Why the Democrat Leadership, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, embrace socialism

Erp, Nope. Went right over your head.

Do you have a problem with what I stated or do you think Congress shouldn’t have to feel the repercussions or financial burden of what they legislate?

Congress people are above the American people?

Why the Republican Leadership embrace Hate?

Its all they got to run on

What “repercussions” are you referring to?

Did you suffer any “repercussions”?

Or are you outraged on someone else’s behalf?

In terms of health insurance? Of course not.

I have better health insurance than Congress does. I’m an “American People”.

Do you have a “Bronze” plan? What insurance do you have?

They got a 2.5% raise? Wow!

Absolutely to infinity and beyond. There is no way they can understand what the repercussions are of what they do unless they have to live and experience it themselves. If they can circumvent then they cannot truly connect. Then we all lose, do we not?

It becomes the elite and privileged vs. just anyone.

If they have to be…just anyone…then they will know from the pain of it how to fix it.

If they don’t have to, then why should they care?

Then why do you vote for them?

I don’t care about “you”.

What I care about is that Congress has the lowest common denominator so that THEY can feel and experience the financial implications of what they perpetrate on the American people.

I’m cool with my healthcare. I feel no repercussions. Sorry you are feeling repercussions.

Why the heck do you assume who I voted for?

Is that the end all of what you have to fall back on? Disregard that I am against elitism and that our Congress people should live up to the same standards they impose on those who voted for them…

But, hey. Who did you VOTE for is the question of the day. Who cares?

Dude. We ARE Americans. “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”

You need to think on what that means.

What this country has sacrificed to give a taste of freedom to other countries and how so many would give their eye teeth to just have a taste of what we have here that is taken for granted and squandered.

The libs are living in this “globalist” bubble where if we just do what everyone else does we’ll be liked.

It doesn’t work that way. Freedom comes at a major price.

And for the record? Every Congress critter that votes should be subject to the least common denominator. They are not freaking Gods. They need to be reminded that they serve, not that we are their servants.

Again, you claim to speak for “the American people”.

What “financial implications” are you referring to?

And let a Democrat take that seat???

based on what metric?

Based on math.

show this “math”

Ok.

$174,000 x 2.5% (0.025) = $4,300 (the actual raise).

174k based on… ? lol

The point is he doesn’t want anyone messing with his Medicare and Social Security to implement socialism… Oh, wait…

That’s the statutory salary for Members of Congress.

i know.

i ask again. based on…? what?
