As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live.

A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.

Ivanka Trump goes after Ocasio-Cortez policies in Fox News Interview: "People want to work for what they get. So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want."

[Autumn]

1. Like the workers in Vankies sweatshops are paid far less than the value they create.

I hate those simpering, pampered trump pets.

[Blue Owl]

2. Hey Ivanka... you speak for NO ONE

NO ONE but yourself, you spoiled brat...

[elleng]

3. AOC speaks for me!

[shanny]

15. She's with me.

[DemSoc]

48. ...and she speaks for me! n/t

[thegoose]

4. And Istanka is paid waaaay more

Than anything she creates.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. She rips off other designers creations. She creates nothing.

[Dave Starsky]

41. She's a lip-injected leech.

Her whole family is worse than worthless.

[FiveGoodMen]

50. FAR, FAR worse than worthless!

[spanone]

5. Great Response!!!!

K&R...

[malaise]

22. That should leave a mark

She is so fucking clueless that it burns.

[spanone]

33. She really pisses me off...

[SkatmanRoth]

6. +1

[lunatica]

7. And the MAGATs who can't make ends meet eat this shit up

Every time a Trump opens their mouth it’s like Pavlov ringing his bell.

[guillaumeb]

8. This from one who was born into money,

and one who represses her own workers to enrich herself.

[world wide wally]

9. Yes, Ivanka, people do want to work, and they also want to be paid fairly...

Not just what YOU want to give them.
You're too much like your cheapskate father.

[Fuzzpope]

10. Dude, Ivanka doesn't even look fucking human.

I keep expecting a chameleon tongue to shoot out at me and stick against the other side of the display glass.

11. nice response.

She did not take the bait, she answered firmly without giving the RWers ammunition. This young congresswoman is learning fast.

[Fritz Walter]

12. I want to believe that she's about to be included in the list of warrants forthcoming from the FBI

Specifically from Mr. Mueller's investigations.

And, with any luck, there will be charges from state attorneys general, so that individual-one cannot pardon the object of his perverted lust.

Jeez! I feel the need to shower just for writing that last bit!

When will this nightmare end?

[czarjak]

13. Whom ever controls the stick with the carrot?

[iluvtennis]

16. An old school "Right On!" to AOC. Ivanka is an elitist and knows nothing about

the struggles of us working class folks.

[pangaia]

17. Way too comp0licated for that ditz.. May I use that term here?

She is too stupid and out of the loop of human existance to have any idea what AOC is talking about...

[pwb]

18. Rich people telling workers they make to much is sick.

.

[caballojm]

19. Only in the twisted fantasy world of the Republican bubble

does Princess Ivanka get to lecture AOC about the value of hard work, earning what you have, and what working class people are thinking. Vapid and clueless spawn of Drumpf.

[fescuerescue]

20. workers are ALWAYS paid less than the value they create

Thats pretty much the entire purpose of a corporation. To extract value from people, give them some back in cash and convert the rest to corporate profits.

[NurseJackie]

27. Absolutely! Glad someone pointed that out!!!!

workers are ALWAYS paid less than the value they create

Absolutely! Glad someone pointed that out!

[hunter]

29. She said "far less."

Workers haven't been getting a fair share of the value for a long time. Disparity of wealth is increasing.

[fescuerescue]

30. Yea I wasn't disputing it

Just adding detail.

For more than long time, it's always been that way.

[gay texan]

21. Is it wrong to have a crush on this woman? Asking for a friend n/t

[zentrum]

23. OAC speaks for me.

[Volaris]

24. THAT is the twitter-response equalivlant of a VISCIOUS right cross lol

AOC is a natural at this.
Imagine what kind of goddamn champion she'll be with Madame Speaker as a coach lol!?

[Dave Starsky]

42. She is the Bruce Lee of social media.

Anyone foolish enough to try to start a Twitter fight with AOC is going to lose.

[a kennedy]

25. Oh man, this AOC woman is awesome........

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Thank you AOC! Trump spawn have no clue. Not a lick of work in their life.

[hunter]

28. Any job that can't pay a comfortable living wage isn't worth doing.

Fuck off, Ivanka.


(That's why I'm not a politician and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is...)

[samnsara]

31. I'm not an AOC fan but that was well done!

[suffragette]

32. Pitch perfect response.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

34. Please BARBIE TRUMP -- GO THE FUCK AWAY.

[GoodTimes146]

35. Its a shame...

that we have to acknowledge Ivanka Trump in any capacity.

[struggle4progress]

36. "If we paid them $15 an hour, fast food worker could earn my $300 million in less than

ten thousand years! Nobody wants that to happen! It's socialism!"

[ck4829]

37. Perfect

[littlemissmartypants]

38. Go,go,go AOC!

Is that Moscow Barbie's real face? It looks plastic.

[cwydro]

39. Good response.

She nailed it.

[Vinca]

40. I love AOC. She doesn't put up with the BS for a second.

[Dave Starsky]

51. She is a verbal martial arts master.

She always responds quickly, simply, directly, and effectively. I don't think you can even learn how to do all that. She just somehow knows.

[Warren_Pointe]

43. It's opinions like that which make ivanka such a popular employer...

in China. Lets see how she likes all those millions of jobs she created each demanding more money.

[chwaliszewski]

44. My tweet to Ivanka...

[argyl]

45. She really picked the wrong person to try to steamroll.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is considerably quicker on the draw than Princess.

[Glaisne]

46. A living wage isn't a gift, it's a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create

Put that on billboards, put in email signatures, on bumper stickers, in editorials, on your social media profiles. Say it and post it everywhere. This is the essential truth of working. A truth that all conservatives deny and fight against.

A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.

[BobTheSubgenius]

47. Shame, irony, self-awareness, empathy, satire, situational awwreness...

All of these becoming archaic, quickly being relegated to a past that we remember fondly, and will sorely miss?

It would seem so.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

49. RE: "Workers are often paid far less than the value they create."

I know of a company that has net income ~ $1.5 billion. This company has 6 employees. How much should they be paid?

In high school and college I took courses in economics. A consistent concept in all of them is that a voluntary transaction only occurs when each party values what they get more than what they give up.

I'm not understanding how to evalueate implementing this idea.

[Lanius]

52. A UBI will only supplement low wages, not allow someone to live high on the hog.

She displays her ignorance and entitlement every time she speaks.
