If you understood how trickle down economics worked, you wouldn't post bad tweets

If trickle-down economics worked, we wouldn’t see a record $1 trillion

in wealth gains for billionaires

at the same time as record wait times at food banks.

not quite sure what you think trickle down economics is or means ?
My introduction in real time came via writings David Stockman who sold it to Reagan then George HW Bush who labeled it " voodoo economics"
Stockman a year later rescinded his endorsement

But you knew that

What i see from that chart is quite literally everyone doing better today than 40 years ago

[goldfly]

Inflation from 1979 is 28%

So, aren’t 90% of people literally not doing better than they were?

[goldfly]

i mean, i've seen the non stop ads for the senate run off

so, i know you and your ilk have issues with understanding "socialism" and what people would like and it's usually a mix of a capitalistic/socialistic blend

but you really have to dumb as **** and being willingly trying to not understand that

side note, the tax the rich and the drink water and don't be racist shirts are fire

extra side note: think, she doesn't have term limits, so, she will get to live rent free in your and your idiot pals minds for as long as she wants to be in congress etc.

One would assume the chart is inflation adjusted or its not a chart worth posting

I support her efforts to make money on the back of her name.

Side note, I see those shirts are made of polyester... which is made with petroleum.

Hopefully the green new deal puts her out of business!

[sturg33]

Hahahaha the tax the rich shirt is $58.

Good for her getting her capitalism on. Sucks she is taking advantage of her dumb poor constituents though

[sturg33]

24% of US dollars were created in the past year...

I really believe that the very rich are disliked enough now that most of America would be on board with significant redistribution. The Hollywood stars filming commercials from their 5 star resort backyards to tell families in apartments to stay home and that we're all in this together was incredibly tone deaf. Mayors and governors locking down commoners while they eat at trendy restaurants, go on Caribbean vacations, and visit the salon added quite a bit to that.
It's the social stuff and defund the police messaging that holds it all back.

she used union owned and usa business etc to make them

that's what it would cost to produce that in the usa and pay people a fair wage

Lol her cancel student debt shirt costs $65.

Maybe those folks could send that money to their loans instead??

Nahhhh

[goldfly]

brilliant response

[sturg33]

I'm glad AOC is finding the virtues of capitalism. Maybe she will learn something.

It still cracks me up how she said people can't pull themselves out of a tough situation as she sits as a US congresswoman and will soon be a millionaire

i love the progression of this convo

it's almost like it doesn't matter what is said

you had your talking points ready to go to reply with anyway no matter what was said

the usual hits. this has been fun.

i look forward to doing this again soon on the next "got em" tweet where you overlook why something costs so much and how could people that like some socialists policies could ever also be in favor of capitalism.

The original tweet was calling her a capitalist.

My last point was glad she is embracing capitalism.

Seems I am staying on topic. Sorry youre mad your marxist hero is abandoning her principles to make a quick buck. Shouldnt those shirts be free??
