Socialist member of Congress Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, speaking on Amazon cancelling plans for a New York City complex that may have provided New Yorkers 25,000 jobs, says "I think it's incredible," adding, "everyday Americans still have the power to organize and…can have more say than the richest man in the world."
Wrong. On a side note I'm not a big supporter of local officials throwing tax breaks at major corporations--taxes should be low for everyone--one of the reasons AOC is gleeful over Amazon ditching New York is that her union pals oppose the online retail behemoth.
Despite his liberal leanings Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos runs a non-union shop. The trend in America, of course, is more right-to-work states, of which New York is not one.
In so many ways, Ocasio-Cortez is on the wrong side of history.
