Why do Americans think that human rights is socialism
This right here 💯 our system is designed for rich to get richer, therefore most of the rich cringe to think the “poor” have the same human rights they do
... and the rich set the rhetoric in the media. So the poor end up adopting this rhetoric, believing it's their own.
It's hard to think for yourself when you're being programed.
Well most Americans view rights in a selfish way. It's MY rights, the rights I have, not OUR rights or the rights WE have.
Leads to arguments about how their individual rights trumps someone else's.
Because it was used as a Trigger Word to describe Dictators and Governments we don't like.
Example...the Communists. Communism is an ECONOMIC Theory. Not a Political one. However, because the only way to attempt this THEORY was through Totalitarianism with Lenin and Stalin...we associate Communism to Dictatorships.
Same with Socialism. It's a word Americans use to describe the Government getting too powerful and being a Dictatorship. That's why Republicans push it so hard. They love the government interfering less and less.
@@jakyvirtorks4304 Unless the US is the one doing the interfering. They conveniently forget the number of times they've installed pro-American right-wing dictatorships. But, to their minds, they're somehow not dictatorships.
why do americans think basic human rights is communism??
I don’t, it’s just these idiots, My family should have never moved here. I wanna go back to Guatemala, but rona is out...
America is owned by corporations is why. And as the political parties, especially republican, are lobbied by said corporations, and these political parties determine how the people, who tend to identify as one or the other and vote down the party line, especially republicans, feel about policy...well, here we are.
@@lindah.6293 Omg I'm guatemalan too!
Basically a century long brainwashing and misinformation campaign. You can see the results today easily by just reading the news.
Not "all" Americans think this. Only the Demoncraps.
People that are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Very well said
yes
A quote!
Yes it works fine in other countries and has done so for a long time
They cannot compute!
I'm Australian. I find it completely baffling that these people would rather be paying more, for less, just to maintain the status quo. How do they sleep at night? I know that no matter what, if I need emergency care for whatever reason, when I head home from the hospital that I won't be forced to sell my house. That's how it *should* be. The fact that this *isn't* desirable to the GOP tells me everything I need to know about them as humans.
''Struth.!
Same here in Canada.
#1 So who pays your medical bills ? #2 Insurance ?
@@user-mi5qq2lk4l
I'm not sure if you're a troll or not, I will answer as if you aren't. England and Canada have similar systems and well, technically... I have pre-payed for my medical care. Here, we call it 'tax'.
People don't need insurance for any critical or emergency treatments. And for non-critical treatment you just don't get to choose your doctor and insured people do. That's the only real difference. I'm a veteran, so I get private health care via DVA (Department of Veteran Affairs). That's hardly ever going to be taken into consideration if I'm dying, in that circumstance I want to be taken to the closest hospital (which is going to be a public hospital virtually everywhere in AU).
Nobody gives a toss whether or not you go to a public hospital instead of a private hospital when there's a potential for death. I've only ever used my private health care in non-emergency situations, which is normal here. The closest hospital with a good emergency department is 5 minutes away from my house, the closest private hospital with the same (or better) emergency department is half an hour away (and the one beyond is fully an hour+ away). And neither public nor private would cost me a cent, because I'm a tax paying Australian citizen (public), and a veteran (private).
Health care ought to be a right, not a privilege. I don't live in an underdeveloped country. Socialism is only a bad word if you are trying to protect an inherently inferior system, which is particularly obvious in medicine.
@@knowEyeDeer #1 I can not find my original post that comes even close to "trolling". #2 I am sure that I never disputed your common sense scenario of "if you are dying get to the closest hospital" as this just seems to be basic common knowledge for anyone. #3 I would like you to reconcile "health care ought to be a right" that is paid for either directly or indirectly via taxes with #4 Rights are something that are NEVER PAID for. #5 For example freedom, right to vote, right to pick you political party, right to free speech. #6 There are far too many similarities between Socialism and Communism for my comfort.
Imagine thinking that everyone deserving to have an education and good health is radical.
And yet, here we are....
As long as you arent forcing people to pay for you, it's not radical. If you point a gun at people and force them to pay for you're education and healthcare, it's very radical.
It is just crazy, coming from europe sentences like this gives me chill
ON YOUR ASS first of all those “illegals” are HUMAN. BEINGS. second of all they pay more taxes than your president.
