She's the first lib-dem to come out and honestly say she feels we have an obligation to support those unwilling to work. Many on the right have known this for decades, but of course, up until now, the left has denied, or at least avoided the discussion. AOC has taken the "Bull" by the horns, so to speak. Her "Green New Deal" is chock full of preposterous inanities, but that one is my favorite. The question is, have our indoctrination centers, oopps, I mean Public School systems been effective enough to create enough voters to support such rubbish? If so, the song "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" will take on a whole new meaning.
The new "Socialism" is not Socialism. It's a group of people who want others to pay their bills.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has released additional details about the “Green New Deal” she has proposed. Especially significant is the suggestion that taxpayers must guarantee economic security to those who are able but “unwilling to work.”
Nancy "We'll have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" Pelosi said.. This green deal, they don't know what's in it, but they're for it, right? <G>
And AOC has taken down portions of her Green Deal Web Page and gone into hiding after getting roasted from all sides.
This promises to be an epically entertaining day folks :-)
AOC IS the future of the demunist party, but she's ahead of her time. It's probably too soon to announce the "inalienable right" to be supported when you are unwilling to work.
The American Enterprise Institute is an organization made up of radical far right wing wackos, for radical far right wing wackos. You can't believe anything they say, unless of course you want to believe it.
mojo are you saying the AEI is not telling the truth by quoting cortez or cortez is not telling the truth?
"radical far right wing wackos".. Translation.. People who are not to the left of me.
MOJO, would you care to deny that AOC said we need to support people who are unwilling to work? I am not asking if you agree or disagree. I think I know the answer to that.
I don't believe that she said or wrote that. Can you provide proof that she did?
It's a; over the place on TV and the Net. If you ever got your nose out of RawStory, you'd see things like that. I'm willing to bet that any source I use, you'll call a 'Right Wing Nut Source" or some such...
Do a search on "Cortez support those unwilling to work" and see how many hits you get.

Post Edit: The "Additional Details" link above was to AOC's Green New Deal page. But it's been taken down.. for some gosh darn reason.
