Trump isn't the one claiming that "socialism is fine, until you run out of other people's money", and at the same time being completely blind to the irony of the US government doing exactly that every year.

He could just keep raising the debt limit and double the nation's debt in 8 years like his predecessor did.

He's also not the one that calls a 70% tax on people earning over 10 mil as a "tax on citizens"

You mean those who earn over 10 million are "non-citizens"? No wonder they keep coming over the border!

A person would have to live in a fantasy land to believe that the 70% margin will only be applied to the 'rich'.....remember, socialism is great until you run out of other people's money.

That wasn't what was proposed, so the fantasy is yours.

Sorry already chased one set of goalposts this morning, don't have time for another. I'll keep an eye out for anyone that can stay on the topic.
30 trillion in additional spending is as much on topic as those who would vote to saddle us with it.....

Actually it was AOC's own words.....
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 70% Tax Plan: What All Americans Need to Know
For starters, this wouldn't be the highest tax rate in our history, and most people wouldn't be affected.

Though she was only sworn into Congress three weeks ago, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has already received national attention for her recent proposal of a sky-high 70% marginal tax rate on the highest earners in the United States.

At first, such a high tax rate may sound like a radical idea, but it's not unprecedented, and many Americans don't fully understand how it would affect them -- if at all. With that in mind, here's a rundown of Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, how it compares to previous tax policies, and what it could mean for your tax bill.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 70% Tax Plan: What All Americans Need to Know -- The Motley Fool

My statement was made because 70% tax on the wealthiest won't even come close to covering 30 trillion in added debt. Do the math......

Based on what the climate science data says, many of AOC's proposals are the realistic ones, and the status quo is dangerous complacency.

Most Democrats seem to disagree, based on how they voted.

And Fijians and other Pacific peoples may rise up in judgement against them on the Last Day as well.

How admirable of him to mock the opposition.


Sometimes the opposition deserves to be mocked. In regard to the Democrats and the Green New Deal, this is one of those times.
