Braindead commie Cortez seems to think people making over $600,000 a year should pay their "fair share", which is 70%. If she and her fellow commie leftists get their way, people would lose their homes and businesses because they wouldn't have enough money left to maintain their property.
She also wants to make it law that we are only using renewable energy in 12 years. Keep in mind, this has yet to be discovered/invented so I guess we would likely freeze to death and have no vehicles to drive to work because it would be illegal to use anything other than this yet-to-be-invented energy source.
Scary part is that she has supporters and even the leftist media treat her as if she should be taken seriously.
And when the rich decide to just retire because it's not worth working for a small percent of what they make, what will happen then? You guessed it, the money runs out. Then it's time for a real dictatorship, where they confiscate all the money in the banks and properties. If feds take 70% and states continue to take more, there won't be much left for the people who actually earned the money.
And, of course, no intent for government to cut spending. At least not their spending. The people will be forced to cut spending because they won't have any money to spend. Many wouldn't have enough to keep up the lifestyle they earned for themselves.
This is the new Dem party, folks. The extremists took over and the remaining ones are going along with this shit.
Add to that the fact that they want to eliminate electoral voting and we are headed straight for tyranny.

They have a very Unique way of categorizing the 100 percent claim since none of those systems can function as standalone without a live grid behind them.