@ON YOUR ASS Illegal immigrants have built this country for the last 20 years. Corporations hire them because they save money doing so and in return they work harder, better and with less issues for the company itself. To top it off these immigrants pay taxes and a large percentage of them never actually claim their returns.
Megan uses "people like me" A LOT. Cortez usez "US" that tells me everything.
Good point.
Leni

@@leerothman7570 She's not talking about a free lunch. She's talking dollars and cents--or did you miss that part?
@@HBlack-wf4nj duh. Where do you think the money is coming from?. Oh yeah Dems just want to print it after they suck us dry
@@leerothman7570 Watch the segment again. She says where the money would be coming from. If we had single-payer health care we'd be wealthier because we've cut out the insurance companies and their bureaucracies. If we had free college for all, it could be paid for as AOC says with a small stock transaction tax (remember, Trump's tax bill gave billions back to the very rich and corporations). Finally, we pay through the nose for a bloated military at a time when even the president says we shouldn't play world's policeman.
Wow I love AOC and can’t believe I hadn’t seen this before. Commenting because it needs to go viral. Everyone needs to hear this.
Sandy, she's BRILLIANT! ❤
you should delete this comment
@@jamesoedwards6393uhhhhhmmm idk bud
Watching this clip again in 2022, it never gets old watching Meghan get schooled. She had a view but I usually couldn't get past her arrogant demeanor to truly appreciate anything she might've said that made sense. AOC was like a teacher delivering a much needed lesson.
It's the difference between facts and rhetoric.
@@justrosy5 Exactly
I pay $930 a month for health insurance.. Got to love America!

Hey Ross Duffy good for you
And better health outcomes, better standard of living, better education, better life expectancy.....but hey, at least America has the best COVID-19 numbers. No, wait.....
Meghan was simply out of her league, rich parents doesn't make you smart.
And lies don’t make truth
Exactly...I can't stand Megan McCain...she makes me want to puke🤬
I can’t tolerate her either. She’s so aggressive and can’t listen to anything to save her life. She wants to be famed for being a pit bull or something but she lacks the intelligence. Her anger gets the best of her and overshadows any point she may (albeit rarely) has.
And being privileged doesn't make you smart.
Don’t*
AOC is the embodiment of poise, logic and concern for others. Not a bad trifecta. Great job as usual Brian.
And lied about her big booty video and attempted to cast the event as though she were assaulted. I'm not a fan of the metoo bullshit that we have pervasive in our country where every other woman cries rape and sexual harassment of one form or another. And if a woman makes an unfounded allegation of sexual assault against a man, she should be doing the exact same prison time the man would do had he been convicted. Enough with the bullshit already.
Your mentally challenged
LOL you must be living in the gutters where she stripped
AOC is a known moron who is the embodiment of everything wrong with politics today.
What she’s saying is simple : SPEND THE MONEY WE HAVE DIFFERENTLY
I’m Swedish and we don’t even consider ourselves that socialistic. We just don’t think human lives should be a market.
Damn... I like how you worded that
Sweden is a capitalist country tho, I swear you guys don’t even have minimum wage?
@@staneagle1070 We don’t have a national minimum wage so it is technically legal to not pay your workers. However I don’t see why anyone would agree to such conditions knowing that they could negotiate themselves to a higher wage somewhere else. Most jobs are tied to an organisation with some set rules for minimum wage though so that shouldn’t be an issue.
Nevertheless if the conditions get so bad then you can always quit your job and look for a new one. Unemployed people get an allowance to live on for a while up until they can get a good job either way payed by the government - a socialistic function to cancel our the previous capitalistic one.
Nevertheless you are somewhat right. As I said myself, Sweden isn’t considered that socialistic so in a way we could count as capitalists. However our caring for our citizens is usually shrugged off by extremist capitalists as a socialistic value.
@@decentgrocerybag4003 Yh the Nordic model as I’m sure you know is capitalist in the accumulation of wealth and socialist in the distribution of wealth, and you are spot on with the minimum wage thing that’s the argument capitalists make against it, as for extreme capitalists being against the Nordic govts “caring for citizens” the argument for free market capitalism is that the market provides things more efficiently and things like welfare are an incentive for people to not work as they are being payed to remain unemployed.
@@staneagle1070 Sweden has very strong and powerful unions which more than 70% of its labor force belong to. They negotiate, on behalf of all employees (union member or not), wages, pensions, working conditions, leaves, etc. Sweden has one of the most progressive labor laws and social/welfare programs.
