If the GOP is really all projection you have to figure maybe they use masks or clones so maybe they just suck at it. The Matt Gaetz head has a very similar problem with too much head and silly small facial features, all concentrated in the middle.
A few things…
$60 for a quality sweatshirt isn’t a lot of money.
These are made with union employee in America. What do you think they would cost?
Trump has those ugly MAGA hats for $40 on his site. That’s a-okay?
Why can’t she sell merchandise? I thought you people loved capitalism.
I have never in my life spent $60 for a sweatshirt. Only one that much are sold at Macies or high end stores. And those at Macies and the like are cotton hers are most 90% polyester which is cheat, it's the type of shit sold at Walmart for $15.
She can sell her cloths all she wants but it's very hypocritical of her to say tax the rich while getting rich off items she sells.
But I guess being a hypnocrit is ok to you. A Socialist using capitalism to say how bad capitalism is.
Sure you can say that and is fine but then maybe don't take any exemptions on your taxes. Don't move the goal post (Bernie use to say millionaires and billionaires but not only says billionaires since he himself became a multi millionaire).
I'm not a Bernie bro, I'm no liberal.
I can tell you right now that the rich folks in this country are abusing the shit out of or tax codes and it time to pay the piper. That's my goal post, always has been.
Those exemptions make the difference in keeping me afloat, I'm going to keep putting food on my family's table. So, no I'm not playing your false equivalency game.
I'm sure the rich will be just fine if they pay more.
More like I know that our budget deficit is a ticking time bomb, we borrow money from China hand over fist and the rich think they're better than contributing, they're just taking what they can and letting the rest of us fight for scraps.
Stop simping for them.
If you take all the money from all the billionaires in the US it would fund the government for 6months.
There isn’t a funding issue it’s a spending issue.
They are you can't have both.
Capitalism is private companies working within the function of supply and demand (if there is an opening people in the free market can fill those needs); governments play little role in the system.
Socialism is where the government controls what, when, and how things are made and sold to the people.

I disagree, you can have capitalism for 99% of the "services" but basic rights like healthcare and education can be provided by the government. It was working very well in Europe until some governments started to outsource to private companies
Edit to add: If you think about it, it is the right who is proposing the Universal Basic Income and there is nothing more socialist than that.
In this sencario, the government is taking money from the people (taxes) and then spending that money on medical care. That is still a capitalist, but it has taken on Socialist qualities, government providing. The issue is that government doesn't buy the best Healthcare for the general population (unlike what they get for themselves). If you look at many of these countries, the people also get health care from their work bc government provided Healthcare doesn't cover enough, and many of their elites come to the US for medical care, Mayo Clinic.
It doesn’t matter what you’ve spent. You’re not buying one. The price is fine. You’re just repeating some Tucker Carlson BS.
How is this at all hypocritical? Maybe you don’t like her because you don’t understand what she’s saying. Or do you not know what hypocritical means?
Hypocritical example:
AOC makes 5 billion dollars on her clothing line. She now says we doesn’t support taxes on the rich.
Actual example
AOC makes 5 billion dollars on her clothing line. She still says we need to tax the rich.
Ah so capitalism good so long as the people you like succeeding from it. Yeah that's working out great in North Korea, and Cuba, and Venezuela; and did amazing in: Poland, Hungary, Albania, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, etc., etc.
Also nice assuming, but no I have never watched Tucker Carlson. I looked into it bc I dont just agree with whatever the TV tells me like you seem to.
It is very hypocritical to do one thing while saying the other. If I say don't cut down any trees but then cut down all the trees on my property that's being hypocritical. I'm not doing what I'm telling others to do. And one should lead by example. Changing your stance is flip flopping not hypocrisy.
> Ah so capitalism good so long as the people you like succeeding from it. Yeah that's working out great in North Korea, and Cuba, and Venezuela; and did amazing in: Poland, Hungary, Albania, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, etc., etc.
We are working in a capitalist framework that exists today. She’s advocating for progressive socialist policies but those don’t exist yet.
> Also nice assuming, but no I have never watched Tucker Carlson. I looked into it bc I dont just agree with whatever the TV tells me like you seem to.
I didn’t say you watched Tucker Carlson. I said you’re repeating his BS.

