It was only as matter of time till A. Occasional Cortex decided to make a buck or two like any other person. No one including me can blame her for wanting to make some money as making money through free trade is a good and virtuous thing. However as any reasonably intelligent person knows a socialist fool is a hypocrite and elitist liar when they become the very thing they rail against. https://nypost.com/2020/12/03/aoc-selling-60-tax-the-rich-sweatshirt-pricey-merch-on-site/ Yes it is her merchandise for sale as she attempts to become an entrepreneur, it is not just some one else cashing in on her soundbytes. Like any other socialist she is a two faced, elitist hypocrite who wants campassion points for hating on the wealthy and weeping crocodile tears for the poor while trying to crank out a profit of her own. This little side business discredits her and everything she says.
And Trump gets a pass because.....? He fails to deliver on the promises he sales? I guess you forgot what country she resides in. Everything revolves around capitalism here.
You missed the point completely! And this topic is not about Trump so you're also off topic and derailing
Who said I gave him a pass. Does not matter where she resides/. If she wishes to impose a failed system on others than she needs to proctice what she preaches. She has no greater compassion for the poor than Trump, and I am pretty sure he has NONE. She is the same sort of creature as Trump just not as much money YET, and a hell of a lot more hypocrisy.
Capitalism is on topic. Nice try. What you did right there is focused the topic on Trump, so YOU are derailing. Failing to address anything the OP talked about.
AOC is so incredibly hot, she became a serious threat for the polar ice just as for tax payer's money when she wants to push through her expensive and inefficient Green New Deal.
I do. I am a Trump-supporter and dont give a **** if his tax declaration is correct or not. Yes, he lies, so what? If you wanna clean out the establishment and the whole political caste, this is no job for a tender-hearted intellectual, you need a butcher to do so. There may be times when an asthete will be the right choice as a president. For now its time for Trump.
Then you have nothing to complain about really. I dont care for her much either but if you wanna survive this is what you gotta do. Merchandise. Or would you prefer only tax dollars support her agenda? Nothing really hypocritical about eating. Cause Im sure like everyone else shes gotta do that.
Wrong. She has a great salary as a congressman, which proves she is not doing this out of necessity. This is not about survival it is about greed. She is a hypocrite to rail about the very thing she uses to enrich her life. In this great capitalist society you can survive just fine without any job or effort. Free trade works. Her ideas do not and her actions are proof of that. Free trade is on the brink of providing vaccines which will probably defeat the kungflu. While collectivist schemes such as kockdowns have failed. She gets no pass for squeezing out a little extra profit which she does not need while railing against others.
Very great. Much more than most americans. I do not know bvut in all likely hood she is doing what everyone with money does and hiring accountants/lawyers to use every tax shelter and any trick in the book to protect her profits from the IRS. Yet more evidence of disgusting hypocrisy from her. It is indeed a valid complaint when a congressman practices what she claims to be evil.
Lemme know when she starts firing her employees despite multi billion dollars in profits per year, then you may have a leg to stand on. Till then, its survival.
Already proven it is not survival. You lost that one and lost big It is capitalist profits for nothing more than personal enrichment which is not necessity.
Proven how? Iv not seen any proof. Speculation yes, but no proof. Maybe, just maybe she doesent want to rely on tax dollars for everything?
Absolute proof. She does not need it with her large salary. That is fact not speculation, learn the difference, start with a dictionary.
Maybe just maybe she doesent want to rely on tax dollars for everything? 100k isnt that large. Especially in DC. Thats over 10 years just to break a million..which most houses sell for well over. Especially if she doesent plan on being in congress due to upcoming term limits you guys want in place.
Yes it is The city is filled with people making a tenth of that and surviving. It also ignores the many and varied allownaces all congreemen make whcih effectively more than doubles their income. Such as office allowances. They do not pay their secretaries and assistants out of pocket or even buy office supplies out of pocket. Not relying on tax dollars is not the same as necessity or survival so once again you have been proven wrong.
No you stated opinions, not facts. Its your opinion that 100k per year with benefits should be enough. Obviously hers is she needs more. And I agree. Shes gonna need alot more to get anything done.
I stated fact not opinion. You are lacking in comprehension The FACT that most people living in DC survivie on a lot less proves it.
What are you arguing about? Some people will see it as dishonesty when you rail against free entrepeneurship but simultanously get a good cut for your own. I do, Suopnazi does, you do not, obviously.