What I love so much about AOC is that she doesn’t flaunt her intellect. She just breaks everything down so the simplest like Megan should be able to understand.
she doesn't have any intellect to flaunt. She's as dumb as a doorknob. Seriously your standards are too low and/or you hang out with total losers.
Amelia Amaretto awww did AOC not dumb it down enough for you?
Amelia Amaretto Hello smooth brainer
Amelia Amaretto saying someone is “dumb” bc they have a different opinion than you is just sad. there are many conservatives who i think are intelligent even though i don’t agree with their policies just like there are many intelligent liberals who i do agree with.
@CrimsonWine - she's way beneath my level when it comes to intellect. I have three degrees and not dumbass "arts" degrees either. Her word salads are for naïve 5 year olds (or arts students). Maybe you can relate because you're not yet fully evolved or used to civilised society.
Rock ‘em Sock ‘em, Brian!
Everyone in America needs to see this episode.
Bravo
Who's Brian?
This entire video deserves a standing ovation. 👏🏼👏🏼
Its literally a verse from a 2Pac song, Changes " you have money to fund a war, but none to feed the poor."
Have you not eaten? Are you hungry?
@@TimezUp23 You do realise that there are people in the US who have not eaten and who are hungry, right? Around 14 million households in the US (one of the richest countries in the world - number 11, to be precise) experience food insecurity, with around 5.6 million of them experiencing severe food insecurity. And yet you would rather spend over $700 billion on your military rather than addressing the issue.
@@jonb4155 Democrats wasted 3 straight years on hating trump. They even wanted to open the borders and give illegal immigrants healthcare. Then they realized after covid they better stop acting like open borders was a good idea. No one is starving in the US. The government gives out free money for food.
@@TimezUp23 You are woefully misinformed. Or just lying to protect your discredited hero.
Nobody wanted open borders. They wanted a relaxation of the frankly draconian system of immigration employed by the US. "Illegal immigrants" is a misnomer. The majority of "illegal immigrants" in the US are people who have outstayed their visa, which could be because they are trying to nationalise. In addition, more people have left the US than immigrated illegally and illegal immigrants are good for the economy. Nationalising them would create an even bigger boost to the economy. All this is proven.
Covid is a temporary thing (hopefully). During a pandemic, it is wise to restrict people entering the country. During times of no pandemic, it is wise to do the opposite.
And people are starving, sweetie. That is very much the point. I even gave you the figures. Rather than argue with fact, you could try looking up those figures for yourself and you will see that I didn't just pull them out of my arse.
Finally, I don't think Democrats are done hating on the bloviating orange fuckwit just yet, and it seems like it isn't just Democrats any more.
Jon Bailey you’re wasting your breath, this guy isn’t even responding he’s just throwing out key words
Don't mess with AOC. She knows what she is talking about.
I heard Joe Biden was blowing in her ear. To fill her head up with air
She is an idiot and demonstrates it every time she opens her mouth.
Byron Allen you’re a idiot
FACTS 😍 SHES A QUEEN
Byron Allen how did you make it this far in life ? She simplifies it so much to where anyone can comprehend . You’re the idiot
Worth watching still. Years later...
Your are legend mate!! I’m from down-under Australia, with yes free (government paid) health care system, and think our deficit per capita is far lower then in your lovely country. So keep fighting the good fight!! Cheers Nick
Bernie doesn’t have a hard time explaining how he will fund it. He’s said several times he was going to tax the super rich people more than everyone else simply because it won’t affect them, because they are THAT rich.
Yea he doesn't have a hard time explaining it, they just can't understand it. Or they like to be willfully ignorant because that's the only way they can try and downplay his ideas.
Maybe Meghan doesn’t understand it, but those who would be subject to the tax do. They feel like they’re getting ripped off. To which I say, “Welcome to the club!”
Nice profile pic ! 😍 lovely rog
Lucy thank you!!
Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no Rich no more. Then nobody has anything. The idiocy of those that support communism is astounding. Its never succeeded. It has always failed. Sadly, many of the young, stupid kids causing the violence right now will find out that they've poked the bear too many times. Eventually the real revolution will start and the silent majority will take this fight to the streets. Then it will be all out war. Then it will dawn on the young and stupid that they are in a fight where the opponent is fighting back. It is then that the young, cowards who support this violence and communism will get what's coming to them.
