AoC Gets a $312 Haircut and Attempts to defend her socialism loving self indulging in elite capitalism

[Starbuck1975]

You're a day late and a dollar short.

A dollar short of $300 is still a car payment.

 

[Victorian Gray]

Of course. It's always THEY need to pay more. Never WE need to pay more, or I MYSELF need to pay more.

Oh how partisanly typical.

Speaking of "partisanly typical", how about that hair style, eh?

 

[TheVrolok]

I'm a 1%er. I, and those like me, need to be required to pay more.

It's ok, the hairstyle was halal.

btw:

Myth #2 – If I make a partial payment to the car finance company they do not have a right to repossess my vehicle.

Truth – Partial payment on your car note is not full payment. Therefore the unpaid portion is considered late. The lender still has a right to repossess the vehicle for non-payment.

Your blue state Democratic legislator almost exclusively control the amount the 50% pay. No amount of you putting misleading graphics up will change that. If you want the poors to pay less then you need to reduce your regressive SALT.

Yes, because that's going to fix Trump's trillion dollar deficits and AOCs capitalist $312 salon appointments..

Do you even know what point you are trying to make or what thread you are in?

Income inequality was lower.

Income inequality was at an all time lowest during the great depression.... no one had anything. No one got paid for anything.
Wouldnt exactly call it the best of times.

Income equality doesnt mean crap unless everyone gets enough to live comfortable.

 

[Bitek]

Pensions.

Investments in infrastructure..

... Affordable healthcare

... Affordable education

... Affordable housing

... Wage growth

... Standard of living increasing proportional to GDP

I thought we had a concern right after she moved to DC about her clothes? There was also much concern about the apartment she had rented in DC. I guess if she isn't living out of a box on the street, eating out of trash cans, and washing up in gas station bathrooms, wearing only thrift store clothing she can't talk about anything related to income disparity. Of course doing those things would also make her too stupid to be able to discuss income disparity since she has "no clue" how the world works. Schrodinger's liberal strikes again!

I wouldn't doubt it. It's like a case of right wing herpes, it flares up every now and then and they can't resist scratching.

I see this little fit of AOC rage had ran it's predictable course of stupidity and the critics have had to divert into the safety of trickle down economics tax policy

That's ridiculous argumentation.

Opinion | The Economics of Soaking the Rich (Published 2019)

What does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy? A lot.

www.nytimes.com

it’s a policy nobody has ever implemented, aside from … the United States, for 35 years after World War II — including the most successful period of economic growth in our history.

To be more specific, Diamond, in work with Emmanuel Saez — one of our leading experts on inequality — estimated the optimal top tax rate to be 73 percent. Some put it higher: Christina Romer, top macroeconomist and former head of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, estimates it at more than 80 percent.

Where do these numbers come from? Underlying the Diamond-Saez analysis are two propositions: Diminishing marginal utility and competitive markets.Diminishing marginal utility is the common-sense notion that an extra dollar is worth a lot less in satisfaction to people with very high incomes than to those with low incomes. Give a family with an annual income of $20,000 an extra $1,000 and it will make a big difference to their lives. Give a guy who makes $1 million an extra thousand and he’ll barely notice it.

 

[Jhhnn]

If they have it so bad I'm sure there are many willing to trade them places and pay the higher taxes.

Ain't it the truth. Trump brags that he pays no income taxes & his fans love him for being a most excellent get over artist & tax parasite. Hillary paid 30% & gave 10% to charity, swore to raise her own taxes, but she's the crooked one. Go figure

 

[DarthKyrie]

If you repeal taxes without increasing them somewhere else, you lose money. Gotta tax someone, and taxes have to increase somewhere if they decrease somewhere else.

Not according to the Reich. If you cut taxes to 0% we should be rolling in tax dollars, you just have to ignore that the tax rate is 0% which means no tax revenue coming in.

