Ocasio-Cortez makes $174,000 annually with her congressional salary and has used the funds to move into the posh Navy Yard neighborhood in Washington D.C. that, ironically, is also a favorite of President Donald Trump's staffers.

My mother was a socialist when I was growing up and lived at home. She still is. She painted a picture of socialism that sounded good. I definitely was a lefty in college. Extreme.

But stuff like this is why I cannot take socialism seriously. The minute AOC gets to DC, it’s luxury for her.

If she truly was a working class champion, she’d live somewhere less expensive and donate or help the poor and downtrodden.

That’s supposed to be the difference between people like her and the rich baddies. But it seems all people want is to feed voters a line, get in office, and then, good times.

Wait a sec. I thought AOC said she was capping all salaries on her senior staff at $80k so she can redistribute the excess to entry-level staffers. Did she mean she was asking everyone earning $100k or more to sacrifice for the lower-earning.....except her??

Sooooooo tyoical. Other people's money.[/quote]

Yes, that's how it works.

not her money . . .  b/c we're paying her salaries

Those with experience will not be compensated for their skill set.  They will have to shift monies around to increase the bottom wage to $50K+. [/quote]

Oh my God. You are such idiots.  Her salary is her salary, and her office budget is her office budget.  It's two entirely different things or "pots of money," and every Rep or Senator gets a budget for staff.  And all of those budgets are other people's money, dums dums.

Her staff didn't have to accept the terms of her job offer.  If they want to make more, they can go elsewhere.[/quote]