McCain is the 1%. All she hears when she hears “free public college” and “free healthcare” is your taking my Tiffany’s and Prada
BINGO
Meanwhile, kids like her and myself were raised to feel entitled to free college and healthcare by family money; when I got MS that forced me to live back at home with my parents after living on my own for almost a decade because my choices were dying on the street as a homeless cripple OR move in with parents. I was raised in a delusional way that only understood after being homeless and nearly freezing to death because I was such a stubborn narcissist that it took that to call them and ask for help. I was mentally weaker than others because my upbringing lacked challenges that are offset onto others. This keeps the "elites" emotionally retarded until things like what happened to me happen or they die. I find myself seeing the kids I went to school with growing up to be asshole elites of various degrees and it is so disturbing. I remember how my thinking was warped because I just wasn't given the opportunities for mental maturing until I got MS and am being taken care of as much as my parents can. ALSO, this country is SO FUCKED up that even tho my dad technically earns in the 10% the medical bills are SO EXPENSIVE he can't afford the majority of what I need to prolong my quality of life. He has a Ph.D. and has worked 100+ hour weeks since before I was born and it broke my heart one night when he apologized for not being able to give me all the procedures I need. He has been pushed himself to be immature in ways that he doesn't understand that this isn't shaming he should feel, this is a shame on the people running our nation into the ground becau8se they are immature children with money and power that think getting old makes you mature. I have found that true maturing came from NOT getting what my ego wanted but instead learning how to emotionally cope with what my truth is. If I had continued to get what my ego wanted I would have become like so many of these immature adults (trump and mcain and so many). If we had equality people like mcain wouldn't be famous or on TV because she is only interesting because of her dad and ignorance which she got from her charmed life. These people are mentally handicapped by how they are treated and it makes me grateful I dated two crazy people who gave me brain damage that lead to this disease....I am fulfilled emotionally because of what I learned and now I finally have something to share that is of value and not because of my dad who also hangs over my head as an intellectual with a heavy academic background that includes a family member being friends with Einstein. Meanwhile, I am just an artist in a family of academics that makes fun of me lol but I am happier and was able to quit drugs unlike all my dead grandparents and others so I will take my route with a smile. My ideals include wanting to lift others up by sharing that life is better when we search for more of the truth while humbly realizing we will always have more to learn and ask how can I take this truth and create ways to make it healthier? I don't think people like these women ask themselves questions like that ever if daily like I do and damn has it made coping an easier focus.... We have to emotionally grow and realize that the top people are idiots because they don't actually have competition. Imagine a world where all 7+billion humans had access to the same education, health, and wellness...... That would mean getting into Harvard has WAY MORE competition and there wouldn't just be rich kids there and a handful of kids to make them look better. And nobody would have to compromise and do things like being a hooker (so many of my classmates HAD to because the college loans were 250+) Meanwhile people like Meghan are brats to me that don't want the competition so they don't want people to have access to the same level of education. Likely because she isn't that smart. I guess I am smart enough that it doesn't scare me or I am just mature enough to see that we should not hold back others to feel better about our shortcomings. We all have our own thing as we learn and grow but we won't be the best most of the time and those moments can teach humility. You are so right and if you spent time in the places I have been to you would realize how on point you are with your comment. We the people need to assert that politicians are servants and they should stop treating us like slaves. Our culture was built as a slave nation and that culture still taints everything we do because people like them don't want to be equals judged by how they spend their energy and treat others, they only fare well in a society where having money means more than life. I think the moment we prioritized money above life we degraded ourselves and the longer we deny it the more we just sweep it under the rug. Being smart and learning should be cool but being elitist is just sad to me now. If you want to learn more along those lines I am working on new videos but I am so slow because I am very disabled and put my health first. Sending you love and I hope that my comment helps you see how you are so right and if any elite tells you that you are crazy they are gaslighting because their emotional weakness only teaches how to distract with such things. We can all decide to be done with toxic crap and work to build something better and there are way more of us which is WHY they want us divided. Together we can be SO STRONG

Insulin not only for people but for animals too, which owners by in large don't have any insurance assistance at all. 😔
me too girlie
Republican: how does this benefit me?
Progressive: how do we all get the most benefit?
@Filthy Ogre true, being conservative should really only apply if you have zero net debt, including after your lifetime rent. Otherwise, you're in debt to the man, you're not independent and so you are dependent on taxes. Then, you have to acknowledge you depend on your community. Like insurance. If one of you loses your job your brother bails you out. If on the other hand you have zero net lifetime debt, that's a fairly privileged position and you probably want to focus on keeping your money. Then every little tax cut helps, it's a penny on your compounding. It follows if you're a conservative on assistance then you're really just treating the rich as some perverse charity and giving your money away as 9 cases out of ten it will not help you. The number who are this rich is relatively small and the rest who support them are either aspirational or misinformed. It is almost always far better for the majority, unless the left option is extremist, corrupt or Marxist, to support a central agenda and not right wing, conservative or neocon.