I know I’ve never understood this idea, I can understand that marginal cuts somewhere could make sense but we have been pulling the tax cut lever since the mid 80s.
From being involved in sales for a long time at some point you need to find a new lever to pull. You can’t keep pulling the same lever and expect the same result forever.

All that lowering taxes at the Federal level has accomplished is jacking up taxes and fees on the state and local level making it more expensive than if things had stayed the same. I am convinced that the people that bitch about taxes the most are really bitching about how much they are paying on the state and local level and not in Federal taxes.

 

[cytg111]

Because money is something that is constant. It never adds or drops in value - and likewise, products never adds or drops in value.... They just always stay constant, right? Thus why we can judge everything based on the past for everything.

Again though, you're just proving the point. What did citizens have "way back when" that they no longer have now?

This discussion is off the rails.
Money = Power of purchase stuff in society.
You can own all the effen gold in the universe, if you are the only peep in existence, its worth nothing.
So wealth is only worth something in context of ALL the rest humanity.
Where do you want to be wealthy?
Egypt?
Sudan?
USA?
Scandinavia?
Syria?
And with that choice in mind .. ponder why that is! Take a breather, think about it.
Another point here, as demonstrated in real time in America, is that wealth is stupid.
Extreme wealth will move to create more wealth for it self, create propaganda outlets they will make sweet love to the inside of common folks skulls to convince them that they dont need healthcare or unions or any of that evil socialism stuff.
Extreme wealth will then buy its way into politics.. and when possible sell that politics to whomever is buying, domestic or foreign.
This all results in a degraded model for society, that very same society that gives wealth its intrinsic property of value to begin with. Extreme wealth is suicidal. And it so happens to do a lot of collateral damage in its wake.
Thus extreme wealth will always move to erode its own foundation, its the nature of extreme capitalism.
An extremely wealthy 1% and a stupidly wealthy 0.1% is killing your country right now.

Citation needed as to her claiming to struggle with her debt. Saying she has debt is not the same as saying she is struggling with it.

Good job trying to police her spending habits though.

Hahaha with all your conspiracy arguments are you sure you hate Trump or you really can't vote for him again because of your own hate towards others who make "questionable decisions" in your mind and then want government help to bail them out?

I bet there are plenty of doctors who bought a fancy car before paying off their medical school expenses. Or even a guy like me who bought ten suits for work before I paid my student debt.

You are just trying to find fault here when the facts are not in your favor.

"I think it's so funny, a year ago, I was waiting tables in a restaurant and it was literally easier for me to become the youngest woman in American history elected to Congress than it is to pay off my student loan debt." - OCZ

Sure sounds like she was struggling to pay off that debt. Will you continue to be obtuse and argue semantics? It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong, at least that’s what a wise person once told me.

Doctor’s aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. I actually know quite a few. They make so much money, that maintaining some student loan debt is part of their financial planning.

I had to buy clothes for work too at one time, which meant I had to budget out frivolous purchases

Nice try. Better luck next time.

Her (new) current salary makes it possible to pay off that debt in a single year.

And why bring it up? You want big gov morality police on how people spent their money? What kind of idea is that you presented, communism?

Uhmm, she was saying it was a struggle to pay it off as a BARTENDER. When she got her expensive haircut she was a MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Gee, I wonder if that wasn’t a minor raise.

Yes, it is good to admit you are wrong. I hope you’re adult enough to do so.

I was just going to post this. House reps get paid nearly $200k per year; waiting tables at a restaurant doesn't. I'm sure she's making massive progress with her student loans and can now afford an "expensive" haircut...

Critical thinking is severely lacking in a lot of people.

 

[Jaskalas]

"But her haircut!"​

You know, as a Capitalist, I favor AOC doing her part to invest in hair salons. Also, as a Capitalist, I frankly do not care how she spends her money.

If only others were as comfortable with Capitalism as I am. There would be no need for a topic attempting to demean a woman purchasing a service at the going rate.
