@AOC @DailyCaller 1/ They just want to get you off message. Don’t fall for it. Keep telling everyone how they will all need a new car powered by solar energy by 12 years from now. Tell them about the spending for medicare for all that will require their taxes increase more than 100%.

@AOC @DailyCaller 2/ coverage they have now will be taken away, and someone in some govt office will decide on what medical treatment they need. Tell them about the long waits to see specialists and have surgery, and all their medications that won’t be available at any price.

@AOC @DailyCaller 3/ Tell them how their energy costs will more than double and they will have to get used to energy blackouts like they have in third world countries and war zones. Tell them about all the rich Americans who will pick up and leave the US to escape your massive tax hikes.

@AOC @DailyCaller 4/ “Good riddance!” right. One thing though. What about all the things they buy and people their firms employ? What about the taxes they will not pay because they have left the country. Think they won’t? Google “france hollande tax on wealthy”.

@AOC @DailyCaller 5/ Tell them that they can look forward to take-home pay that’s half of what they’ve been receiving. That’s what happens in Denmark on a $50,000 income. $30,000 taken out in taxes.

@AOC @DailyCaller 6/ I’m sure you’re smart. But you are incredibly naive and uninformed about your signature issue. Maybe think about laying low and doing some intensive study for these two years. You could find you’re mistaken and change your policies.

@AOC @DailyCaller 7/ Oh, and make a few calls to Boston U. Ask for your tuition money back on those econ courses, because you came away knowing less than you knew going in. Don’t claim expertise in economics, because it couldn’t be more obvious to your audience that you are in over your head.
