Squad member Rashida Tlaib tells #NAACPConvention her legislation would tax the rich and give it to 'people who earned it'

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a member of AOC’s “squad,” got a warm welcome at the NAACP convention this morning:

During her speech, Tlaib said she’s not going anywhere “until I impeach this president,” but she also talked about her proposal to repeal the Trump/GOP tax cuts and raise taxes on the rich and corporations in order to give it to the people who “earned it”:

It depends on what your definition of “earned” is:

Wow she doesn’t know what the word earned means

This shows a complete lack of understanding regarding Economics and our Constitution. But that's not surprising coming from the Left. The only way they can get votes is trying to buy them with taxpayer money.

No doubt the rest of the “squad” will be proud of their fellow squad member’s proposal.
