New York Post on Wednesday.

Next they’ll put armed guards at the state line...

Don’t think that they aren’t planning for that.

Exactly, give her and her ilk everything she wants and more. Let them show the world what happens when you go down that path. The sooner the reality is exposed, the better off everyone will be.

We all know AOC and DeBlasio are bat shit crazy...but i actually hope they succeed and elect a socialist city government in NYC...

If you’ve ever read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, we need to have the major cities fail and fail completely and be reduced to total ashes and then maybe they can be rebuilt....

We need a John Galt in the major urban areas of this country we can’t save them we have to let them fail..

Before their BLM and Antifa thugs took over Seattle and Portland, a lot of former NYCers were buying property/homes in the west coast.

Now, they are buying homes in California and getting into bidding wars with the former Hong Kong people.

We already spend enough (too much) on K-12.

AOC is such a rookie. You are never supposed to say that the freebies you offer will be paid for by higher taxes. You are supposed to pretend that a wizard will do it.

Very few of her constituents pay taxes so why shouldn't she want them raised.

Pennsylvania...their next parasitic host.

Yeah, they'll turn your state solid blue too. A lot of them ended up in California over the years and did the same thing.

I was shocked last time I was in the Poconos - about two years ago. Demographics had changed so much...
