Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Gov. Cuomo to get in touch with his inner Robin Hood. The progressive congresswoman called on Cuomo Thursday to get onboard with a soak-the-rich tax plan that would siphon wealth from the state’s billionaires and redistribute it to working-class New Yorkers suffering from coronavirus-related economic hardships. “We need to ask Gov. Cuomo to tax the people who are benefiting from this pandemic in order to support the working families who are facing housing insecurity, food insecurity and more,” Ocasio-Cortez, who represents predominantly low-income swaths of Queens and the Bronx, said in a campaign-like video released by

Maybe, just maybe, there would not be economic insecurity if people were working for Amazon in your community.

I think it's a great idea.
If New York's rich haven't left there yet, tax them till they leave.

Let me guess. The billionaire they are mostly 'concerned' about is Donald Trump.
People like this are anti-business, anti-job, anti-work, and anti-wealth. Will the government make up for this by taking care of everyone? Nope. No way. These people don't share. They are doing this so there will be more wealth for themselves. Thieves work the same way.

Highlights yet again that the 16th amendment was a carefully planned action by the commies.
They think many decades ahead and never give up.

It’s an excellent idea. Florida could use a few more billionaires.

#s 4 & 11 - the wealthy of NY are the ones who enable these Leninists - they need to stay there and get educated. I don't want them leaving to vote accordingly in Florida, or (forbid it Lord) Missouri.

Good move. Kill the small tax paying businesses with the lockdown then run the wealthy out of the city with punitive taxation. No more revenue so they will ask the rest of the country for a massive bailout.

We already tax the rich - at least in terms of property taxes. But it is not currently legal to tax 'wealth' per se otherwise. And I don't expect that will ever be legal.

#15, maybe not in NY, but some states DO tax assets. Gee, why not drive everything productive out of the state? You can stay left in a completely bankrupt state with all the poor you have left stranded there and you can all starve together.

For more and more people in democrat-run cities and states, their only job is to vote democrat on election day. Of course, these people produce nothing, and as such, pay no taxes. So, the producers are the only source of tax dollars so the democrat elites can live well, and the democrat-supporting lower class can be provided with the freebies. Vote democrat--its easier than getting a job.

They should start with her. Let her throw some of her money in the kitty first. She should lead by example.

Careful what you wish for Edith Ann as you line your own pockets for being a shill. Who, pray tell, pays for her publicity? All those people in the House and she gets the most media coverage.

Funny..."Tax The Rich" always ends up with my wife and I getting a higher tax bill. We are not Rich in the comparative sense of those who live within 5 miles of us. We live in a modest house on Social Security. We are, however rich in the sense that we live in a Free America and are blessed because of it! We are the true targets of liberals. Oh...and we are Christian and White so we are really bad people according to the SWAMP!

Don't put it past Ms. Gestapo and Il Duce to institute an "exit tax" on the wealthy who might choose to flee NY State ... say 20% of their assets if they choose to leave the Empire State. Not fair? Since when are socialists FAIR? Having has some experience with NY State taxation once I left there, be advised that German Shepherds could learn a thing about putting the bite on you from NY State..

Tax the rich, feed the poor
Until there are no rich no more
Ms. Occasional Cortex must not have heard that song, done in 1971. A little before her time.

The bolshevik vision isn't just to tax the rich, but to eat the rich. AOC's progressive pretenses become downright tedious when the direction they are heading becomes apparent.

Dems drive businesses out of town or prevent them from even opening for business. Who votes for these people? Maybe those who do not want to work.
