This former waitress has been called\u00a0&#8220;the future of the Democrat Party&#8221;\u00a0by the DNC Chairman. She is now campaigning across the country for Democrat candidates. She is their great hope.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats used to hide their beliefs in the things Ocasio-Cortez believes in. They acted and campaigned as\u00a0&#8220;moderates.&#8221;\u00a0No more. Now they are right out in the open with their extreme, radical, anti-American beliefs. They are the party of Ocasio Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to stop being nice and\u00a0&#8220;well mannered.&#8221;\u00a0Too many conservatives are afraid of offending someone. It&#8217;s time to just tell the raw truth. Study the platforms of the Democrat Socialist Party that endorses Ocasio-Cortez. Study the platform of the Communist Party of America. Now compare it to what leading Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez say. The raw truth is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>There is little to no difference.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, stop sugar-coating it. Stop calling them Democrats, or liberals, or progressives, or even socialists. This is exactly what communism looks like.<\/p>\n<p>First let&#8217;s compare socialism vs. communism. Stop trying to separate the two. They are inseparable. Communism is simply the political system. Socialism is the economic system of communism. That&#8217;s the only difference. They are part and parcel of the same system designed by Karl Marx. The same system that murdered 100 million human beings in the 20<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century.<\/p>\n<p>The same system that today has destroyed Venezuela. The\u00a0<em>formerly<\/em>\u00a0richest country in Latin America today has no gas, no food, no medical supplies and 1 million percent inflation. Venezuelans are raiding the zoo to eat Zebras. They are eating wild donkeys in the countryside. That&#8217;s socialism and communism at work.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Cuba is a communist country. But the Cuban economic system that starves the people and places them in unimaginable poverty and misery is\u00a0called &#8220;Socialist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now look at what Democrat Socialist Ocasio-Cortez believes in. She wants Medicare for all. The latest study reports that the cost would be $32 trillion dollars. The budget of our entire country is $4.4 trillion. Income taxes would go to 90% to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the same number everywhere. In\u00a0&#8220;The People&#8217;s Communist Republic of California,&#8221;\u00a0illegals are welcome, but plastic straws are banned. Waiters who hand a straw to a customer face six months in prison. Yet even in radical California they&#8217;ve shelved universal healthcare. Why? The cost would be $400 billion\u2014double their state budget.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in California, state and federal government combined would have to take near 100% of your money to fund universal healthcare. Please explain the difference between that and communism?<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that estimate of $32 trillion on the national level is\u00a0&#8220;conservative.&#8221;\u00a0That assumes healthcare costs could be put under control. They never have been in America&#8217;s history. Wasn&#8217;t Obamacare supposed to bring costs down? Instead, it doubled and tripled them.<\/p>\n<p>So perhaps the real cost of\u00a0&#8220;Medicare for all&#8221;\u00a0isn&#8217;t $32 trillion. Perhaps it&#8217;s $64 trillion\u201416 times the annual budget of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>But Ocasio doesn&#8217;t stop there. She wants free college for everyone. She wants universal income\u2014a welfare check for everyone in America, for NOT working.<\/p>\n<p>She wants a\u00a0&#8220;renewable energy economy.&#8221;\u00a0She reported gleefully in a recent TV interview the cost for this is $3 to $ trillion more. How will she pay for it? She spoke of giant tax increases, a $2 trillion carbon tax, and a dramatic cut in military spending.<\/p>\n<p>She believes in open borders and abolishing ICE.\u00a0She considers\u00a0&#8220;zero tolerance&#8221;\u00a0for illegal immigration the same as\u00a0&#8220;ethnic cleansing.&#8221; So, she&#8217;d let in 300 million more of the world&#8217;s poor and unskilled masses, doubling our population. All of them would get free Medicare, free college and universal income.<\/p>\n<p>Folks, please stop toying around with words. Today&#8217;s Democrat Party is filled with socialists, communists and America-haters. This is insanity, mixed with ignorance, mixed with national suicide. They want to destroy us. They want to wreck our businesses. They want to take our wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Call me Paul Revere.
