Danny Elfman wrote this song just for her:

Capitalism

You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And now you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses, whoever they are
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain you dumb f___?

Says AOC at the same time she is a member of Americas facist party. Maybe she doesn’t know that’s what big business plus big government is. I thought anyone with a brain knew that but in her case....

Capitalism is the Marxist word.

The real term is “free market economy” as opposed to the “command economy” of the communists.

‘’Kopf’’? Don’t you mean ‘’mund’’, German for ‘’mouth’’?.

I guess both work for making your point. In any event I agree totally.

This kid is dead from the neck up.

Capitalism doesn’t work?

It sure seems to be working for her.

What the economic system of the US has been since the creation of the Federal Reserve system, is crony capitalism. Free markets and true capitalism was buried when Fascism(government in bed with corporations) was instituted. Instead of freedom, what we have is the govt making rules to hobble the little guy, at the beck and call of big companies who already had “a going thing” rocking and rolling. Big companies and corporation get to borrow money at NEAR ZERO percent from the national bank, while small guys and citizens borrow at 12% plus or minus 6 points, if they can get credit. Big guys borrow money at near 0% and purchase stocks, bonds, land and houses with the money. We the po’ folk, struggle along from year to year as commodities and housing skyrockets, because the connected purchase at NO COST. That is crony capitalism. THAT is the system YOU, Sandy Cortez are a part of.

I know your view is the majority among Republicans, BUT.

The reason everyone wants to come to this country is because we give them benefits beyond belief. Free housing, free income, free education, free food, minimal laws and a neverending stream of the above mentioned items.

If they had to EARN it, fewer would come, and they would be different people.

I fear all of that is academic. This Nation will be a communist dictatorship very soon. Since conservatives do no more than blog, this is a done deal.

Marx and Lenin are not the answer but our bought and paid for politicians with D’s and R’s next to their names, the so-called “Moderates” in both parties are not the answer either.

The two-part solution is TERM LIMITS and ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS TO BE ANONYMOUS. You cannot sell influence if you don't know who is buying, and the knowledge that it is no longer a lifetime career will limit the number of self-serving candidates. Those who truly want to SERVE will be the ones left after the shakeout.

Anonymous donations mean we don’t know how the rich and powerful are buying the politicians.

They the elected officials will know who’s greasing their skids in an “anonymous’ system through the back door.

That was my first thought - didn’t Zimbabwe get rid of all their rich “robber barons”? How did that turn out?
