AOC Flunks Economics 101

[danielpalos]

the right wing is worse.

of course it is.

tell me who on the right is demanding we stop eating cows, having kids, and that we rebuild our houses and get rid of airlines by 2029?

we have no immigration clause or wall building clause. and tax cut economics are Worthless if they don't balance the budget.

so - no one. no one on the right is suggesting such stupidity.

got it.

tax cut economics are worthless if they don't balance the budget.

as are your answers which never address the question.

the right wing is worse.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I know enough to know you both have no clue in this regard. Those who have the education and experience able to readily spot those who do not.

Brilliant economists often work as bartenders...…..

A trained economist nonetheless. You are not.

she damn sure knows how to launder money.

i do not.

she damn sure knows how to launder money.

i do not.

That would be an accountant, dope.
You've shown quite clearly what you do not know.

she still did it now didn't she?

dope.

Not at all, dope.

"Trained"....LMFAO!....She was "trained" in writing down the correct answers to please her professors....You can train a monkey to do that, which is apropos.

"Trained"....LMFAO!....She was "trained" in writing down the correct answers to please her professors....You can train a monkey to do that, which is apropos.

Yes. Formal university training. The same formal training any professional receives in their desired discipline. Something you obviously have never experienced.

I received formal training in something useful and creative: the trades, loser.

Great. Stick to your lane.

Pound sand up your ass, moonbat.

Is that your trade, loser?

[Redfish]

She has "education" yet doesn't know diddly-shit...If she was so smart, how did her econ degree not land her a big time job, other than being an over-educated bartender?

She chose to run for congress, dope.

Oooooo....That really takes some serious intellectual horsepower!

Which of course does not change the fact that she is inderd an economist operating at a level you will never acheive.

What it doesn't change is that she's an over-educated imbecile, who managed to get elected in a district where the only real requirement for winning is having a (D) by your name.

Great. Meanwhile, she's got you twisted in knots while you have zero effect on her. Nice job.

the idiot girl is a constant source of amusement. Each stupid statement is further proof the her only qualification might be shaking a martini while shaking her boobs.

Marc Thiessen: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an economic illiterate -- And that's bad news for America

"The left complains that conservatives are "obsessing" over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Well, there is a reason for that: Ocasio-Cortez is driving the agenda of today's Democratic Party -- and her economic illiteracy is dangerous.

Case in point: Last week, Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the tanking of a deal negotiated by her fellow Democrats in which Amazonpromised to build a new headquarters in Long Island City, New York, right next to her congressional district. Amazon's departure cost the city between 25,000 and 40,000 new jobs. Forget the tech workers whom Amazon would have employed. Gone are all the unionized construction jobs to build the headquarters, as well as thousands of jobs created by all the small businesses -- restaurants, bodegas, dry cleaners and food carts -- that were preparing to open or expand to serve Amazon employees. They are devastated by Amazon's withdrawal.

Ocasio-Cortez was not disturbed at all. "We were subsidizing those jobs," she said. "Frankly, if we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district, ourselves, if we wanted to. We could hire out more teachers. We can fix our subways. We can put a lot of people to work for that amount of money if we wanted to."

No, you can't. Ocasio-Cortez does not seem to realize that New York does not have $3 billion in cash sitting around waiting to be spent on her socialist dreams. The subsidies to Amazon were tax incentives, not cash payouts. It is Amazon's money, which New York agreed to make tax-exempt, so the company would invest it in building its new headquarters, hiring new workers and generating tens of billions in new tax revenue."

You can't fix her Socialist type of 'stupid'.

.

First, nobody who thinks tariffs are a good idea has a leg to stand on criticising anyone else's understanding of economics, and don't even get me started on the trickle down myth.

Second, NYC was gonna give them $3 billion in tax breaks. It would have taken them many decades to recoup that investment if they ever did.

It was a bad deal. You can't buy jobs, just like you can't spend your way outta debt.

Yeah, 3 Billion in tax breaks but NYC would be collecting taxes still that they would otherwise not be collecting.
From Amazon. Now they will be getting none of that money..... thats not a recipe to get out of debt either by chasing away tax revenue.

Like?

Amazon Headquarters?

Don't be deliberately thick.
Taxes they would otherwise be collecting like?

So you're telling us you have no idea what state and local taxes businesses pay?

 

[danielpalos]

They got Google, instead.

/——/ Corporations pass taxes on to the consumer you moron.

/——/ Corporations pass taxes on to the consumer you moron.

Corporations would not even exist without their government charter.
Corporations use the courts far more than the average individual; they should pay the cost for that privilege.
Transnational corporation rely on the US Navy to protect their sham "free trade" economy.

In the 1950s, the corporate income tax was 25% of federal outlay. It is now about 5%. If you compared all corporate income tax paid to all corporate welfare (like Foxconn and Amazon), the aggregate would likely be zero tax paid.

That puts the burden on wage labor, which is exactly what both major political parties have been doing over the last five decades.

Who got rich from that?

/——-/ Nice attempt to dodge the question and change the subject. I repeat, corporations pass taxes onto the consumer ——in the form of higher prices.

/——-/ Nice attempt to dodge the question and change the subject. I repeat, corporations pass taxes onto the consumer ——in the form of higher prices

So consumers pay corporations a few dollars more for goods and services they buy.

What do they receive in exchange?

Lower taxes.

More public services.

Rich citizens, natural and artificial, don't need more wealth.

They need to pay their fair share of society's opportunity costs.

/——-/ I already pay enough for stuff. If you feel so guilty, then write a check to the Treasury Dept every week to pay down the debt.

Can Amazon make the same claim?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-p...st-year/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.9dd73781d7bb

/——/ I bet they pay more than you do in taxes. The company, in its latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, said that it paid $177 million in income taxes in 2014, $273 million in 2015 and $412 million last year.

 

[Cecilie1200]

generating tens of billions in new tax revenue.

You are an idiot if you buy that bullshit.

/——/ Stop making excuses for the moron AOC. NY lost out big time.

Facts are facts - there is no way in hell NY would see "tens of billions" in taxes from this deal, thats just bullshit.

/——/ Not in one year, everything was based on 25 years. Are you totally clueless?

Hey clueless, Amazon will be looking for more tax-breaks as soon as 3 billion is up and someone else is offering up billions in tax credits for them to move. No way in hell they are paying much of anything.

Hey, clueless. Only a fool like you thinks that Amazon somehow makes money by moving every few years and having to set up completely new infrastructure in a different state.

Accusing someone better credentialed than yourself of being dumb is dumb as shit.

Slavishly worshipping people because they have degrees not only makes you dumber than shit, it makes you really pathetic and sad.

Omg I’m embarrassed for your dumb ass. Just because she has a bachelors in economics doesn’t make her an economist. How stupid are you?

It doesn't? What does?

No it doesn’t. You need to be hired as an economist and you won’t be hired unless you have a masters is economics. The only job Cortez has ever had is bartending

Really?

What is an Economist
An economist is an expert who studies the relationship between a society's resources and its production or output. The societies studied may range from the smallest of local communities to an entire nation or even the global economy.


The expert opinions and research findings of an economist are used to help shape a wide variety of policies, including interest rates, tax laws, employment programs, international trade agreements and corporate strategies.

Economist


She is a trained economist using her expert opinions to shape policy.

You are just a moron with a dopey, wrongheaded opinion.

She’s not an economist you idiot. Link to anywhere it says that all you need is a BA in economics to be considered an economist. You’re making yourself look like a fool.
