Ocasio-Cortez: State Of America Is 'Garbage,' Reagan Pitted Whites Against Minorities
2019-03-10
[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."

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

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.

#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.

#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.

#2  I don't know if this is true but it appears to be what is being done here.

Say what?

#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.
