That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Not that New Jersey is taxing rain, but that you think they are.

They have it in Illinois, but you might not have enough roof to be paying.

I think the fair thing to do is to tax the source of the problem. Since rain is the problem, and since rain comes down from the heavens, they should collect the taxes from the churches.

Whats really disturbing are the millions (not illegals either) that celebrate this deranged train of thought.
She's not exactly the perfect poster child for democrats in 2020.

you need to hear more dim policy, then it becomes more difficult to determine the 'dumbest thing I have ever heard'.

I think they plan to supplement the nukes with all the unicorns we will have.

Asked about paying for all of this, AOC says,
Quote:
Quote:
“At the end of the day, this is an investment in our economy that should grow our wealth as a nation, so the question isn’t how we will pay for it, but what will we do with our new shared prosperity.”
That certainly sounds like something Pelosi would say. I don't know why they aren't best buds by now.
I'm still waiting for that $2500 back on my HC 0bama promised me!

If the dems really want to address global warming, then they should all be forced
to all arrive at the capital in ONE CAR!

If the GOP wanted to write a phony platform to discredit the dems, ala the Dossier, they could not have come close to THIS!

Given the choice, cow farts or AOC, the cows got it locked up!

But you know Churches don't pay taxes, the parishioners pay the taxes!

No less than 6 other "Democratic hopefuls" have climbed aboard her train. More will surely follow when congress has to vote on this stupid garbage. Does anyone else sense a trainwreck a-coming?
Conservatives will enjoy painting this picture for what its worth to voters in 2020. As is often the case, liberals will do all the work...we just have to follow the dots they give us.
