Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is telling us what the new unhinged Statist wing of the Democrats want to do (via Twitchy)
A few social media ideas for public servants looking to build an audience:
– Endorse Single-Payer Medicare for All
– Hold Wall Street Accountable
– Make Min Wage = Living Wage
– Cancel Puerto Rican Debt
– End For-Profit Prisons & ICE Detention
– Fight for a #GreenNewDeal— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 2, 2019
And that Green Deal?
What the deal "entails”:
— "Gender-based justice”
— Racial reparations
— Universal income
— Medicare for All …https://t.co/73xfyuUiNo https://t.co/6clqoO9QCC— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) January 3, 2019
He’s not kidding. Let’s check Section 6 (B) in that file
(i) provide all members of our society, across all regions and all communities, the opportunity, training and education to be a full and equal participant in the transition, including through a job guarantee program to assure a living wage job to every person who wants one- (iv) ensure a ‘just transition’ for all workers, low-income communities, communities of color, indigenous communities, rural and urban communities and the front-line communities most affected by climate change, pollution and other environmental harm including by ensuring that local implementation of the transition is led from the community level and by prioritizing solutions that end the harms faced by front-line communities from climate change and environmental pollution;
- (v) protect and enforce sovereign rights and land rights of tribal nations;
- (vi) mitigate deeply entrenched racial, regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth (including, without limitation, ensuring that federal and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low income, deindustrialized or other marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership at the community level);
- (vii) include additional measures such as basic income programs, universal health care programs and any others as the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism; and
- (viii) deeply involve national and local labor unions to take a leadership role in the process of job training and worker deployment.
Once again, it looks like the “greens” are really about red: call it socialism, communism, Marxism, Progressivism, whatever, it’s all the same thing, using ‘climate change’ and a bit of environmentalism to push hardcore leftist beliefs.
Number 5 is a howler: the same people who want to protect sovereign rights and land rights of Indians want the complete opposite for our borders and protection for illegal aliens, as well as telling everyone how they handle their own property. Remember the Waters of The U.S. rule?
Occasional Cortex and her Contract On America.
Hold Wall Street Accountable
That would be cool, seeing as how Wall Street has been backing the Demos for 25 years.
Make Min Wage = Living Wage
$15/hr isn’t a living wage, but wait and see how fast businesses automate.
Teach, do you even know what socialism and communism are? Calling new Republicans Nazis, fascists or right-wing authoritarians is just as apt.
Have the Dems proposed that the state take over the means of production (e.g., companies and corporations)? The feds don’t even own defense contractors.
Have they proposed to eliminate private property?
Why not make an argument rather than just demonize those that disagree with you?
Do you have specific objections to the actual proposals? If so, why?
Clearly, Jeffery wouldn’t know a socialist or Nazi if they told him, “Heil Barack”.
Zippy’s takeover of GM was pure National Socialism.
Definition of communism
: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
Where, O where, did we get that one?
Take a visit to Russia, Red China, or Cuba, and see who gets what.

GM ring a bell? IdiotCare? Single payer?
Have they proposed to eliminate private property</i.
Firearms?
Jeff,
The Dems have been taking our freedom for years. No, we do not have private property, that is because we have tax on our homes and other possessions. Don’t pay the tax, they take your property back. Business, especially my being a physician is so regulated you have few freedoms. The same can be said throughout the system, all brought on by the Dems over the last 100 years.
The GOP has been in charge for 2 years. Why didn’t they restore your “lost freedoms”?
Regarding your profession, how have the Dems taken your freedoms?
very long list jeff and I feel so little about your opinion that I am not going to write it out.
That’s what we thought.
The little voices are thinking now?
Too bad they don’t think better than you.
Your discourse needs a lot of improvement.
No, the GOP has not been in charge. It’s had to share with the Whigs who have been in Tom Donahue’s pocket.
Thankfully, they’ve been good enough to surrender their seats to Democrats who will spend the next 2 years doing all they can to see real Republicans gain them back in ’20.
Regarding your profession, how have the Dems taken your freedoms?
Medicare? Medical assistance? HIPAA? IdiotCare?
He’s so easy I almost feel embarrassed exposing him.
Almost.
HELLO !!! Let’s just make up this shit as we go along shall we?
