Champagne Socialism

Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez dismissed criticism that her lifestyle was in conflict with the green programs she advocated, saying “I’m just living in the world“.

And if she’d stop trying to tax us to death, we’d be able to afford to live in it too… even without having millions in campaign donations to live off of.

  1. When you elect immature people to office you get immature reasoning. I put the blame squarely on the Founding Fathers who did not also put age restrictions on serving in Congress like they did the Presidency.

      Dem Lawmaker Introduces Amendment To Lower Voting Age to 16 in Federal Elections

      Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) on Tuesday introduced an amendment to the House election reform bill that would lower the voting age from 18 to 16 in federal elections.

      “I am honored & excited to be introducing my very 1st amendment on the House floor, an amendment to #HR1, the #ForthePeopleAct,” Pressley, a first-term congresswoman who represents the 7th Congressional District in Massachusetts, said on Twitter. “My amendment will lower the voting age from 18 to 16, allowing our youth to have a seat at the table of democracy.”

      Pressley argued in a succession of tweets that citizens who are 16 and 17 make substantial contributions to America’s “labor force and to their local economy through paying taxes.”

    Have you seen the little proggies
    “Living in the world”?
    And for all the little proggies
    Here’s your poster girl
    Always having pearls
    Thrown before her.

    Have you seen the bigger proggies
    Take it in the shorts?
    You will find the bigger proggies
    At their last resorts
    Always have the courts
    To play around in.

    In disguise, with all their backing,
    They don’t care what goes on in the Bronx
    Eyes on prize, devise a hack job
    What they need’s a damn good whack-job.

    Everywhere there’s lots of proggies
    Living proggie lies
    You can see them out for dinner
    With their proggie guys
    Flipping off the earth
    With each hamburger.

  3. Champagne Socialism has worked well for Bernie Sanders…he’s got a six digit yearly income with a guaranteed pension, a vacation home in upstate NY plus two other homes. Yes I’d say Socialism has done pretty well for Bernie and I’ll bet his champagne isn’t Cook’s either.
