Here I agree with you. OAC certainly isn't a perfect politician. I think she is right to try to shut down the special deals cities make to try to attract corporations (I don't see how it is legal for certain companies to get preferential treatment), however the idea that they are better off without Amazon having their second headquarters there is ridiculous. Instead, the city should have been focusing on zoning to create affordable housing and bring in the good paying jobs.NYC got a taste of progress recently.
Sooo much concern, but only enough to go around for democrats. Ivanka and Jared, no concerns given.

I bet she plays loud music though - annoying her neighbors! And dancing too.
Goddamn AOC.
I've got some open space for her if her neighbors are giving her a hard time.
Bruh, you're at the end of the line.
A well deserved treat to herself after her shrewd handling of the Amazon HQ deal.
Living in a tiny 600 square foot apartment is not a treat.
She probably has the fridge stocked with Dijon mustard
Fine as long as that shit doesn’t go on a burger if it does we’ll have fucking problems.

Is a billionaire advocating for the poor a hypocrite because they themselves are wealthy?
She's ready with the terrorist fist jabs.
Not only that, but I suspect that our fellow posters from rural Ohio and the Louisiana bayou are possibly incapable of understanding that over-employment can be a legitimate economic problem.Funny because she had no involvement with the Amazon deal. But thanks for reminding us that she's at the front of your nightly foaming rage sessions.
They have been conditioned by decades of propaganda.More fake news meant to divide and confuse.
And clearly it works on the Trumpers more easily than others.

Not even remotely. In fact, IMO the more people achieve the more they should help those less fortunate, and advocate for others to do the same. There is zero hypocrisy in using your own success to help those who need it.
And just imagine how our taxes might go down if people did the right thing on their own rather than government having to step in and do what people should be doing, but don't or won't.
I guess that's the sweet spot for billionaires - talk about helping the "less fortunate" and how you support Democrats so you don't get grief from folks like AOC or @Jhhnn but sleep tight knowing you won't need to pay the taxes they claim to want to impose. Sure your marginal tax rate may fluctuate a few points over the years (from 36% to 39% and back again) but by no means do you actually volunteer to actually hire people or donate substantial amounts of your fortune to helping people directly. They know the game is to say "sure I'm willing to pay higher taxes" but everyone winks and knows that's a lie, it's just about virtue signalling for "team progressive" to satisfy the rubes.