@Filthy Ogre IT's because deep down they feel they will get out of it and get rich because that idea has been put into our brains since an early age in grade school. I heard a funny story about an old man on welfare who said he doesn't want to vote for someone who will raise taxes on the upper class because what happens when he becomes rich he'll have to pay for it. The fact that we will become rich has been hardwired into our brains that everyone believes this will happen one day(Even I believe it sometimes).
When the reality is that if we don't fix income inequality, 95 percent of the people in this country will never even come close to becoming rich. It's so bad that even people with high paying jobs are getting screwed over by healthcare premiums, student loans, taxes, high rent, rising inflation, etc. Just because you have a good job doesn't even make you wealthy anymore in this country.
@Filthy Ogre agree. People are encouraged to speculate on their own success when it would make more sense to play more conservative, and avoid debt. Property leverage is usually profitable over the past 30-40 years, but it's so extended now its hard so see it continuing. It ain't glamorous but if 95% of spenders become slave to the man, just don't bother!
As much as I see the narrative you’re trying to push here.... you have to remember that a Republican isn’t inherently someone who seeks to benefit themselves over others. A moderate Republican (such as the late Senator John McCain, may he Rest In Peace) may be willing to vote in favor of slightly more progressive policies, or in favor of keeping past progressive policies. I think that the direction that the current Republican Party is heading in is not a pretty one, but in this upcoming election, I’m reminded of what being a Republican used to mean, and how it didn’t used to come with such a negative connotation. The deciding vote in denying the skinny repeal to the Affordable Care Act came from a Republican Senator. It actually came from John McCain. I understand that the direction in which the GOP is heading is not a pretty one, but all it needs is to have a surge of more cooperative youth, who aren’t so bent on creating divisiveness like our current president. People like Madison Cawthorn and Donald Trump do not represent what the Republican Party has been, or what it should be. People like Tom Cotton are not the future of the GOP. All people have to do in order to ensure that this isn’t the future of conservative policy, is vote. The same goes for people who lean more towards somewhat liberal policy. You can’t lean too far one way or the other. That’s how divisiveness gets sown into the American people, which leaves us in a position where we can’t move forward, because we’re too busy trying to get in one another’s way. I genuinely hope that there will come a day where moderates on both sides of the political spectrum come together and cooperate on the policies that need to be put into place in America. Progress is not found on the extreme right or extreme left alone, rather it is found in compromise and mutual understanding. The United States is a diverse country, and with that diversity comes adversity. Rather than bickering amongst one another and aiming to divide each other, the American people now more than ever need to look towards potential compromise, and work to heal the nation that Donald Trump and others like him have torn in two. At the end of the day, it shouldn’t be a conversation about being “progressive” or “conservative”, rather it should be a conversation about “American”.

Yeah I feel sorry for all you guys. I’m in Australia. If we had the same healthcare as America my family would have had to pay tens of thousands of dollar because of my sisters condition. She most likely wouldn’t have been able to have the brain surgery she did when she was young to stop her seizures, and the medication she has to take for the rest of her life to stop the growth in her stomach form getting bigger would not have been subsidised by the government. I really don’t understand the system over there.
@@clover4168 You don't have to understand it there is NOTHING to understand. Twenty mill people still have Obama care and Trp wants to dismantle that. You can afford health care only if you are rich. There are private companies that we can sign up with but they are sooo expensive. We are the only western country without health care. They have had plenty of time to implement a health care system but no, we spend that money on warring with countries that have never done anything to us. I am looking at this woman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and hopefully she could run for president. Never stuck for a answer, know her facts. She would be a great president. Lucky you live in Australia. Beautiful country indeed. Stay safe!

As a German, I am literally shocked that AOC is requesting things that are so standard here. It amazes me that a nation like the US doesn‘t have all of that. We here would literally lynch our government if they came up with the idea of having a system like you guys have...

she says medicare for all is difficult to swallow. America is literally the only first world country without free health. What makes it so hard for them to swallow? loss of profits?
that's exactly what makes it hard 2 swallow.
