New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is urging Empire State lawmakers to raise taxes, despite opposition from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Ocasio-Cortez called on Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to increase rates as the state battles a massive coronavirus-induced multi-billion-dollar budget hole.
“I’m calling on Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo to raise revenue to fund universal child-care programs, significantly increase staffing at schools and fund the infrastructure improvements, including ventilation, that our school buildings need to be safe,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement obtained by The New York Post on Wednesday.

She supposedly has a degree in economics, but evidently they were too busy teaching Marxist Critical Theory to actually get into how taxes affect businesses and consumers. I would be embarrassed to be caught talking to her as a bartender for more than two minutes hearing the crap she spews, and now she is a US Representative in the House. What is wrong with you voters in NY District 14?

Since the rich will just move I suggest a 50% sales tax, that might cover it.

Wasn't her college degree in economics? Must not only be stupid but unteachable as well.

A couple of years ago this young woman was tending bar and now she dictates to the Mayor of New New and the Governor of the state. Senator Schumer nods in agreement as she spells out the Democrat response and threatened retaliation if the President of the United States dares to execute his Constitutional duty and nominate a successor to RBG. What gives? AOC is calling the shots.

Higher taxes = more gibs; full-throated support from her constituency, the vast bulk of which most likely pays no taxes.

The developmentally arrested Bronx birdbrainEd fraud is a tool of a radical leftist called Saikat Chakravarti. Chakravarti is a Harvard graduate, political activist, software engineer and chum of another first-generation American and Ivy League educated Marxist, Cenk Uygur. Chakravarti and Zack Exley, a partially Chinese-educated American (Shangxi Normal University preparing for a B.A. at UMass-Amherst in Social Thought and Political Economy and The Kennedy School at Harvard), helped select Ocasio-Cortez as a candidate for her House seat and Chakravarti briefly served as her chief-of-staff. The ignorant and unwise Latino twit appears now to actually believe she is in a position to start ordering everyone around and is too stupid to realize that her grand plans can’t work. DeBlasio and Cuomo are dumb enough to follow her idiotic directions but I’m guessing that, drunk with power, adulation and fame, she’s becoming harder and harder for her puppet masters to control. Unfortunately, her voters are even dumber than she is so her re-election is probably assured until she finally implodes. The people mentioned above are all products of the educational system she insists that we all pour more money into.

All the media attention she's received has gone to her head. She thinks whatever she says is policy and gold. Instead, she's pretty much proved stupid people who can't get a real job, run for a political position.

I expect Cuomo and DiBlasio to comply, of course.

As an x-NYer I think she has a great idea.
Depopulating NY & reducing its EC votes will be beneficial for US.

No worries! They will just tax the top 1%. That used to be just millionaires, but since most of them have moved away, the top 1% has dropped down to $200,000.
AOC has the mentality of a thief.

The Economics major again shows her ignorance. If NY wants to stop the bleeding, they need to rigorously enforce the laws and LOWER taxes as an enticement and END THE COMMIE LOCKDOWN!

A vote for the pervert Joey is a vote for AOC and Russia loving Bernie to rule him. What sane person would want that? Oh, I know the answer - all the grifters wanting more freebees because they're too lazy to work.

She must have a great PR person. It's like she has already replaced Nancy.
Edith Ann sounds like she is 8 years old. Why doesn't this generation speak like adults ?

I am extremely curious to see if Taco Barbie wins her re-election in the NY 14th Congressional District. She chased away 25,000 jobs, and the businesses that would have emerged to service those workers, and now she is practically demanding that taxes are RAISED right before her re-election. Personally, I think that AOC will be responsible for many people leaving NY and not returning, as well as many voting for Trump who wouldn't dare admit it out loud. Good for us, but BAD for NYC.
