AOC’s Green New Deal is even better than we thought.

And by better, I mean LAUGHABLY TERRIBLE.

For one, it’s ACTUALLY funny. I mean like LOL-at-you-not-with-you funny.

    Sounds like it should pass any day now.

    [ The Green New Deal has momentum.
    o 92 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans support the
    Green New Deal
    o Nearly every major Democratic Presidential contender say they back
    the Green New deal including: Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala
    Harris, Jeff Merkeley, Julian Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Bernie Sanders,
    Tulsi Gabbard, and Jay Inslee.
    o 45 House Reps and 330+ groups backed the original resolution for a
    select committee
    o Over 300 local and state politicians have called for a federal Green
    New Deal
    o New Resolution has 20 co-sponsors, about 30 groups (numbers will
    change by Thursday).]

    Cortez actually said a tax cut is a government expenditure

    Heard with my own ears

    But she's an economist

    If she's the first economist you ever heard say that, you need to get out more.

    So a lot of economists are idiots?

    Not surprising

    Race also thinks tax cuts increase revenue. So there's that.

    Oh and Cortez thinks raising taxes will increase revenues despite all evidence to the contrary.

    But she sure has hondo fooled

    Facts show that but why would you care about facts?

    How is the government getting less of my money an expenditure?

    Don't hurt yourself
    It isn't an expenditure, but it increases the deficit and eventually will be an expenditure when we have to pay for it.

    Wait. So when Clinton raised taxes in the 90s and Obama raised taxes in the 10s, revenues didn't go up? I'd like to see the support on that.

    It only increases the deficit if spending outpaces revenue that rises with tax cuts.

    So you agree it's stupid to call a tax cut an expenditure. We're getting somewhere

    No. It increases the deficit because revenues as a percent of GDP go down. Meaning they are not growing with the growth in the economy. After all this discussion, is that concept lost on you?

    Tax cuts grow the economy and that's bad?

    Spending grows the deficit not the GDP

    Illiterates. No wonder Cortez is killing it

    Is this a woosh or you take believe this?

    I though the Green New Deal was going to come out and win the Trump boys over. This is a shocking turn of events. You’re...critical of it? Wut.

    Keep trotting out the same tired arguments that are the reason she’s popular in the first place.

    I sincerely want the 2020 election run on her platform. I wish she could run

    Maybe I'm wrong and she wins rather easily. Maybe I'm right and we put it to rest

    I liked it when she said that giving people government backed jobs will increase tax revenue.

    I’m in basically the same place. Maybe I’m wrong and she loses rather easily. Maybe I’m right and we start making real changes.

    One possible take.

    There's another, better one though.

    This. The only people who think the coercive power of government should be used to rob people of over half of what they have made through their own sacrifice and effort is the less than 10% lunatic fringe on the left. The ANTIFA bombthrower types. Oh, and AOC. I still love her tits.

    edit: I realize AOC said tippy top for the 70% rate but I assume she is onboard with 50+ if you make 500K because you must be rich at that level. Unrelated, but I really wish I made 500K a year. FML

    No one is going to pay half of the first $500,000 they make. Period. The question is misleading, no surprise it comes from Rasmussen, that’s just not how it works.

    I've said it before. The Clinton's defined "rich" as 65,000.00 back in their day. I don't think inflation or commie thought has changed that amount by much. To do all this stupid shit they'd have to take 100% and seize every company and business.

    Then there's the machine guns. But Hondo and his comrades think they'll be on the trigger.