Exactly. I’ve heard some republicans more worried about these insurance company ceo’s and what they’ll do for work if Medicare for all is implemented. More worried about that than the people dying from lack of health care.
@Tony Taylor no they cannot get health treatment inthe time line they WANT, which is why only the people with money get out of the way of people without.
Tony Taylor Cute...and completely wrong. The American healthcare system is a backward, horrendously overpriced nightmare. Medicine in the US costs far more than Britain, for instance, due to predatory pharmaceutical companies. The actual quality of American healthcare is the same as Britain and France, but it’s so obscenely expensive that the poor demographics simply can’t afford it. Fun tip: there are people who, after injury, literally ask others not to call an ambulance because they can’t afford it.
I won’t even dignify the “communist” nonsense. You’re seventy years out of date for that fearmongering hate train.
The quality of life is a myth in America. Most Americans I know are on so many medications and have so many ailments it's unbelievable. Don't get it twisted this is how the 1% became rich.
Well put. This should be required viewing for every American.
OCASSIO CORTES NEEDS BE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SHE JUST SIMPLY STATES FACTSSS.+ NOT ATTACKS
She's reading from something while AOC is spitting facts like eminem raps rap God
Yes!
She is so young and smart
Omg, do you really think that she is smart. All she does is avoid real answers, all she does is go after conservative values.
AOC is not realistic. Her real goal is to get as much power as possible.
Bread lines coming very soon.
@@lisachalmers5687 Rubbish!
I've seen her be put under the most intense scrutiny for over an hour each time ... and come up spades. She is so thoughtful ... not scripted soundbites, sometimes poetry comes out of her mouth ... like she's found a way to articulate her thoughts.
I hope she gets to be President, because there has never been a politician like her since the good old days of the late 1700s in the USA.
Someone who completely transforms politics just by beating all of the odds - and then being amazing in The House.
She reminds me of Thomas Jefferson in the way she thinks - but perhaps not in his blatant hypocrisy towards slavery (which he sometimes acknowledged).
So she's one better than him..... just sheer intelligence, and scientific thinking. But laced with passion for her fellow Man.
There is not a single President who was a genius, and she'll be no different ... but her intelligence is actually more pronounced than her natural beauty (that she rightly exploits at every turn ... you're a lady, you should know!). And she's kind ... her kindness got her into this mess!
When I compare her to the previous Presidents - I think she's got more intellect than even the most popular President in history - FDR
Similar policies (common sense can be arrived at from any direction!)
As for bread lines ... they're already here, by the thousand.
The result of Presidents way less qualified than Alexandria.
@@jazzx251 I can appreciate that you are a fan but you are responding to her skill for being telegenic. Yes she is beautiful, yes the tone of her voice has an authorities ring without sounding harpy. But the actual policies she is talking about is very scary.
She has stated that she represents illegal immigrants. Boy oh boy, if I was from her district in NY, and a LEGAL citizen, I would be upset by her statement. What about the legal U.S. citizens in her district that need representation. Their needs are to be put on the back burner while AOC takes care of illegal immigrants first?
Hmmmm, and now that Democrats have ruined businesses from coast to coast where is all of AOC's concerns for the dying businesses in her district.
She called Ben Shapiro a male chauvinist bc Ben challenged her to political debate. Her response was to say that she does not respond to a man's "cat calls".
She is scared to debate him because everyone knows that Ben Shapiro will eviscerate her with facts, logic, and common sense.
Now you probably don't know who Ben Shapiro is but he is about the same age as AOC and also went to an ivy league.
Tell me why AOC won't debate a conservative from her own generation? And then tried to dismiss Ben's invitation to a debate as "cat call on the street". To me that shows me she is scared to face the facts that her policies that she promotes are NOT GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I don’t wanna hear rich people talking about what we neeed ! We need middle class representative when we talking about how we living ! We are the majority

She doesnt want to hear how everyone else will benefit as she does (seems to be same with all republicans) she just wants to hear how republicans only will benefit
The typically eternal Republican mantra: I've got mine, f**k you!

This means that she cited ALMOST DOUBLE the percentage. What she should have said is OVER 60% OF AMERICANS ARE MAKING $40,000. OR MORE.
“Social programs do not mean socialism” is the perfect way of saying it 👏
Well said, "Social programs does not mean socialism"... Brian Tyler Cohen
“2.2 trillion over ten years.” They found 2.2 trillion in a week and majority of it went to corporate America.
