Ocasio-Cortez Eager to Spend Imaginary Money

[Des]

NY wetback representative Ocasio-Cortez is performing a victory dance after doing her part to keep the massively wealthy company Amazon from setting up shop in her state.


Cortez, who allegedly majored in economics, displayed keen socialist logic after Amazon pulled up stakes by announcing that the 3 billion dollar tax break which was to entice Amazon to the state, can now be used to build subways and put people to work.


The fact that the 3 billion was a tax incentive, not a cash-on-hand gift basket of money, seems to be lost on the deluded young communist. Honestly, socialism always fails when they run out of other peoples money. It doesn't get its foot through the door when they start spending non-existent money.


Someone should send this bimbo back to college, in Mexico where she belongs.

It's obvious Ocasio-Cortez is like other Messicans, stoned on the national drink, tequila:

This all saddens me very much.

I heard during a lunch last fall at the LBC Men's Club that Mr. Bezo had pledged 10% of the tax windfall to the Pastorial Plane fund. I am sure that wetback AOC has no intention for honoring the pledge even though she stole the money.

Mr. Bezos (and all billionaires for that matter) should hold a contest every year for States to show off their willingness to prostrate themselves to corporate power. I'm talking logos on State flags, billions in tax credits, suspension of environmental laws, immunity deals, guaranteed contracts. In fact, why do we even have States? Can't we make it all private property with fences and giant factories? Workers, I mean citizens, can live rent free right at their desks.

By some estimates those 25,000 jobs were to bring in $25 billion in state and city tax revenue over the period.

AOC ("Occasional Cortex") should consider going back to bartending or embark on a career in pole dancing.

Amazon had said that the new campus would bring 25,000 "full-time high-paying jobs" to New York, and would be fueled by $3 billion in state and city incentives paid to Amazon.

NYC mayor de Blasio has since tried to explain simple economics and tax incentives to Miss Majored in Economics Ocasio-Clueless, but since he didn't do it in Mexican she probably didn't understand a word he said.

So 25-3=Too complex for a woman to understand. AOC not only looks like a barbie doll, she thinks like one too:

This would be different if this was part of a coordinated, unified strategy to prevent the "race to the bottom" where regions compete to be the most servile to corporations. If every region was with AOC, Amazon would have nowhere to go, the auction would have no lowest bidder. Amazon would have to choose a location based on economically rational reasons, rather than political reasons.

But that's not what's happening.

Now New Yorkers are still unemployed, and American politics is still as corrupt. And don't say it's not corrupt because nothing illegal is happening. Saying America isn't corrupt because it's law-abiding is like saying that a sewer isn't dirty because it's designed to be filled with poop.

Very insightful Brother Jeb, the root of the problem here is having politicians "bid" for anything. It's the Democrats that figured out how to bribe you for your vote with your own money (taxes - minus the normal "handling" fees).

This can all be traced to giving the right to vote to women, and now permitting them to run for public office. Women have not historically fared well here - like putting them in charge of running the Garden of Eden, they're prone to listening to talking snakes (Democrats).

Men, on the other hand, should have learned by now not to listen to them.

I’m perhaps missing something here:

So each job was going to bring in $1,000,000 in taxes.

I think this gives some idea of how heavily Demoncrats like to tax other people’s money.
