From the BBC, “Should politicians know the price of a pint of milk?”
But it’s not the price of the new fighter jet or flagship hospital – instead it’s a stamp, a loaf of bread or, most of all, a pint of milk. In 1992, US President George H W Bush, was forced to admit he did not know how much a gallon of milk cost during a debate with Bill Clinton and Ross Perot.
He’s fresh out of ‘Unicorn Juice’ and ‘Magical Thinking’, too.
Senator. Maybe Mr. Snyder pays the 'right' amount of taxes, or maybe not, but the snarky, self-serving, self-righteousness of saying "I'm pretty sure he can pay my new tax" is beneath dignity. Furthermore, letting you decide how to spend his money is even more problematic.

Americans For Tax Reform report that the “Ocasio-Cortez Tax Plan Creates 82.7% Top Income Tax Rate for New Yorkers.” Whoa! Let’s see how many good New York and California (83.30% tax) liberals jump on that train to nowhere.
The current top federal income tax rate is 37 percent, so the Ocasio-Cortez plan will nearly double the tax rate for the top bracket.
New York State has a top income tax rate of 8.82 percent while New York City has a top rate of 3.876 percent. So under this proposal, her constituents would pay a top combined income tax rate of 82.7 percent:
Federal income tax rate: 70.0%
NY state income tax rate: 8.82%
NYC income tax rate: 3.876%
TOTAL: 82.696%New Yorkers would not be the only ones suffering under the Ocasio-Cortez plan. California taxpayers would pay a top rate of 83.3 percent (70 percent plus the California rate of 13.30 percent).
In addition to this high income tax rate, taxpayers would remain impacted by other taxes including payroll taxes, taxes on capital gains income and dividends, and the death tax.
Bernie “The Socialist Claws” Sanders and his Merry Imp, Alexandria, are coming for your stuff.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to unleash the powers of the government subpoena on Donald Trump Jr. because he posted a meme critical of part of her socialist dogma – the ‘eat the dogma’ part, methinks. From The DailyWire, “Ocasio-Cortez Threatens To Retaliate Against Trump Jr. Over Meme, Twitter Explodes With Accusations Of Ethics Violations.”
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to use the powers of her elected office to retaliate against Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president’s son posted a meme trolling her on his personal Instagram account.
“I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.”
“Have fun.” She then says.
OK, then. Just for fun. Here’s a few more of our favorite AOC-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez memes.
