Socialism

Ocasio-Cortez on Socialist-democrat philosophy. It’s “the basic belief” that “in a moral and wealthy America no person should be too poor to live in this country.”

Sounds a lot like the same old redistribution of wealth Obama ran on.

“From each according his ability to each according to his needs.” - Karl Marx

IOW, take from the wealthy and give to the poor. The problem is, capitalism is the reason those rich people became rich in the first place!

The idea that these share the wealth idea is even being discussed is disconcerting. The libs in the media made a national hero out of Ocasio-Cortez who received 15,897 votes in the Bronx. Dems don't know what to do about this rising star. I've actually read she is being viewed at the "next Obama". She seems to be dragging the democrats to the extreme left. The head of the DNC, Perez, said she is "the future of the democrat party". Yikes!

My belief is, "To each according his ability and hard work. Period."

My step father, a HS drop out, came from the poorest of poor families in Georgia. He learned roofing and eventually had is over very successful roofing business. He epitomized 'working class middle America'.

I think the DNC is on a very slippery slope and are in need of a leader who can rein in the far left and unite the party. Right now it seems the only thing the democrats agree on is hating Trump and fearing/blaming the Russians but I don't know if that message alone is going to help they regain power.....at least not when the economy is doing so well.
