    So you have your own personal economy that only you speak for? I was speaking for me about my view of our national economy as was obvious to almost everyone....

    Greedy crony corporatism is what we had during the O’Biden regime 2009-20016 and appear to be heading back to with Joe and the Ho.

    When one has nothing really to say against the points being made in an article but still doesn’t like it, one resorts to personal attacks against the article author in lieu of a valid on topic comment

    She's never argued in favor of abolishing capitalism, so where's the contradiction in making money by engaging in capitalist acts? She's always been in favor of people making money by engaging in capitalist acts.

    You ascribe to her a position she doesn't hold and then call her a hypocrite because she doesn't live up to it. It's a Straw Man.

    nope, they did not lower prices when they got their tax cuts, why you think they would raise price when put back to where they were

    if your right then Trump was super stupid to lower them in the first place

    Americans have to have jobs, I am all for taxing foreign outsourcing and foreign imports

    you want to save money with foreign labor, then you pay more tax... simple

    Corporate taxes are a business expense just like any other expense. Someone has to pay for them. It ends up being the consumer.

    She’s pure socialist through and through. If only she and her squad had the power they would make us into the next Venezuela as fast as they could. That’s why all these new women and minority member of the GOP House contingent are forming a pro capitalist freedom force. Many of them having had family backgrounds originating from socialist nations before their parent or grandparent moved here.

    Exactly and lowering the tax rate led to more jobs created here in America and existing workers getting pay increases and bonuses.

    No, she is a Democratic Socialist. These are not the same thing. Words have meaning.

    She claims she wants a mixed economy. She's never claimed that she wants to abolish capitalism or that there's anything wrong with making a buck through capitalist enterprise.

    You are inventing a Straw Man position for her, then calling her a hypocrite for not living up to the imaginary position you invented.

    I'm sure all the tech billionaires bought a few thousand apiece to give out at staff meetings and celebrity parties.
