Working class residents are fleeing New York City because it’s too expensive, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday.

The congresswoman made the claim during a discussion of the migrant crisis and Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial across-the-board proposed budget cuts that would shrink the police force and trim spending on schools, libraries and cultural arts programs.

During her tele-town hall meeting, she wondered why the mayor and council weren’t looking to boost taxes on the wealthy — such as pricey pied-à-terre or luxury crash pads for the jet-setting ultra rich.

I wonder why that is you dumb broad?

AOC is truly a nitwit.

AOC aka Absolutely Obnoxious Chiild

I never take advice or explanations of anything from bartenders/strippers.

[amnestynone]

Since the majority of the wealthy in New York City vote Democrat then as far as I am concerned they can just raise their taxes and raise them a lot.

Why bless her little heart and that little brain of her's.

She figured that out all by her little self!

NOT EVERYONE CAN STEAL ALL THE TIPS IN THE TIP JAR, YOU MORON.

She's right.

The wealthy are stuck with living in NYC and have nowhere else to go.

How dumb can anyone get??Z Nobody can be dumber than AOC.

[ealgeone]

Too expensive. Too dangerous. Too demoncrat.

Great idea. First drive out the middle class by making it too expensive to live in NYC and then drive out the rich by making it too expensive to live in NYC

After you drive out all of the people who pay taxes what will the government do for money?

Why is it that these communist think that the rich will just sit there at let the politicians rob them. Eventually the rich figure out that these cities aren’t worth the taxes they pay them.

A keen grasp of the obvious.

She was one of the main reason why Amazon did not build a distribution facility in her district.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

AOC, while ignoring the billionaires, stock markets, tycoons who have already left for Southern States,
so many people have left NYC, that the city, itself, is on a downward revenue slide and unable to meet the financial expenses of the migrant crisis
You have State income taxes, county property taxes, city taxes, and now New York city wants to impose a "commuter tax" for those entering the NYC proper.
The State mono-party (Dem's) just keeps spending, and spending, and spending itself into deeper and deeper debt.
At some point, you will inevitably run out of "other peoples money", and become a 'has been state'.

AOC really gives stupid c*nts a bad name.

They ended up building it, or one like it outside Troy, in Schodack, just off 90. https://www.bizjournals.com/albany/news/2023/01/12/schodack-amazon-development-real-estate.html

That's pretty much how I see it. Anyone who lives in NYC and votes for Democrats deserve all the taxes, illegal immigrants, and inflation that comes their way. Just keep it away from the rest of America.

Amazon was never planning to build a distribution center in her district. The massive project in question was a corporate headquarters, and one of the potential sites was in the district next to hers (then represented by Carolyn Maloney).

And AOC had nothing to do with the project’s demise. Amazon decided to build the HQ complex in Virginia after several key New York State legislators withdrew their support for the project in NYC.

I wonder if she lives in the REAL WORLD, or some make believe fantasy laa...laa. land.

It’s definitely fantasy land.
