At least corruptocrat Biden spreads the ill-gotten wealth around to his family, not so with the likes of AOC.

I'm pretty sure I heard AOC whining that Trump didn't give her grandmother a handout to fix her shack.

Hypocrite of course.

Government handouts good.

Private charity handouts bad.

It’s not Obama’s job to take care of his brother.

Just like it’s not mine to take care of my siblings.

Just like it’s not yours to take care of yours; and the probability is you don’t even if they need.

And what is the average salary of her congressional district’s constituents? It’s under $60,000.



Yup, it is the same way in Cuba, Venezuela, China ___ those in charge live large on the taxpayer's dime, just as our beloved Nancy Pelosi who enjoys boasting on national TV about her luxuries of life while living in her gated community.

The right-wing, for some reason, doesn't believe in it. They seem to think true success is inherited - like Bush and Trump.

AOC is not working very hard to confiscate the fruits of working people [their earn wages] and personally enjoying those "fruits".

Well… it’s probably not. It’s more likely tens of thousands.

And it’s not even meant to defend aoc personally. Not a big fan of her myself. Just get tired of all these hypocrites acting like they’d do different. Most of you couldn’t afford to fix your own homes in the event of something like this; you’re definelty not lining up to fix others.
How do you know whether anonymous posters can or cannot afford to fix their house?
You can't.

What's the point of embarrassing yourself by making crap up?

You have good precedent before you in thinking that.

"Am I my brother's keeper?" said Cain to God.

This is a perfect example of the mind of the modern socialist. Forever in history it was considered the family's job to take care of its own. "Charity begins at home."

The extended family lived on one farm and everybody on the farm took care of everybody else on the farm. As grandpa slowed down, he did the little he could while being housed and fed by his son and grandsons. When sons came of age and married, they were given a plot of their own to work on the family farm, to raise their own children and support their family.

Only a modern socialist would kick grandpa off the farm and drop him off at the feet of government to be provided for.

It has always throughout history been the JOB of family to help each other. Always. Until FDR came along and changed it all. Before WWII it was ALWAYS the job of the familly, and every family member knew they had a moral duty to take care of family, except for the few bad sheep that were impossible to keep out of trouble.

Witness the mind of the modern socialist who thinks it is government's job to care for members of your family and you have no moral responsbility to do so.

Rightwing blogger launches gofundme for AOC's Puerto Rico grandmother in latest personal attack

raising money for o'crazio's poor granny is a personal 'attack'

She brought that hate to herself. She lied about living in the Bronx when she was living in a high income area in Yorktown Heights, Her parents owned a condo and a home. Her father was a business owner, etc. Yet, AOC tried to play the poor kid living in the tough parts of the Bronx.

She makes $174K and doesn't want to do it either so what was the point in showing her followers it so they can fix it? Politicians need to start walking the walk. There was no point in showing pics of her abuela's home.
