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.

It is appalling the level of inculture of this country. Democratic socialism has nothing to do with communism. You can be very rich and be a socialist. Socialism is not about all being poor, but on the contrary, to make the conditions so everyone can live their best life. Its about redistributing wealth, not about not being wealthy.[/quote]

Well, then tell me why my relatives in Italy fly here for medical procedures?  This idea of "best life" only goes so far.  Socialized medicine is fine to address a cold - not so great for cancer.

And socialism isn't so great for producing jobs.

If the US health care system is so great why do people go to Mexico for dental procedures and for prescriptions.

I grew on the US Mexican boarder and saw Americans going to the hospital where my Aunt worked in Juarez.[/quote]

People go to Mexico to have dental work done? Hard pass. It must be to get it done dirt cheap, like plastic surgery. [/quote]
