The govt doesn&#8217;t produce any product or service, it takes in taxes to pay for all the free stuff she calls guaranteed universality. That means YOU the taxpayer, more specifically middle class, will be burdened with footing the bill for all this free stuff AOC and the Leftist radicals are promising their supporters and potential voters. They prey on the uninformed and lazy for power.<\/p>\n<p>Btw who in the hell came up with this because it sounds galactically stupid? Do these Leftist hold focus groups on every narrative they push to see what words\/ phrases work or not? It will also be galactically stupid if registered republicans do not get out to vote in 2020 at record.. HISTORIC numbers to put an end to these monsters.
