AOC Gives Her Definition of Capitalism

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yes. Lots of chances for employers to deprive their employees of what they’re owed. In theory there are mechanisms to correct it, but in practice that’s just not how it works. The process of correcting it can be more costly than the offense. A lot of times the employees don’t even know they’re being screwed.

Employers are not your friend.

My employers are not supposed to be my friend. That's what I have other friends for. If your employer is ripping you off you take them to court, and in most cases it's such a small amount it can be settled in small claims court. Generally if there is something amiss about your paycheck it's usually just an error by the payroll company which most industry uses. My fellow employees had mistakes on their earnings all the time but it had nothing to do with the owner, and he's switched payroll companies a number of times.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said capitalism is 'not a redeemable system' for Americans and represents a 'pursuit of profit' with disregard for any human, environment and social consequences run by an elite minority.

The New York democratic socialist slammed the US economy during an interview with Yahoo Finance's Andy Serwer on Thursday, explaining that it was controlled by a small group of capitalists who make money and 'don't have to work.'

'They can control our labor. They can control massive markets that they dictate and can capture governments,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, said.


'And they can essentially have power over the many. And to me that is not a redeemable system for us to be able to participate in for the prosperity and peace for the vast majority of people.'

AOC is just jealous of capitalists because her net worth is only $100,000.

She could have earned more as a barmaid selling blowjobs in the back alley, and been better at what she does now.

Only left loons take the former barmaid serious

Didn’t she get a few million from some Netflix deal? I’m sure she’s made some million by some scumbag Corporations payer her off like they do all Dems.

Of course she has. But being the media darling she is, it's only reported as being 100k.

She's certainly smarter than the 7 times bankrupt conman charlatan you voted for.

How would you know who I voted for, bitch?

She is just another stupid anti-american bitch like you.

Not hardly. She's dumber than a bag of dicks.

How "smart" would one be to believe that socialism has only failed because we haven't tried it here?

 

[occupied]

So the economy is not controlled by an elite group of very rich men for their own benefit? If the right loves capitalism so much they should work to save it from the oligarchs rather than collaborating with them.

 

[DukeU]

I'll believe she hates Capitalism when she gives up all of her things she acquired through Capitalistic transactions and lives off the land.

Trump owns over 500 companies---6 filed for bankruptcy PROTECTION which doesn't mean that he was personally bankrupt. Do you understand what bankrupcy and bankrupcy protections even are?

 

[task0778]

AOC's ignorance is truly mind-boggling. To say capitalism does not benefit the vast majority of Americans, does she think socialism is a better economic model?

 

[Hossfly]

Yet she was elected with a overwhelming majority in her district

Let's see how she does in November. Even in her Socialist district.

I think she just got reelected last November.

Employers are not your friend.

But you believe government is your friend?

 

[bripat9643]

It’s almost never caught.

What a moron. The employer's employees turn them in, moron. It's virtually impossible to get away with.

 

[struth]

So you lie to your clients so they like you. If your clients don’t have money, find new clients who do have money.

They’re not responsive to the people. They’re responsive to the people’s money.

no i don’t lie to my clients. Clients talk…my reputation matters for more clients

cerainly their money matters to me, i want it and get it and more of it by providing good products, and services

there are businesses i don’t go to because they lack those things, i tell my friends of my experience, they tell their friends etc
