Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs Mom Rejects Socialism

(Pluralism) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ridden a big-government agenda to political superstardom often invoking her immigrant mother to prove that she understands the common people. But the Daily Mail spoke to the New York Democrats mom for an article published Monday and Blanca Ocasio-Cortez turned out to dislike taxes as much as most Americans. In fact she said that she fled New York for Florida to escape the high tax burden. I lived in the New York area for most of my life but I started being unable to afford it" the elder Ocasio-Cortez said. I was paying $10000 a year in real estate taxes up north. Im paying $600 a year in Florida. Its stress-free down here." Ocasio-Cortez 56 who immigrated to the United States from Puerto Rico said she would never have intentionally taught her daughter to love socialism.She wasnt raised to be a socialist" she said. Thats not how Puerto Ricans are. Thats not what we do. Shes a democratic socialist and its very different. They focus on working peoples needs."
