Cortez was upset that amazon wouldn’t guarantee enough jobs to residents of a specific poor housing project. so now none of them will get anything.
Hooray!!!
how are they better off without this project? liberal democrat governor cuomo said tax revenues would have been tens of
billions.

What position does she have in New York city politics? If anyone should be yelled at it should be Generas. But that doesn't fit the agenda so most won't mention him.

she’s very, very influential right now ( and i sincerely love it). she was one of the commies leadingbthe charge against it. she didn’t want wealthy people
(150k isn’t very wealthy there) changing the projects, so she’s getting what she wanted, those projects will
get zero lift.
Does she understand the concept that stuff has to be paid for? where does she think the money comes from? that’s theres some limitless atm out there, that we can use as much as we want, as long as our intentions are good?
she’s a child. a not-very-bright child. you want to see the difference between educated and smart, she’s it.

Now she is a commie. Tough to keep up with all the insults and name calling that you do.

hyperbole paul. a little bit of hyperbole. not a whole
lot of daylight between communism
and what the green new deal would
require.
she’s precious. but to you, she has no flaws worth discussing, your issue is with me for laughing at her. you don’t mind her writing laws and crafting budgets, but you object to me making fun of her for being a laughingstock. good for you.

Minor character. If she and the woman from Minn? want to be treated seriously they need to tread lightly instead of throwing bombshells. she is naive and while I didn't read the green deal thing I would view it more as a target to aim for rather than something we need to do w/in 10 years. Needs to understand w/today's environment she needs to watch everything she says and does bf putting it out there.
Her 70% tax rate got some traction.

"Minor character"
On paper, in theory, she should be a minor character. But she wields a ton of influence, because her wing of the party (the progressive socialist wing) is where the national party is going. She drafted an absolute laughingstock of a green new deal, and I think every democrat presidential nominee endorsed it.
"If she and the woman from Minn? want to be treated seriously they need to tread lightly "
I view them very differently. Cortez is an energetic, young person who wants to serve, I respect that, I just think her ideas are a joke. But I think she's harmless. Omar in MN, looks to me like a Jew hater who absolutely despises the principles the country was founded upon. She is deranged and extremely dangerous, in my opinion. I get why someone like Cortez got elected, I can't fathom how anyone not in ISIS could elect Omar to anything. I don't know I've ever seen anyone more alarming in Congress. But thankfully, (to me) she doesn't have the influence that Cortez has.
"Needs to understand w/today's environment she needs to watch everything she says and does bf putting it out there. "
She would do well to have you advising her.
"Her 70% tax rate got some traction"
It did. I think our taxes can be more progressive at the upper levels. I wouldn't go as high as 70%, and I'd also go after capital gains and dividends, that's where the money is for the really wealthy, as opposed to ordinary income.

Spence, you said Cortez was opposed to the 3B tax incentives. You're right, and she says that the city can now use that 3B to invest themselves.
Neither she, nor you, has a clue.
The city of NY wasn't going to give Amazon a check for 3B. Rather, Amazon would pay 3B less in taxes than they'd owe without the incentives. It's NOT like the city now has that 3B that would have otherwise gone to Amazon.
Clueless.

Funny, I never said such a thing. You're (again) just making things up to argue with yourself. It's odd.

yes you did. you said cortez opposed the deal because of the 3b tax subsidy. if that post is gone, it’s because you took it down.
getting 3b less than you thought you’d get ( but still getting something), is better than getting zilch. not to you or the mensa candidate Cortez.

Is that true? I thought he just had a congressional email account, which liberals say is common, and conservatives are saying is treasonous. Depends on who you listen to.

I criticize Fox regularly, for their partisanship and hypocrisy. Yes, you really have me on the ropes.

It shows your pettiness because you start another threat today about the far left media I believe is the word you used and Fox News and Breitbart were all over this and got it totally wrong. Is it because we rightfully expect less out of these two? Probably so since they've been caught lying so many times before. The reason people on the left here didn't start a another threat about it is cuz we are not as petty as the people on the right

Saying that she's a genius is like saying the guy that ran that "Heaven's Gate" cult was a true visionary with a great plan!

"AOC: Did the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company?
Cohen: Yes.
AOC: Who else knows that the president did this?
Cohen: Allen Weisselberg (chief financial officer of the Trump Organization), Ron Lieberman (its executive vice president), and Matthew Calamari (its chief operating officer).
AOC: ... Do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to compare them?
Cohen: Yes. And you'd find it at the Trump Org.
AOC: ... The president may have improperly deflated the value of his assets to avoid paying taxes. … Would it help for the committee to obtain federal and state tax returns?
Cohen: I believe so."
Quicker than preparing an instant dessert, Ocasio-Cortez established the House Oversight and Reform Committee's right and the necessity to subpoena Trump's tax filings with the federal government, various states, and municipalities. It is very likely these will reveal documentary proof of tax fraud, insurance fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes.
