AOC: ‘Shout Out to My Fellow Radicals’ Who Want to Legalize Marijuana and Tax the Rich

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “You know, shout out to my fellow radicals who think that, you know, we should live in a humane, advanced society and that we shouldn’t be under the thumb of a $7 minimum wage and, you know, racist systems because, I don’t know, because that just benefits whoever the people are in power to already be in power. So, you know, shout out to my radicals who think that maybe one way that we can deal with a lot of the shortfall that we have is to do things like legalize marijuana and tax the commerce on that so that we can fund our schools. Or, I don’t know, tax the rich. Maybe we can tax the rich so that people who have helipads on their house or near their house can help chip in for black school districts that are perpetually underfunded. How about we do that?”
