She's addressing REAL American problems and putting PEOPLE over corporate interests. Isn't that what representation is supposed to be? How can people be so ungrateful?
You are right.
@Tom Smith she has two degrees and one of them is Economics. She's well versed on the subject. Perhaps you should aspire to expand your knowledge instead of rejecting ideas with prejudice.
JC Casiar lol yet she accuses people of catcalling when she’s called out on a debate to witness her expertise
@Tom Smith american is made of immigrants. Where do you think your family lineage came from? I think yours should have been let at the border.
AOC 2024
So glad we have Bernie, AOC and other people fighting for us. Also everytime I see her in a video or pic one of my first thoughts are "man she is just absolutely beautiful".
@Felipe Murillo we all have different opinions and taste.
Spot on with how environmentalism and the economy do not have to be conflicting interests.
@leicanoct Correct. We dont have money for the regular people if we want to keep our billionaires. Who do these pawns think they are? They should pay their taxes and shut up.
@Felipe Murillo the entire fossil fuel industry is almost entirely propped up by subsidies and other favorable legislation. Give those same advantages to renewable energy and see what happens.
@Felipe Murillo you havent looked into it very much then
Felipe Murillo that’s true and it’s more expensive. Power companies charge £980 for normal power but if you want only green power it’s £1,340.
@Felipe Murillo No, it's definitely you. The only thing stopping renewable energy from completely taking over is an artificial propping up of the fossil fuel industry through subsidies and useful idiots like you that read 15 year old information and think they know what they're talking about
Pay for it with the $3B Amazon tax subsidy.
Sweet lord 🙏 her in that green dress is all i want for Christmas
Really? You can't just respect her for her efforts?
Oh she is all that... She just fills her clothes so well
@Carl Jung LMAO I'm no leftist.
It's no longer equal opportunity country, used to be you could work hard and save, maybe open a small business or afford a few night classes, no longer Tru, have to work a few jobs just for basic survival, or even from childhood, public school so behind now, opportunity is now depending on what womb your born into, wealthy or poor. So much lost talent and opportunities, especially for our kids futures so sad.
Cara Crabtree it also depends on what job you go into, how good your people skills are, how good you are at your job, your experience on the job, how much you work, and where you work (location). Do u think an entry level sales position should make the same as the accountant? Do u believe in equal opportunity or equal outcome? Why could people rely on the government for their income as opposed to providing more working opportunities?
I wasn't born into a particularly wealthy family. I never broke the $30,000/year salary mark until I was 30 years old.
The main problem is that people constantly try to live beyond their means. They seem to need to "own" expensive cars,, have a ritzier house/apartment than they need, $1,000+ Iphones, too many dogs to feed, blow it on cigarettes and booze, crank the air conditioning, go to expensive colleges because they like how the place looks.... boy, I could go on a really long time regarding this.
There's something to be said about Grandma's rotary dial phone that hung on the wall for fifty years. Now people have the predilection to buy these gizmos that cost a grand and only expect to get a year out of it before they break it.
Cant wait till AOC is Speaker
Speaker of TGIF
@BKD Vickers We're not talking about you.
Speaker, unfortunately I am sure she will be. The people of Congress do seem to be getting more stupid.
Bry-Fi she’s raised more money than any other democrat in the house, including Pelosi, all without taking a dime in big donor money. She’s very very popular and is going to have a very long career

I love Bernie and AOC
They are both sellouts to Big Working Families.
You're not gonna love that paycheck if they get into office though
@@Michael45007 The top bracket of taxes is not millionaires, its anyone making 250,000-500,000 a year. Bernie himself also claims his tax plan will affect anyone with an income of 29,000 and above. Socalism swaps the 1%, and the middle class takes a beating somewhere in between. And all of this is based off the assumption that all rich people are bad and didnt work their way to the top.
Socalism also requires a mediocre life and completely non corrupt politicians forever. I'm not gonna throw accusations at Bernie for being corrupt, but this could just be a setup that gets used by a corrupt politician in the future.
Wanna be a doctor? Well you're gonna be on the direct end of these extreme taxes, because you now fall in that bracket. Which is ironic considering they want universal healthcare, which relies on good doctors. Taking away doctor's pay for the sole purpose of giving anyone Medicare is counterproductive.
A.O.C. rocks! My hero!!
Insecure men hate her.
Thank you, you heard the prayers. 🥰😘🥰
Why are americans keep reelecting the wrong politicians ?
Congressmen and Congresswomen are voted in by their district. The amount of people that voted her in wouldn't fill up a hockey arena. America did not vote for her......

Economy is not the driving force of humanity. It is only thought so, because it's greed that is the driving force.

