Fifth Column
AOC the actress!
Half hour video: The Justice Democrats sifted through 10,000 nominations to cast Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the part of congresswoman using their script, after her brother sent in her name for the casting call.

#1  She wants to force farmers to stop using mechanized equipment. Just the draft horses needed to operate the farms would take about 40 to 50 years to breed from the few remaining stocks left in the US. By the way draft horses fart big time.

#2  We give this crackpot way too much attention. But, I might think of her on my next flight to Europe.

Ocasio-Cortez: State Of America Is 'Garbage,' Reagan Pitted Whites Against Minorities
[Daily Wire] Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested during a talk on Saturday that America is "garbage" and that former President Ronald Reagan presented a "racist" vision of the country that "pitted" white working class people against minorities in order "to screw over all working-class Americans."

#1  Garbage Cortez is such a dead end. I learned something today. If you are an immigrant living in this country and start a business no taxes for ten years. Then in ten years transfer ownership to a family member and get another ten years with no taxes. I don't know if this is true but it appears to be what is being done here.

Say what?

#3  Did Trump fund AOC?

She's already killed 100s of thousands of NYC jobs and tens of billions in wealth creation!

She can't think before she speaks and she hates Americans.

AOC/Trump 2020

#4  So much garbage that over 20 million illegals come here.

At least my ancestors, who thought where they were was garbage, decided to leave.

"to screw over all working-class Americans" seems to be a platform of her party.

#5  Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested during a talk on Saturday that America is "garbage"

And all the Faceborg Moms purse their lips and nod.

At least AOC doesn't use curse words when running down the country. That's what's important.

#6  on another blog itis reprted aoc owes the state of new york about$1800 in back taxes for a now closed publishing venture. an interview with her at the time opening had her auoted as saying this would be a good return on investment.
isnt that like, capitalistic, or something????

#7  isn't that like, capitalistic, or something????

Most likely not. Was it "her money?" Marxists don't believe in that. Did the application of funds produce a "profit?" The existence of a tax bill would suggest so, but in Marxist New York that's far from a given.

#8  NY Post: Company founded by Ocasio-Cortez in 2012 still owes $1,870 in taxes
Posted by: Frank G || 03/10/2019 14:01 Comments || Top||

#9  Although the article is short on specifics, I'll surmise that the state tax bill is from the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. Here's how they calculate corporate income taxes in NY state, so I'll go with the '250K to 500K' fixed income minimum tax of $500 per year for those three years, with interest and penalties thrown in.

Also - part of that article reads like she owed the NY Secretary of State's office some dough (for not filing the required annual reports) to boot, because they 'dissolved' the company in 2016. Generally speaking an administrative dissolution happens after 2 or 3 years of nonfiling.

#10  seems too me the only ones playing the race baiting card is the people lije her

#11  Back in the 60's, when MLK was giving his "I have a dream" speech, if you told me that half a century later we would be even more obsessed with skin color, I wouldn't have believed it.

#14  Many have cut this young woman a lot of slack. At some point the honeymoon will be over. If she doesn't smarten up soon, she will be dumped and tagged as the idiot she sounds like now.
