AOL. COM ; Notch another victory for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The freshman Democratic representative celebrated online retailer Amazon’s decision Thursday to scrap its plans to build a new headquarters in her New York City district.
“I think it’s incredible,” Ocasio-Cortez responded when asked to comment on Amazon’s about-face. “It shows that everyday Americans still have the power to organize and fight for their communities and they can have more say in this country than the richest man in the world.”
Editor: Once again, this moron of a politician takes credit for something that is neither a victory for the working man nor, anything related to a well thought out victory.
Here is what just happened in New York: Amazon decided to forego its decision to build one of its headquarters in that city. The loss to New York is mindboggling. 25,000 jobs will be lost PLUS another 80,000 support jobs, all in the city . . . . more than half of these jobs paying more than $150,000 annually; all of the jobs paying $100,000 annually. The 3 billion in property tax credits would have returned 27 billion in increased property evaluations over the next 15 years not to mention 11.5 billion in purchasing power added to the city coffers . . . so if Cortez and company want to brag about that kind of victory, let them.
I have claimed for years and years, that the Left is where it is today, because of a very specific mental illness . . . . . and this victory proves my point.