@@lew2875 should we run out of time or loose competion. It 's like the Apollo Programms but even more important, workers with new jobs will pay taxes and buy other utilities this enhances the economy
pax und peace the Apollo programme ended because of a lack of public interest.
How about you do a little research to find out we give Chevron/Exxon/Shell SIX TRILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS EVERY YEAR on TOP of what we pay them for gasoline. Too stupid or lazy?
Don’t you see that investing in updating our infrastructure would be a HUGE stimulus package for our economy?
This woman.
Smh
This is fabulous! Made me cry!
Gullible you are!
Aoc for president!
I prefer AOC because she can't be bought, she has been in the trenches of the real America, she stands against corruption, she authored the green new deal, she is forward thinking, and she was a bartender before her public life. AOC is a breath of fresh air in this stagnant corrupt culture we call America. AOC! AOC!
I've tended bar and unless you have you have no clue how difficult that job is.
This woman needs to be president
NO
If she sys the same i see a bright,loved feirce leader
Rore girl spread ur wings dont let anything stop u
After so long, thank God we have her and Bernie very emotional. I am crying..
Jesus, this is heavy stuff to be hopeful for. And should it go without mention of what could possibly amazingly happen if and when Cenk Ugyr becomes a congressman?
God had nothing to do with it. It was proggressive people!
AOC for president 2028?
@@Michael45007 I don't like her Green New Deal or the price tag on all these programs/handouts. And the idea of public housing just doesn't sound like a good idea. Imagine the living conditions or the spread of disease.

David Miller It’s because she has better intentions than those that substitute oil and gas companies as well as those who thinks that economic development requires deforestation.
AOC is hot. I wish she was my girlfriend.
She was smart to not accept low selling on jobs from Amazon. Learn from San Jose and San Fran when the tech company come in, everyone's rent is going to spike . Good for her to watch out for her constituent's.

Richest country or not it's not my problem. Make better life choices so you don't have to live in public housing. I've worked very hard for what I have. The last thing I need is more government taking more of my money. Especially to pay for lazy people.
You can put a lot of people to work for Amazon.
@@LukewarmEnthusiast will there be enough work and money from Amazon when they cut jobs to pay those extra taxes you speak of? What happens to the small business owners that rely on Amazon to sell their products?
One need only look at the United Kingdom to see what government housing is like. Large swaths of inner cities in the North and Midlands are Stalinist dystopian nightmares.
But to make a larger point, just because people need a thing does not mean people have a right to a thing. Yes, we all need food, but when has a “right” to food ever been supported by argument? If you want to claim a right to something, you have to actually make the argument, not merely assert it. We certainly have a need to obtain food for ourselves and our families( or clothing, or housing etc) through lawful means, but why would we have a right to just get food through public subsidy? If ALL of our physical needs are rights that must be provided by public subsidy, then government will be ENORMOUS. It will tyrannize.
Jonathan LeBlanc what about all of OUR SUBSIDIES to the wealthy class?? Subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, to Big Corps, to Big Pharma, military industrial complex, medical industrial complex, etc.? That’s all fine and dandy, right?
In 2015, we (US) gave $649 BILLION for direct and indirect SUBSIDIES for coal, oil, and gas in the US, according to IMF reports (IMF-least known for being environmentally friendly). On top of that, same year, we funneled $599 BILLION in Pentagon’s military spending. Those figures have ONLY been INCREASING year after year.
Please justify how we (as a society, as a country) can spend money like that on things that are fundamentally wreaking havoc in the world and destroying our planet and not to UPLIFT our people in our country? We haven’t even gone into true $$$ figues in subsidies we spend in other prominent industries... all common denominator benefiting the wealthy class.
Btw, these kind of $$$ subsidies are the ONLY thing Republicans AND Democrats seem to agree and come together in passing peacefully. No surprise, they represent the wealthy class... not us 99%ers.
Then ppl like AOC who are actually doing her JOB (instead of fundraising BRIBES from the wealthy) are getting push back from ppl like you who. No matter, she will still fight for you, bcoz she’s doing her job fighting for us 99%ers-the ppl... our representation.
...unless you are in the royalty 1% class.
Otherwise, buckle up and wake up to the sign of the times.
You asked for an argument... here is mine:
Poverty should NOT EXIST in a society and we human beings are advanced enough to know that it is a glaring symptom of a socioeconomic and political crisis/issue in OUR society for US to RESOLVE.
In this way, we are ALL ACCOUNTABLE for this problem if it exists in our society-if we truly are a democracy-INEQUALITY and INJUSTICE are OUR failures/shortcomings in OUR society and it is our CIVIC DUTY to address these issues and TAKE ACTION to ADDRESS them until they are resolved.
Thanks to Trump’s permanent tax cuts for the wealthy class, giant monopolies like Amazon paid $0 in federal taxes in 2018... AND received $129 MILLION tax rebate ($$$ check /handout from the gov’t-not bcoz they overpaid in taxes as is the case for tax refund, but an arbitrary $$$ handout amount decided by the Gov’t... courtesy of the people... you know, the rest of US who actually PAY taxes(!!)) The wealthy class are breaking the backs of the middle/working class-NOT the poor(!)
We live in an oligarchy... not a democracy.
It is destroying this country w/it’s insatiable greed and destroying our planet.
All things scarier than supporting public goods that intentionally will UPLIFT impoverished communities to a path towards self-sufficiency, healthy living, overall stability and productivity of family units and less susceptibility to crime... all the while being environmentally conscious and humane.
Oh, and in the long run, it will not only pay for the initial investment cost but reduce what it costs us to sustain the cost of how we address poverty now (throwing some money at it and LOOKING AWAY).
PS: Unless you are part of the wealthy class, then like the 99%ers of this country, you are one devastating medical illness/condition/injury or layoff away from poverty EVERY second of your American Dream life.
mzismamacow but you haven’t shown how a need generates a right.
If this is not done with 3D printing then it is just a waste of tax payer money. And will take over 2 decades to finish.
Who voted AOC into congress?
Flash Jonz the American people
@@HighLow_Milo Unfortunately you're right. So why is she for socialism when democracy put her in power?
a bunch of idiots and freeloaders in a low turnout district.
Flash Jonz Those that were tired of Joe Crowley and wanted a progressive.
Sounds great!! But wait, who's gonna pay for all this? Is it not the main problem of America is the debt? How is a plan like this supposed to help anything?
We spend more money on military than the next 9 countries combined (who are allies) and gave big tax cuts to the rich. Nk one asked how we pay for that
@@albenmurcia4716 but why just tax the rich? Socialism literally bases itself around taking other people's money, but what happens when you run out of people's money?
You get free stuff, and you get free stuff, everybody gets free stuff!
Free? Free you say?? Oh goody - we can stop paying our taxes now cause everything's FREE - YAY!

