re: #283 NO SMOCKING GUN!

The GOP are the real cranks, peddling the same pseudoeconomics for decades, while AOC’s 70% tax bracket proposal is well supported by economists, and its popular. But she’s treated as the radical while the Republicans are treated like serious policy wonks. Its the GOP’s position that taxes on the rich should be deeply cut that is the radical idea. Even Trump know that; that’s why he lied about wanting to increase taxes on the rich.

Exactly. Trickle Down economics is the real elitism. AOC believes as I do in the fundamental principle of this, that the society that invests in its citizenry is a prosperous society and that’s certainly shown to be true overtime whether it’s the GI Bill among other things. AOC simply believes that if we can spend the way we do on the military, we should be able to spend that way for our citizenry and on that principle, I’m 100% with her.
