Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is on fire these days. When she opens mouth, she sinks Democrats.
Could not ask for a better ambassador for the Democrat Socialists.
In her political career, who lasts only a couple of months, Ocasio-Cortez has become known for making completely false statements, lying, and having a hard time understanding basic concepts and principles.
In a tweet on March 13, Ocasio-Cortez was arguing about an increase in lawmakers salary.
Ocasio-Cortez said that “raising staffer pay helps get money out of politics” and that increasing the salaries for members of Congress could do the same.
“Members are paid more than avg – but job reqs 2 residences + we can’t take tax deductions for work costs,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “No one wants to be the one to bring up increases, so instead ppl take advantage of insider trading loopholes & don’t close them for the extra cash.”
But a new poll conducted by Business Insider revealed the opposite:
55% of respondents want congressional salaries to be cut. These people agreed with the statement, “I think that generally legislators are paid too much given the work they do, and their salaries should be cut or curtailed until their performance improves.”
17% of respondents thought congressional salaries were just right. These people agreed with the statement, “I think the annual salary paid to Congress is just fine where it is.”
9% of respondents want to increase congressional salaries. These people agreed with the statement, “Increasing the pay of members of Congress make them less susceptible to corruption by ensuring they’re financially secure and don’t need to abuse their office to make ends meet.”
Nineteen percent of respondents were unsure or did not feel that any statement represented their view.
Her statement only lead to Democrats losing even more votes so it’s a one thing she does good for our country!
