You hate freeways and want to privatize every road in America and erect toll booths everywhere? How about eliminating public schools as well. Cant pay $40 000 a year per child for school? Sorry, no school for the child.

I urge you to campaign on these issues while taking bribe money from Wall Street, and see how far you'll get.

It is who he is. He's even bragged about buying off politicians before.

To quote Margaret Thatcher ;

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

Speaking of money from Wall Street . Obama and Hillary took a lot of it .

Yes, corrupt democrats are part of the problem of course. So since you dont answer, I take it that you are against freeways, public schools and Medicare? You want to eliminate it and transfer the money to Wall Street?

The question we have to ask ourselves is; Do we have the guts to take on the ruling elite in this country? At least one person did just that and won a nice victory.

Didn’t say I want to get rid of them , we spend way more on them than we need to though due to waste, corruption etc .
Dems should agree with this too .

I don’t think we should be paying so much to education kids here illegally . Their home countries should be doing it.
Also is it fair that DACA kids get in state tuition but American born kids have to pay more if they go to college of state ?

I think free college for everyone isn’t a good idea , give grants and loans like we have and find ways to make it more affordable but when something is totally free then people don’t appreciate it . The drop out rate would be even higher than it already is.

Freeways, public schools and Medicare is free stuff. It is paid for by taxes, just like a national health care system, tuition free trade schools and stronger retirement security for our elderly and a safety net for the disabled would be.

We know that Wall Street and their puppets hate it. They will always say we cant afford anything except massive tax breaks for the ruling class, skyrocketing military budgets and bailouts for Wall Street. Thats all we can afford in the richest country in the world.

But not everyone buys into this and some are willing to take on the ruling class who has such tremendous power in this country. And they should be commended for their guts even though they upset Wall Street.

Good point about taxes . I’m guessing many of her supporters don’t pay them too . It’s the wealthy that pay most of the taxes . In California the 1 percent pay almost half of all the taxes.
I’m sure she is for open borders and having us pay for illegal immigrants too right , guess the billions we spend already isn’t enough ..,


So this young lady is going to take down Wall Street ? What are her plans to do that ?
I’m curious .

As inequality increases rapidly, more and more of the nation's income will go to the top 0.1%, who will then pay more of the taxes as well. That's natural when labor unions are crushed and anti-trust legislation no longer is enforced. The question is if we think this is acceptable? You bring up third world immigration, but it is precisely a tiny elite ruling over the masses in poverty that people escape from. Oligarchy simply doesnt work for ordinary people. Why should we model ourselves after Mexico?

Do we have the guts to challenge the ruling Wall Street elite? This young lady does not accept that workers should simply bend to the will of the ruling donor class. The first thing we must do to start making a democracy and economy that works for everyone is to get big money out of politics and rebuild the labor union movement. She is doing just that.