I was hoping AOC would say that.
@Danny M right, fuck them all. Until you see politics this way, you are only fooling yourself and playing sides like a forver kid on a crumbling team.
@Danny M I read you last comment there and you're absolutely correct. I couldn't have said it better.
At this point in the game we're all forced to play, it's best to be critical of everyone and hold any one corrupt accountable, if possible.
The right seems to be boot licking at an astronomical rate and we should have seen Trump gleaming with blinding shine from that already... LOL!
AOC has spoken about a few programs and how it can be implemented, though I still have questions and some skepticism, it's a lot more than what the Republicans have offered... which is not helping the average American. Right wing voters seem to think it is despite all the evidence to the contrary. They'll spout irrelevant nonsense like the economy, which doesn't affect their pockets becuase the economy is basd on spending. And who's doing the great majority of that spending? We the people.
So, of course it's doing some what fine. The issue is this to where I ask Republicans... how easy is it to make that money so you can actually spend it?
Are you able to make enough to pay all your bills and get what you need? Are you having to spend beyond your means just to stay afloat? Are you working two jobs or unemployed right now due to covid-19 and collecting what misery the system allows? How well did that $1200.00 stimulus do you month to month?
Republicans care so much that everything they offered had to be faught for by the very few politicians that actually cared enough about the people than their positions. They exist but they're far too few of them in Government. And dare I say it, they exist on both sides of the isle.
@Moe Snert it's going to be paid by you, your kids and their kids
@Moe Snert as long as there are Republicans running things the deficit will keep rising. Historically, the deficit always goes up with Republicans. There have been a few Democrats that made it go up like it does with Republicans but over all, Democrats are better fiscal managers than Republicans.
With the plans the Dems are making now to help people, the plan seems solid enough where it would pay for itself moderately even if some of the cost comes out of taxes or some other method. It still wont be as expensive as it is under the current system.

As full time caregiver, I also lost working hours, and so too, insurance coverage. The debt incurred during those years forced us to sell our family home of 12 years, at the risk of foreclosures. Sigh, any way, Meghan types don’t get it. I now live on an income “of less.”
Me too, i live on less than 23, 000.

Could you elaborate a bit on that? I'm trying to compare it to our danish standards, but have doubts concerning taxes. Is that 40k before or after taxes?
The only problem with taxing the rich in any capacity is that they pass that cost onto everyone else
For me as a German this is unbelievable. Like even our right wing and conservative parties (for example CDU) agree on fundamental rights like free health care and education. Yes, we pay taxes for it, but even this tax isn't though not but bigger than our neighbours. And the tax is nothing compared to the price of health care in the US. I really hope that the US society and politics learns that human rights aren't socialism or even communism.

@@buntoncnd According to the U.S. Census Bureau Current Population Survey 21016 Annual Social and Economic Supplement for workers 15 and older:
70% of US workers make $50,000 or less, 18% make between $25,000 and $40,000 and a whopping 43% make less than $25,000. Prior to COVID there were plenty of people working, but most were not working in jobs that paid well. Arguing that there doesn't need to be an adjustment in the system ignores the fact that most of the people in the US are always going to be scrambling to survive economically, basically being able to live decently only if nothing unexpected EVER happens.

Capitalism only works for the 1%ers, which is why the rich get richer as the poor get poorer.
Socialism and Communism aren't the same thing.
Democratic socialism is a political tradition aiming broadly at democratic control of the economy, achieved through electoral processes. In concrete terms, that generally means a completed cradle-to-grave welfare state plus democratic ownership of big swathes of the economy through mechanisms like a social wealth fund or state-owned enterprises. Importantly, this definition rules out authoritarian systems like the state socialism seen in the Soviet Union. Democracy means at a minimum regular, free, and fair elections, where a conservative party has a real chance of victory.
On the policy side, American conservatives have one international example in their case against democratic socialism: Venezuela. That country is ostensibly socialist and undergoing a severe economic crisis - so bad they're running out of toilet paper, says Tucker Carlson - and therefore leftism always causes economic disaster. The initial problem with this argument is that Venezuela is not a real democracy, as President Nicolas Maduro has been blatantly rigging constitutional and electoral processes to cling to power. Venezuela may embrace socialism, but it definitely doesn't embrace democratic socialism.
