The normalization of mental illness!

🤦🏼‍♂️

But we can’t deny it has also made us the richest country in the world. You don’t destroy something great without a replacement.

If democracy is to survive, the entire capitalist system worldwide needs to be overhauled..

Politico is a weak blog with a fictitious writing staff that is poorly educated on every issue they report on. Ocasio wants for America what is happening in Venezuela. She is a socialist moron who used to be a coffee server and now thinks she understands politics. 🐴❄️🐴💩

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS, SINCE SHE WAS DANCING IN HER HUGGIES

It’s certainly has much better outcome than the socialism in Venezuela.

The country will be in serious jeopardy if this rhetoric infiltrates mainstream...

Ford:' .... don’t always agree with AOC’s politics. But she’s giving voice to millions of Americans who work hard but get left behind.' Interesting! This is a significant part of Trump's base.

Le Capitalisme Sauvage

you don't think it has anything to do with the fact Congress is bought and paid for ?

Yeah, but what does she propose?

You all have zero grasp of how capitalism - the best imperfect economic system - is the most effective engine for getting people out of poverty, don’t you?! (Qualification for a FakeNews job: score less than two out of ten in a basic economics assessment. Wow.)

...greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins: lazy & unproductive workers is the problem; they want to take (with the help of the gov...) what they did not earn. 😎

Slave wages isn't equity or equality. US Corporations have been given cover by our 'Polity' to exploit labor here & around the world amassing historic profits. They didn't get rich on their own. We are the most prosperous when the Oligarchs pay a higher rate 91% EISENHOWER RIP

I am with her 100%!!!

Completely idiotic. It’s the abuses not the mechanism that’s to blame as well as the politicians who take the money and change laws and look the other way to allow the abuse to continue.

DemocRATS need someone like you to be there leader Pelosi fears you because your popular and her polls are down, plus she don't meet with constituents. She won't answer questions she won't take great bills the President sent which is hate Hate blinds her, you be a great speaker

idiots!

time for enormous discrepancy between the average person and the VIPs income to be narrowed..... these VIPs absolutely could NOT be successful without the workers...truth is a company needs the workers as much or MORE than the VIPs without them nothing gets DONE

Capitalism is great for selling a better mousetrap, or TV, or cars or other consumer goods. But some things are too big and too important to be left to the marketplace and healthcare is one of them.

Crony Capitalism isn’t Capitalism. It’s Corporate Socialism. Democrats in Michigan support Crony Capitalism virtually 100% - as do Establishment Republicans.

AOC LisaDNews costareports It all seriously began in 1980 with Reagan's presidency. He immediately turned to the 'era of the 50's' right, and Trump is now sealing in the long-term effects.

They just need to work on lowering the National debt and not go any deeper.

The current system of for-profit health insurance corporations and their obscenely paid CEOs has failed miserably. Time for M4A.

The redistribution of wealth already exists — is it being suggested that it’s not enough? Where does it stop? Is the focus on taking money from people, or ensuring those that allegedly don’t have enough are working harder? Or both?

Before Reagan & NeoLibs triangulated to protect the Billionaire Class (540 of them). Ppl were able to work 1 job & afford to live comfortably. Inequity & Income Inequality deteriorates the fabric of a nation. Tax the Billionaires the Eisenhower tax rate of 91%. Level them out!

The pursuit of happiness is guaranteed, not happiness itself. If you want to make more money you must go beyond complaining and get the skills required to make more money.

Only the greedy and entitled feel that way. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in history. FactsMatter

Democratic party has gone far left, like the media, there are not journalist anymore.....just far opinon anchors and reporters.

You cannot legislate out ‘negative outcomes’...that’s called restriction of liberty. Goal of Govt in capitalism is insure equal opportunity...so everyone can pursue happiness, it is NOT guarantee or even deterrent...Capitalism is based on concept of RISK & REWARD.

Agreed, take pol and fin power away from the reagan-cancer. Also maybe fish swimming for Kudlow, Meese?

POLITICOMag to help people earn more just make sure all people are earning thr highest low income they can..a step but barely.

American capitalism means everyone has the opportunity to work and earn money. Jyst because 1 person has success, doesn't mean another fails. Everyone can succeed. Problem is AOC and SenWarren wants to reward snowflakes who want others to take care of them.

Paycheck fairness? Does that entail eliminating paycheck taxes? No? Then its not fairness, nor fair. TaxationIsTheft

Painfully obvious that those attacking this piece didn’t read it or can’t comprehend it. Changes in how we conduct business must change. People have been known to riot for want of bread. Too much is in the hands of too few.

POLITICOMag Just got it from ACLU..fine to make sure equal pay, although the real impact idk how big. That said does little

Our economic system doesn't need changes, our laws and culture do. When the rich and greedy can make their own laws through payoffs and lobbying, and our Representatives in govt sell their votes to the highest bidder, we, as Americans, have failed ourselves. Not capitalism./1

Sadly is has become cool to run down success and demonize the successful. What people are missing is that getting rich always took hard work and sacrifice it was never easy.

Unchecked capitalism

She is soooooooo stupid. Capitalism has fed, housed and enriched more people than every other economic system combined. If an American is ignorant of this fact, they are Unqualified to have an opinion.

'Eric Foner, the Columbia U. professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, reminds us that American history is replete with ideas initially dismissed as radical but which were ultimately accepted because they were right, proved to work and made our nation safer and stronger.'

POLITICOMag yes so let's become Communist as that has worked well.just ask 40 million dead Russians.

Socialism is the wish of lazy people who have no vision, initiative, resourcefulness, in short, gumption. They want everyone else to care for them. The same people who spend 15+ years in the same minimum wage job and blame everyone else when they haven’t made an effort to improve

Same job same pay: let’s talk about UPS women demand the same pay but can’t lift the same boxes.

Occasional-Cortex strikes again.....'STRAIN?' The word paycheck came into existing BECAUSE of Capitalism.

Sooooooo Capitalism is bad? So we are pushing exactly what? Communism? Fascism? Feudalism?

Crony capitalism is practised by the left and right.

It has a negative effect on lazy pieces of shit that are to lazy to work for what they want over having the government taking care of their every need.

Right on the problem - wrong on the solution.

Show the country with the better economic picture for the people using your socialist agenda

Capitalism has been one of the greatest contributors to the fall in poverty tho 🤔

She isn’t right. She doesn’t really know.

Thank you Politico for promoting my protege.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls Out Facebook, Google and Microsoft for 'Implicit Support' of Climate Change DenialAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls Out Facebook, Google and Microsoft for 'Implicit Support' of Climate Change Denial AOC And yet she has no idea what that is. AOC She should shut her piehole. Less methane in the atmosphere will result AOC So many of us love AOC because she's not asking Mark Zuckerberg to explain how a smartphone works. She is a gov't official who actually understands how this generation works and wants proactive leadership, rather than reactive ideas to problems that have been allowed to fester.
