You know you live in the bizarro world of Socialism, when a Ocasio-Cortez, a 29 year old Socialist and Democrat Congress woman, who has never held a real job other than bar tending and has never held public office until now, tells Schultz, a hyper successful billionaire, who happens to run an organization with 28,000 stores across 76 countries with over 300,000 employees, that he should work his way up in politics starting maybe at the city council level. What has the US come to that the liberals in the country have gone so completely crazy and arrogant at the same time?

Ocasio-Cortez: Billionaires Like Howard Schultz Should "Work Their Way Up

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that Billionaires who want to run for president should work their way up - starting perhaps with city council.



Referring to former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz's bid for President in 2020, the former bartender and Bernie Sanders 2016 organizer tweeted on Wednesday: "Why don’t people ever tell billionaires who want to run for President that they need to “work their way up” or that “maybe they should start with city council first”?"

Ocasio-Cortez was referring to Schultz's comment that she is the reason he's running as an independent - a move widely seen by Democrats as ensuring a Trump victory in 2020.

In a Monday interview with CNBC, Schultz called her proposal of a 70% tax on the rich un-American.

"I respect the Democratic Party. I no longer feel affiliated because I don't know their views represent the majority of Americans. I don't think we want a 70 percent income tax in America."