Norway (and the other Nordic countries to a lesser extent). Norwegian workers are heavily protected, with 70 percent of workers covered by union contracts, and over a third directly employed by the government. The Norwegian state operates a gigantic sovereign wealth fund, and its financial assets total 331 percent of its GDP (as compared to an American figure of 25 percent). Meanwhile, its state-owned enterprises are worth 87 percent of GDP. Of all the domestic wealth in Norway, the government owns 59 percent, and fully three-quarters of the non-home wealth (as most Norwegians own their home).
Finland has one of the world’s best education systems, with no tuition fees and also giving free meals to their students. The literacy rate in Finland is 100 percent. Finland has one of the highest standards of living in the world.

Well said Brian!
I don’t know why American’s are againts Medicare for al. I live in a country where this is the norm, it is so much beter.
Americans are manipulated by the corporate elites.
Depends what country you live in. America is one of the highest populated countries so requiring Medicare for all is a lot more complicated. I agree that having affordable healthcare options for everyone is something we should strive for but taxing people and distributing it so everyone has it is not sustainable. Instead we should be looking into other options such as decreasing drug prices by purchasing from other countries who sell it cheaper instead of from big pharma is a better option because then people won’t get taxed and others can afford it. This is what Trump wants to do which is a lot more sustainable and people are on board. A lot of people also don’t realize that Medicare for all would get rid of private insurance, employer private insurance (insurance given when you have specific jobs), and the affordable care act which can cause a lot of problems and people don’t want that. Right now we do have Medicare for people 65+ (it might’ve changed a little idk) but they still have to pay for a portion of it unlike Medicare for all would eliminate any costs. The problem with Medicare is it would be super expensive, although hard to estimate, estimations have been close to $25 trillion to $40 trillion. In order to pay off these expenses their plan is to tax people making $250,000+ (also might’ve changed since I did research) which make a lot of people making that much or more very unhappy. Another problem is it forces people who are not sick or are perfectly healthy to pay for others which is where a lot of liberal and conservative ideologies clash. Another problem is because the government would be in control is incentive of being a doctor or going into healthcare goes down because they would control your pay and then you are no longer getting good people in the healthcare industry because many might move to other places or just not choose to go into healthcare jobs. Personally I would rather we have a healthcare system that doesn’t just tax and instead find a solution to more affordable medication and healthcare in general rather then making it affordable by taking money from others.
Kenzz_mw I stopped reading at “America is a big country” such a cope out, right now you spend more per person in the US using a private healthcare system than the UK does (it’s significantly more).
Kenzz_mw I started reading again and laughed when you said it would “prevent private healthcare” lol. No it doesn’t, i have private healthcare, provided by my employer and I have a state funded NHS, paid for by my national insurance contributions.
I’ll keep reading and pointing out where you’re wrong.
Kenzz_mw “it forces ppl to pay when they’re not sick” you do that know, it’s called health insurance! Ha I’m stunned when I hear stuff like this, net costs for healthcare for all would be cheaper than the premiums paid now (it’s a fact, your healthcare is more expensive). It might even improve your average life expectancy which is poor when compared to comparable countries.
60 percent of Americans make less than 40 grand a year??? That is absolutely appalling and this greed will be the death of us....I didn't know so many people were working-poor.

And the people with a college degree are going into the workforce with debt. I know many that are professionals, lawyers and physicians that make $70,000+ BUT owe in the upper $100,000’s. The struggle is real. VOTE 🗳
Come in man where you been lol. Companies don't even like to pay Americans minimum wage lol they move there operations to China to have them work for pennies . Amazon pays 0 in taxes and the same banks who foreclose people's houses get bail outs by the government. God forbid we help out regular Americans though cause its socialist
GRAY WOLF I don’t make $40,000 a year
Yes. I am one of them......and our wages do not keep up with inflation. Whatever, McCain. A totally clueless spoiled and entitled brat. 😝😝😝😝
I make 14,000 , I just can't breath.😔
We NEED this change.
The public school system is a social program too.
Notice how McCain kept saying “people like me” and AOC kept saying “for us”. Shows where both of their values stand as McCain doesn’t dare to consider herself apart of the people 🙄 AOC FOR PRESIDENT 2024!!!
YES SHE SHOULD AMERICA
@@joselperez449 Pelosi just left the chat. Important hair appointment.
@@pckcpk1 Not half as important as your scheduled lobotomy.
@@barbarawashington5305 That's scheduled for next week.
With Pelosi and other old establishment heads there, keeping her in check, she's not going anywhere.
@@pckcpk1 Pelosi's kinda old, AOC for president!