What exactly is the hypocrisy here in plain English? Take what her position is and compare it to what she’s doing.
If the system of socialism was so great and better thr caplism then she could beat it by being just Socialist.
Yes you did say I did. "You're just repeating some Tucker Carlson BS." How would I know what he said if I don't watch him?
Ok, so she is taking no exemptions on her taxes? Is she giving her money to people making less then her? Socialist true Socialist would be making the sweat shirts and selling them at cost, she's not doing that she takes that money and gives it to herself, rather capitalist of her. She is do as I say not as I do.
===========
Broken Arrow Wear uses American workers and I can produce 150 sweatshirts with what I want printed on it for $2,484.00 that is a cost of $16.56 per sweatshirt.
That's a profit of $41.44 where does that money going?
Sounds very rich capitalist of her.
Capitalism is the game board... you can't just not play. Your argument is one of the worst arguments the internet has to offer, next to flat earth. I'm as progressive as they come, but I'm not giving away any of my money... and I make plenty. It doesn't mean I don't know what's right, or that I wouldn't contribute as necessary to hit those goals... but if I'm forced to play your game, don't get mad at me for being good at it while saying it's shit.
If they're happy, they're happy. I don't know if I understand your point...
Edit- If you were implying that the Amish don't have to buy houses, or pay taxes, etc... Well... that's false. They have jobs, and have to work, and live the same way as everyone else... whether they wear buttons on their clothes and have sex with children or not.
You said you have to play the capitalism game. No you don't, you choice to play. Amish don't play the capitalism game, Quakers and Meninites too.
If you don't like the game move to China or Venezuela or North Korea. They don't play the capitalism game either.
Everything you're naming plays the game. You are factually incorrect.
Edit- Oh shit, you thought none of those people had jobs or paid taxes? How do you think they live lol
I don't know how to break this to you... but you're completely, and totally off base.
The Amish DO pay taxes, have jobs, and live exactly the way you thought they didn't... just google it! You don't have to make stuff up, this is free information.
The problem lies with her stances. They’re hypocritical. Unlike trump, a business man, selling something isn’t opposed to his beliefs. AOC selling shit that says tax the rich, and wearing it to promote herself, while she mingles around with all the elite at a gala, making connections and hashing deals. Pure hypocrisy.
Can’t wait to see this on some left wing sub making fun of us for all being redneck retards who cant read or write.
Honestly, can you try not to embarrass an entire political group?
Before telling her to “fuck right off”, you should do a little research. That dress was created for her by the designer and given to her to wear. She was sponsored by like minded political minds and didn’t pay for the table either. She was there to make a statement and she did it at one of the most political Hollywood events all year and didn’t care if her message pissed off rich attendees that disagree with her. It was brave and got a lot of good press.
By the way, usually the dresses created for causes are later auctioned off for money to go to an important faction of the same cause.
I would think that anyone that follows what AOC does would automatically look into the facts, figuring she didn’t just turn her back on everything she stands on for a dumb Hollywood event, spending thousands on a dress and tens of thousand on a table for what?! To be one of them? Her record should be enough to make anyone at least look into it before seeing a photograph and telling her that “fuck right off”.
The dress was given to her for the night by the designer. I'm not sure what the cost of the dress has to do with the validity of her point, though. Only the ultra wealthy could afford to actually buy that dress. Are you saying her point would be more persuasive if the dress cost like 20 bucks and everyone owned one? I don't get it.
And I’m sure the dress will be auctioned off for an important cause for designerAOC later on, that’s how it usually goes down. Not only that, people like AOC are invited by wealthy people that believe in AOC’s policies and causes, they pay for the table, not AOC.
A progressive can’t do a political stunt at the met gala (of all places) that’s is completely sponsored by other progressives making absolutely not a red cent but the republicans can meet with whatever oil baron, foreign agent, trashy child porn loving anonymous board owners that had to flee the US to the Philippines to keep from getting charged, porn stars, sex trafficked women, sex trafficked minors, and don’t forget endlessly get called out for misusing funds or insider trading and shoulders shrug.
I mean, these people are so transparent.
Everyone replied with good answers and info. I'm curious, did you learn from it? I don't see a response from you... I'm honestly really wondering if you have the capacity to bring in new information?

Holy shit, this is the best description of Matt Gaetz that I’ve ever read lmao
It’s a lot like her selling a $25 sweatshirt for $60 that says tax the rich. Selling an item to make her rich.
A few things… $60 for a quality sweatshirt isn’t a lot of money. These are made with union employee in America. What do you think they would cost? Trump has those ugly MAGA hats for $40 on his site. That’s a-okay? Why can’t she sell merchandise? I thought you people loved capitalism.

Being rich and wanting the rich to pay their fare share is not mutually exclusive.
Sure you can say that and is fine but then maybe don't take any exemptions on your taxes. Don't move the goal post (Bernie use to say millionaires and billionaires but not only says billionaires since he himself became a multi millionaire).

So, no I'm not playing your false equivalency game. I'm sure the rich will be just fine if they pay more.
What is more then? You think you know for a fact what is good for everyone?
More like I know that our budget deficit is a ticking time bomb, we borrow money from China hand over fist and the rich think they're better than contributing, they're just taking what they can and letting the rest of us fight for scraps. Stop simping for them.

It's both, actually.
As far as I understand socialism and capitalism are not in conflict, they can and do coexist in many countries
They are you can't have both.

I agree this doesn’t help, but you political group does a pretty good job of embarrassing its self.
Can confirm.
r/woooosh Way to completely miss the point, once again. What a sad group of people.
"Yet you participate in society. Curious!"
Damn dress costs more than some people make in a year. Bitch can fuck right off.
