"Capitalism isn’t so bad after all!

Firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come up with a new campaign money-maker: Sell the rich expensive sweatshirts — about taxing the rich.

The Democratic socialist lawmaker’s website is now selling a bunch of pricey apparel with trendy slogans like “Abolish ICE,” “Drink water & don’t be racist” and “Tax the rich.”

The line of merchandise caught the eye of pundits on Twitter who pointed out the hypocrisy of an anti-capitalism legislator coming up with their own clothing line.

“AOC is selling $65 dollar sweatshirts that say ‘tax the rich’ that only rich ppl can afford. Should just say ‘Tax Me,'” wrote user @MattsIdeaShop on Wednesday with a photo of the “Tax the rich” top.

“When you’re aiming for socialism but you hit capitalism,” they added.

Another pundit noted that the 31-year-old progressive icon and “Squad” leader was also a member of the wealthy class given her six-figure congressional income.

“Only the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt,” added Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro.

Among the swag up for grabs is a Green New Deal organic baby onesie for $25, a $28 “abolish ICE” cap and a Green New Deal dog collar for $17.

The proceeds from the apparel don’t go to a charity, but Ocasio-Cortez’s political machine, with a disclaimer on the website warning “Purchases are campaign contributions.”

It appears the price of the USA-made sweatshirt has since been reduced and is now $58."

 
"HEY! I called her a communist and other names! How DARE she raise campaign funds!"

:rolleyes:




Blinkered mouth-breathing idiocy. Ah well. I'm sure our insightful righties in this thread will agree that if AOC represents the entire left, this guy represents the entire right:

The man who drove his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Va., killing one person and injuring 35 has been sentenced to spending the rest of his life in prison. A federal judge issued the sentence of life without the possibility of parole on Friday for self-proclaimed neo-Nazi James Fields Jr., 22, of the Toledo, Ohio, area. The judge's punishment, announced in a Charlottesville courtroom, came after numerous survivors delivered emotional testimony about the psychological and physical toll the attack caused. After the hearing, prosecutors described the 2017 attack as heinous.

"It was cold-blooded. It was motivated by deep-seated racial animus," Thomas Cullen, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Virginia, told reporters. He said Fields' lethal car-plowing was calculated, calling it "a hate-inspired act of domestic terrorism."







Fair's fair.

When can we expect you to get a handle on dyslexia? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is AOC not OAC.

It does not surprise me that the Ohio Athletic Conference supports capitalism. Or maybe you were talking about the Ontario Arts Council?

That changes everything. I guess she isn't a hypocrite after all because I got her initials wrong.

It is only people who get their news from questionable places who think AOC is anti-capitalist. She fights for the working class. She fights for a society that looks after its citizens. She fights for a just society. You can do all of these things under capitalism. Take a look at just about every other western democracy.

She believes America can do better. Many in America feel that it is just too hard. Congress could use more like her. America needs fighters in government, fighters who fight for people, we have too many who fight for the corporate welfare bums.
 
Isn't that what a Made in USA sweatshirt is gonna cost?

Or, you could spend about the same, for a slave labor produced Trump shirt.

Can't miss the point by a hell of a lot more than that....
 
"...pointed out the hypocrisy of an anti-capitalism legislator coming up with their own clothing line."

Explain the hypocrisy of an "anti-capitalism" legislator raising money, with promotional items, for her cause.

Was that made in Asia like all the other Trump shit?
 
I'm sure it was, as it doesn't claim otherwise. There is a sweatshirt offered on the same site that specifically says "Made in America". Guess how much that goes for. $80.

But, you know...AOC!

Trump supporters are so stupid. They toss their underpants at a man who pretends to be "America First" yet refused to ever open a factory here to make his cheap tack shit.
 
Is OAC related to AOC? If so, we need to know what she had for breakfast daily. At least two threads about it.

I hope it was a light breakfast.

I had a bagel. I hope that OAC stuck to special k and a small OJ.
 
It's illegal to **** a retard.
so Griz, you and every other conservative here really do hate AOC. Obediently so I might add. But can you actually make an honest case to call her dumb. Remember, the people telling you to hate her are the same people who told you President Obama was born in Kenya, his BC a forgery, he wants to kill old people and republicans really really really want to lower the deficit if not balance the budget. Oh and since you've been here since 2011 remember how you and yours foamed at the mouth about stimulus. Notiice how you love it now? Anyhoo, if you could elaborate on your obedient hatred, I would appreciated it.
