I like this comment. Should be simple if you want to live in the dark
Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Markey are aiming to eliminate the
U.S. carbon footprint by 2030.
This is how dumb AOC is.
The Green New Deal would be paid for the same way we paid for the
original New Deal, World War II, the bank bailouts, tax cuts for the
rich and decades of war with public money appropriated by Congress,
Ocasio-Cortez said.
We can't even raise the taxes to pay the government's bills now. We
are borrowing close to a trillion a year. Let's see how it works for
the democrats if they want to raise taxes enough to pay for the "Green
Deal".
We are all going to drown in debt long before sea level rise gets

Her mother should have taught her: "money doesn't grow on trees".
She doesn't think it grows on trees. She says it's in the hands of the
rich and she wants to redistribute it.
The problem is that people overestimate how much money the rich have
compared to a $20 trillion dollar debt or even the trillion dollar
annual deficit. A huge part of the problem is people think unrealized
capital gains are wealth.
And another problem is that people like her claim that it's unfair that
the founder of a company is worth a billion, while the lowest employees
are only making $30K. It would be nice if those making $30K were making
$40K or $50K instead. The problem is that the govt taking the rich guy's
billion, running it into the govt coffers, then ****ing it away on moon
beams or people who just don't want to work, doesn't get those workers
a $50K salary either. A good, thriving economy with low unemployment is
a better way of raising their salaries. I'd be willing to at least look
at other ideas to try to raise earnings overall, but taking all the money
of the rich, stuffing it into govt and silly socialist ideas, just
produces another Venezuela.
The money some CEOs make is the symptom of a much larger problem.
There are far fewer companies controlling far larger portions of the
marketplace. Perhaps a better measure of CEO pay would be the company
gross and market share.
People who control monopolies tend to make a lot of money. We haven't
really tried to do anything about monopolies since the Nixon
administration.
