AOC Says Something Ignorant
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
“If it’s so ‘uninvestable,’ then why is NYC home to some of the most billionaires in the world?” AOC babbled. “This is what billionaires do. They leverage their power to gain platforms and spread unsubstantiated claims to push policies that are even more favorable to them than they already are.”
Um, “some of the most billionaires”? What does that even mean? But this is typical AOC. She babbles incoherently, but won’t listen to what business people are telling her about reality. Then that last sentence of hers — substitute “politicians” for “billionaires” and it would be more truthful.
Also, having a home in New York isn’t necessarily the same thing as putting the business there. But the truth is that residents, not just businesses, are also fleeing blue states like New York, because of the taxes, the crime, and the horrible policies for places like Texas and Florida. I wrote about that on Friday, when Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), AOC’s fellow socialist, tried to throw down with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
She and her socialist fellows are clueless. But the people are letting them know—they’re voting with their feet, as they flee.

Those billionaires may spend time there, but their businesses are incorporated in Delaware and their home addresses for tax purposes are in Florida.

This is why, it's generally stupid to try and impose a state "millionaire's tax", expecially when they have several homes.
They can just declare a different one their home. Instead of getting MORE money, they end up with less.
AOC: Tax the Rich, Except for Me
The investigation of AOC is focusing on her famed appearance at the Met Gala, which the New York Post says is “the world’s number one social event for the rich, famous and beautiful,” in Sept. 2021. The UK’s Daily Mail reported Monday that “AOC’s anti-corruption lawyer told the congresswoman’s team that she could attend the event, but only if she was listed as being a guest of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and not as a guest of event organizer Vogue magazine.” When you’re an elected representative and your “anti-corruption lawyer” tells you not to do something, you shouldn’t do it. Unless, of course, you’re AOC, and the rules are for those who aren’t favored mouthpieces of the elites.
AOC’s corruption watchdog gave her this warning because “the attorney feared that if she were listed as a guest of Vogue, she could be in violation of congressional rules which prohibit representatives from accepting gifts from companies that use lobbyists which Vogue’s parent company, Advance Media Publications, does.” In blithe disregard of this warning, however, the intrepid champion of the people “accepted a pair of $35,000 gala tickets and was listed as a guest of Vogue the night of the gala, but that the following morning staffers began pivoting to say she was a personal guest of Vogue editor Anna Wintour.” As if all that weren’t enough, AOC also “managed to pay a mere $300 for her $1,300 dress emblazoned with the phrase ‘Tax the Rich’ — along with the hours of design work, fittings, and styling — and then took months to pay back the paltry sum.” AOC’s true credo is clear: Tax the rich, except for me.
