The fact is that the 70% top marginal tax rate has been done before very successfully. GoldbergвЂ™s comments shouldnвЂ™t surprise anyone who has been paying attention for the last fifty years. It takes years, sometimes decades for actors and actresses to become вЂplayersвЂ™, so Ms. Of course, Hollywood is infamous for people having to вЂpay their duesвЂ™. We think that the only reason these critics on the left are pissed is that they sold out to corporate or monied interests instead of vigorously pursuing the ideological dreams that AOC pushes.

TheyвЂ™re quite aware of what theyвЂ™re goinвЂ™ through Whenever we hear people criticizing this young idealistic woman, we think of the words of David Bowie from his classic song Changes.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (like the true corporatist she is) has pooh-poohed the Green New Deal that AOC is proposing. Whoopi Goldberg, co-host on The View, stated that she needs to hush up and pay her dues. AhhhhhвЂ¦poor little rich man!Д®ven people on the left have criticized AOC. Billionaire Howard Schultz has stepped forward to proclaim, with a straight face no less, that this would not be good for him. Former Wisconsin governor and derp-monger Scott Walker embarrassed himself by providing an inane example of the tax rate to school children.

If Trump gets away with this, then he will no doubt declare other fake national emergencies as well in the future. Hopefully, the slew of lawsuits being filed will also stop this nonsense. And true to form, feckless Republicans like Lindsey Graham lined up to support Trump.ДЇortunately for democracy, a bipartisan group of 58 former national security officials have decided to stand up to Trump and declare that вЂњthere is no factual basisвЂќ for his emergency. HeвЂ™s drunk with power and he wants to flaunt it like any other dictator in the world.

But legitimacy doesnвЂ™t matter to our orange-haired, megalomaniac man child who pretends to be the President of the United States. All these seem to be legitimate declarations. Some examples of national emergencies declared by other presidents include the 9/11 attacks (under Dubya), the Iran hostage crisis (Carter) or the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic (Obama).
