The Staggering Stupidity of AOC

Unlike some moonbats, at least AOC has an excuse: she is dumb — not just a little slow, but stupid to point of cognitive disability. She made this obvious once again while crowing with delight that her fellow leftists managed to drive Amazon out of New York, costing the city an estimated $27.5 billion in tax revenues. Squeaks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

You know, I think it’s really important that we understand that we need to invest in our economy, but we need to invest in our people, and to give away $3 billion to a company that has a history of worker exploitation that’s paying below what the cost of New York City is not acceptable for us. …

I firmly believe that if we want to take that $3 billion dollars that we were willing to give to Amazon and invest it in our local community, we can do that. We can make those jobs. We can make 25,000 jobs. But we don’t have to give away and allow our subway system to crumble so that Amazon essentially owns a part of New York City. We can create 25,000 jobs with Mom-and-Pops; we can create 25,000 jobs with companies that are willing to come to the table, but we should not be giving away our infrastructure, our subway system, our schools, our teachers’ salaries, our firefighters’ budgets, to a company that has not shown good faith to New Yorkers. And we can ask for more because we deserve more.

Only Marxist indoctrination could explain pathologically greedy smash-and-grab looters like AOC thinking they “deserve” other people’s money.

The $3 billion refers to tax breaks — i.e., money New York agreed not to confiscate from Amazon if it built a second headquarters in Queens. Creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs obviously would have been a net gain to New York financially. Yet AOC believes that New York can now cash a check for the $3 billion of tax relief — tax on theoretical revenue that her fellow leftists did not allow to exist.

This cretin holds a degree in economics from outlandishly expensive Boston University. Obviously that degree was bestowed upon her on some basis other than her comprehension of basic economic principles. The school’s accreditation should be reviewed.
