AOC ramps up rhetoric on wages, says we cannot continue to allow people to be paid 'less than they need'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., indicated on Monday that she will push for workers to get paid as much as "they need," without specifying what the amount would be.
“What we are fighting against -- what we are fighting against is a logic that says it is ok to pay someone less than they need to live, and we are here to say no more," she said during an event promoting her "Green New Deal."
Produce according to ability, receive according to need.
Seems like we've heard this line before. Let me see...Perhaps Karl Marx. Wonder what Ms Rand would say to AOC.

CUT the pay of politicians, judges, bureaucrats and other deadwood union holdovers that can't be fired by 97%
Yeah, being paid more is just swell until lay-offs begin or the company goes under, taking every last single job to be had with it.
(Not to be confused with the latest overly emotional accusation justice mob.)
Include me out.

Sounds like AOC has big plans, using the 20th Century Motor Company$ as a model.

It's ironic that Rep Ocasio-Cortez condemned Former VP Biden for supposedly being tepid on the environment. By wrapping socialistic policies in a big green bow, she's undermining efforts to protect the environment.
Biden is right seek a middle ground. It's hard to quantify the costs of human activities that contribute to global warming. We know a large portion of global warming is caused by human activities, but we don't know exactly how much. We know global warming will be costly, but we don't know the price tag. Even if we knew, it's hard to quantify the future value costs borne today to mitigate it. So it is a complex problem with a middle ground. If we pick some reasonable number that represents the average cost of activities that contribute to the greenhouse effect, the problem will likely solve itself. If we tie proposed solution to socialism, we'll pay a double cost of socialism plus the cost of reducing greenhouse emission plus possible costs of the environmental efforts not working because they were created with an intrusive-gov't mindset.
