Under AOCs plan for the green new deal :
-Abolishing air travel for “high speed trains”
-All 100% renewable energy in the us
-No CO2 so that means no CO2 cars etc
-Abolishing cows and meat from the us diet
-Liveable wage to everyone who doesn’t want to work
-Huge tax rates ( as 70% for the rich won’t be able to fund such. 1) since they’ll avoid it all so the real tax rate will be around 30% for the rich, 2) since the money will come from somewhere, every other tax is raised)

2019-02-11 12:18:18 UTC  

-Believes central planners will be able to allocate resources properly (lol)

2019-02-11 12:18:44 UTC  

Oh yeah and abolishing nuclear power

2019-02-11 12:19:31 UTC  

And a whole load of other crap

2019-02-11 12:20:23 UTC  

Lol fuck that. I’m not giving up milk nor steak

2019-02-11 12:20:35 UTC  

The day that happens, I will riot

2019-02-11 12:20:41 UTC  

Yeah

2019-02-11 12:22:03 UTC  

From what I can see, this will cause mass inflation
-The us will be stuck in a huge inflationary spiral
-economic growth will plummet ( probably depression)
-huge job losses
-shortages and famines
-people fleeing country
-collapse in debt

2019-02-11 12:22:39 UTC  

This is all without any other measures being taken to combat such problems , as AOC may impose price controls which will make shortages etc worse

2019-02-11 12:22:49 UTC  

Which is happening in Venezuela currently

2019-02-11 12:23:04 UTC  

Yeah I’d gtfo of America if they ever implement the “New Green Deal” before they made it so you couldn’t leave.

2019-02-11 12:46:56 UTC  

Since when was the ultimate survival of the human race as a species less important than our economy?

2019-02-11 13:08:10 UTC  

Better have your passports

2019-02-11 13:38:21 UTC  

AOC will turn America into Venezuela.

2019-02-11 13:38:45 UTC  

Thank god she is too young to become president.

2019-02-11 13:42:28 UTC  

@Palaeonictis#1527 because those two are interdependent

2019-02-11 13:44:57 UTC  

Don’t these ding dongs know if you raise taxes on the rich, they will simply leave?

2019-02-11 13:45:01 UTC  

And then what?

2019-02-11 13:45:18 UTC  

Then the UK will laugh their heads off.

2019-02-11 13:45:54 UTC  

Taxes are lower there y'know, and they need rich people to prop up their brexit bust-up.

2019-02-11 13:46:11 UTC  

Brexit needs to happen

2019-02-11 13:46:23 UTC  

^

2019-02-11 13:46:28 UTC  

the EU needs to be dissolved

2019-02-11 13:46:37 UTC  

They may not@leave

2019-02-11 13:46:42 UTC  

They’ll just avoid it all

2019-02-11 13:46:55 UTC  

For example in 1950s or so when tax rates were high as 91%

2019-02-11 13:47:03 UTC  

The people in those brackets actually only paid 45%

2019-02-11 13:47:06 UTC  

Maybe less

2019-02-11 13:49:49 UTC  

The UK is around 45% for personal income, but 20% for rich people arrangements.

2019-02-11 13:50:31 UTC  

That is to say, corporate entities and trusts.

2019-02-11 13:50:35 UTC  

Why did you lie about the green deal

2019-02-11 13:50:43 UTC  

I didn’t

2019-02-11 13:50:43 UTC  

That’s what it is

2019-02-11 13:51:00 UTC  

“Abolishing cows”

2019-02-11 13:51:04 UTC  

Yes

2019-02-11 13:51:11 UTC  

As it’s “non green”

2019-02-11 13:51:20 UTC  

No kidding that’s what the green deal includes

2019-02-11 13:51:21 UTC  

That’s not in the green deal

2019-02-11 13:51:23 UTC  

It is

2019-02-11 13:51:27 UTC  

Source?
