Jog, the reason why people find what she said to be a sensible comment is because they have the mindset that the government is automatically entitled to an individual or corporation's property, in this case a percentage of their revenue. I also think they consider economics to be a zero sum gain, that money is not created but rather is a fixed amount. If Amazon wins, NY loses.

All of us work for a wealthy person or family. The family that owns the company I work for owns their own island with 7 houses on it. As far as I know, they sleep on mattresses stuffed with hundred dollar bills that I helped make for them. But I don't feel like I or the government has claim on anything more than a reasonable level of tax, much lower than what we do now for that matter.

I don't know if it was this foolish woman ran Amazon off all by herself, I doubt that. But she certainly played a part and represents a New York ideology that any company should think twice about. One reason the economy surged after Trump is because they felt he was going to improve the climate for doing business, and he did.

Yes, liberals like AOC cost NY millions in economic activity that was never generated. And for this, somehow she's celebrated as a hero.

 On the surface that makes a lot of sense to people.  
Don't give money to greedy corporations, invest it in local business.

Today, that is exactaly what a generation now believes.
Because the, 'Dumbing down', is working.

Oversimplification of content, exactaly what today's, 'teachers' are taught to teach.
Or what today's, 'teachers' simply don't know, because they themselves, are the result of earlier, 'Dumbing down'.

40 + years ago, AOC would not have had a chance in H ell of winning.
20 Years ago AOC, would have had more votes, but still not won.
Today a dirty glass, with a 'D' on it can win, (in that district)

The 'Dumbing down' is a fixed thing, all across the political spectrum.
(Twice a year, I teach a class , 12-14 ave., on a very specific subject, as a volunteer.
In the last 38 years I have SEEN, the absolute, complete, 'Dumbing down'.
Most of these kids, TODAY, do NOT, know the meaning of the words: Ethics, Predication, Conservation, Preservation, Skill, Responsibility, Management, and their are many others)
38 to 30 years ago, they DID !

Here is the question:
Is AOC, Deliberately talking really stupid,
believing/KNOWING, other stupid people will follow.
(Just the same as the Trump Haters say he is doing)

Or is AOC, REALLY, that Stupid ?

Does, 'Dumbing down', benefit, Ultra Liberal Fairy Dust Sprinkling Socialists?
OR
Does, 'Dumbing down', benefit, Conservative, ADULTS, (From all parties),

Trump is President,... stupid is redefined.

So you believe, AOC is not, Really Stupid ?

In a lot of ways, she's exactly like Trump, a mirror image. That's why she's attracting strong support for and strong against. If she has a good support staff that can navigate around all the obstacles that she creates (like this Amazon fiasco) and those from the outside, I predict she'll be Speaker and maybe even President. I also predict she'll be the one who orders my arrest,  imprisonment and perhaps execution for refusing to yield everything I am to The State. That's what socialist dictators end up doing to those who cling to freedom.

Your TDS is disrupting your logic. You’ve know the name Donald Trump for decades. He’s brilliant in his own way as is she.

The question is who is more likely to turn into a violent leader? She is.

She's a lot like neither...
...and she's ten times smarter than Trump... (make that a hundred).

Can’t you see, AOC is just a fantasy ?

Can’t you see that AOC is not at all, ‘right’, for the Job?

She is NOT, a polished Politician, she  is a bartender and a failed, wanna be dancer.

She does NOT Learn/Study about topics, before she opens her, C ock holster, and spews forth.

Their are so many members of her OWN Party, that Hate her !

Her hands are to small, she dies her hair, she has to shave her mustache, …, …, …,
(and on and on and on)

And if you can’t see that,
If YOU do not agree with me,
than YOU clearly are a:
…,  …,  …,  …,  …,  …,  …, …, !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh look,... Deplorable vs adorable..  

Yep, that view of her, ‘C ock holster', is working,
Just like she planned !

..and that is true BS...
You can hate her all you want,.. and there are many things you could point to that might be at least arguable...
MORE VIOLENT?....  can't be more absurd.

Trump is the first 6ft man I've ever seen with a Napoleon complex.
(Must be the questionable weenie)...  
OAC will have no such problem.

Don't go on about it,.. Trump already has a complex about not needing a holster...