@@samfrank4629 yes mate.
See...I'm pretty confused...our country has steadily made progress on having the the smallest carbon footprint possible...everytime a more cost efficient way comes out...people start upgrading...I mean, I wish we could just throw trillions of dollars without the money...I remember in elementary school we were taught about CFC's...quite alot of us started doing our best not to use it...when I moved here, they didn't even recycle or dispose car oil...folks throw their trash out the window when they are one mile from wherever they are going...my point is...we've been working on this for 30 years...but, it's more realistic than trying to make it all happen in 10 years
More public housing AKA The Projects.
There's nothing wrong with things being free. Every problem there is can be narrow down to not having enough money. If they are not for things being free then they are for control. Yet it supposed to be the land of the free and home of the brave. Although that's what we thought but I guess not. If you are not free and independent then you are a slave being dependent on them.
Ok so then everyone working to pay for these "free" things for people who don't want to work for what they have should also stop working....then what? Who will pay for all this free stuff?
@@mzk123ify Robots. Just keep in mind nothing can be free as long an economy main function is the use of money as a means of exchange. Free and money do not go hand to hand. But yes everyone working to pay for these "free" things for people who don't want to work for what they have should also stop working and let the robots have them. Robots taking jobs is a good thing, not a bad thing that most people portrait it to be. It's a bad thing if your livelihood depends on you having that job to make ends meet and you are forced out of work due to being technologically unemployed. But that's just it, the ultimate root of the problem which happens to be job dependency. Too many people depend on having jobs but not enough of getting ahead in life. Job dependency is why there are so many struggles. No one should ever be forced to struggle in trying to survive the rat race when they should just simply live their lives the way they see fit. Not what society tells them to do. Robots would be far more efficient and more than happy to serve you. If robots did most of everything then you can think of your life as a vacation on a resort. Just being provided services free of charge.

She makes $175K/yr. to tell the poor that they deserve more free stuff, paid for by those who work. She's a great short-term thinker. Take from those who earn, and give it to those who don't. Vilify success and wealth. Tout the rights of the poor, while ignoring their responsibilities.

@@LukewarmEnthusiast I see a different picture. Overpopulation. Supply and demand apply to labor rates just as they apply to materials. A generation ago, people were having kid(s) because: they wanted to, or they were unplanned. Nobody thought, "I should have a kid because there will be an American labor shortage." And now we have too many in the workforce. Some manufacturing jobs were outsourced overseas, and some have been lost to automation. Some studied and got rich. Some inherited. Most didn't. And they're jealous. They see what the rich have; they hear the politicians promise, and their sense of entitlement kicks in.
OK - I'm done ranting. Tell me: what's the correct wealth gap? And who decides? A politician looking for votes, or the market? Wages stay flat because there are people willing to work for that wage. If Worker #1 says, I'll do the job for $15/hr, but Worker #2 says, I'll do the job for $7.50/hr. who would the employer hire?
Also, the unemployment rate is only loosely affected by people working two, three or more jobs.
The formula for unemployment rate is: Unemployment Rate = Number of Unemployed Persons / Labor Force.
These billionaires employ most of America and this is how they contribute to the tax collection. Grant you they need to pay a flat tax for their earnings but not tax them so much they leave the US. If these people get their way most of the people in this country with serious money will leave this country and abandon or close the businesses in the US in which they own. This will stop all the tax dollars their business generates.
And what about all the taxes they are not paying with offshore accounts? They are profiting more from capitalism than they are contributing by a long shot.
@@BatterySonic SO! They are using their money to generate jobs. Do you just want want them to close all the businesses and leave the country? They need to pay their fair share in taxes but 90% is a pipe dream. Flat tax the entire country @ 15% no matter what you make. Even billionaires. People are jealous of them. They can't fund the entire country like these loony activists want. This is insane thinking.
