    So...the problem from your point of view, the hypocrisy right? Going to rich a event(that cost 30,000 per ticket) in an expensive dress while not following covid protocols that she wanted implemented on the public? That's what the crus of the argument is in this particular article, correct?

    Im not asking for attention, I'm asking for an explanation, if you really don't care about supporting your argument, how can I take your arguments seriously to begin with?

    If you want it to be that way then fine, but just know that you could have brought me to your side, had you given me an explanation supported by facts and logic.

    lol no. But your point does stand.

    The global market is highly complex and full of frothy ways for the rich to make money and avoid taxes. Additionally, taxes have been poorly used over the last couple decades and the ROI is very low. Raising taxes to pay for over prices services is about the dumbest thing I can imagine. Would I rather see my taxes go towards funding endless wars and lining the pockets of those in the medical cartel and the endless ways our taxes are poorly being used or would i just assume they stay in corporate treasuries and people who build and create?

    So again, a highly complex topic that is simplified in a stupid expensive dress full of her wealthy friends.

    You sound upset. AOC is a moron. When I made points you ducked. You should take your own advice. Nobody thinks you have any intelligence by the way

    She's absolutely clueless. I doubt anyone actually hates her but she's over the top left on everything. You're not being fair. She's fake and needs to go away

    Upon further examination, there can be only one conclusion to this post: a tard defending another tard.

    Okay but....one she was invited to the event(she never paid for the ticket or the dress) and two everyone at the event had to show a negative test and proof of vaccination.

    That being said.....

    What evidence do you have that taxes are largely being spend ineffectively, I would argue that Medicaid,Medicare and Social Security are all tax funded programs that are largely effective. Meanwhile things like trickle down economics are things that have largely been debunked.

    "Corporate taxation: these taxes are applied after the company has paid its operating expenses, but before the company pays out dividends to shareholders.
    So of course, conservative lobbyists have spent decades lowering the corporate tax rate, and lying to the public by saying that this will "create jobs", which is completely false. Lowering the corporate tax rate is all about increasing dividends to shareholders. It has absolutely nothing to do with job creation, since the corporate tax rate is applied after operating expenses are paid, including employee salaries."

    It feels like you and I want the same things, but you feel like taxing the rich is somehow dangerous?
