In the latest The Hill-HarrisX survey, which was conducted Jan. 12 and 13 after the newly elected congresswoman called for the U.S. to raise its highest tax rate to 70 percent, found that a sizable majority of registered voters, 59 percent, supports the idea.
Ocasio-Cortez has not introduced any legislation to enact the concept but the survey shows a broad cross-section of Americans supports it, at least presently.
Women support the idea by a 62-38 percent margin. A majority of men back it as well, 55 percent to 45 percent. The proposal is popular in all regions of the country with a majority of Southerners backing it by a 57 to 43 percent margin. Rural voters back it as well, 56 percent to 44 percent.
Increasing the highest tax bracket to 70 percent garners a surprising amount of support among Republican voters. In the Hill-HarrisX poll, 45 percent of GOP voters say they favor it while 55 percent are opposed to it.
Independent voters who were contacted backed the tax idea by a 60 to 40 percent margin while Democratic ones favored it, 71 percent to 29 percent.

How about that then?
Also, too,
WASHINGTON — In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.
The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.
The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.

This isn't looking good for Donald Fredovich, is it?
Kirk, the presidents right to fire the fbi director is his constitutionally protected right. You can’t have a pres fulfill his constitutional duty and then go back and say it was criminal. Go back to a sixty minutes interview when Comey was appointed he was saying his speciality and priority will be cyber crime against the US government and corporations. Gee he did a bang up job on that one. The Comey and McCabe are under investigation for leaking. Also, he used his gmail account to transmit sensitive government intel which he lied to Congress about. The dude failed at his command. All this interference by Russia occurred under his watch and obama said it was no big deal. As far as Cortez, she has not one clue what she is talking about. She is saying oh we will do this and that for clean energy, mind you there is no technology available for her proposal. The girl was a bartender that stole tips and lied to her coworkers, which is standard in Congress in a way. You think people will support a 70 percent tax rate? You know what that leads to. Making people who make over 90k a year wealthy and whacking them. Don’t buy the bullshit Kirk, look at the numbers of what some of her proposals will cost. How long will millenials remain socialists? I know, until they start paying taxes. Nothing turns a liberal into a conservative quicker than when the taxes become real.
In closing Cortez is already being frozen out. She will not get on any major commitee, people will see she just flaps her gums and if the Dems continue down these extreme roads it all bight them in the ass. Ok, now don’t use logic, just keep copy and posting. You really are an idiot. I don’t think even you believe this shit. When you serve at the pleasure of the president u can be fired, it’s a constitution thing, you can’t go back and say well that was illegal because he used his constitutional power. Comey was a hack. Sure trump is a secret kremlin agent. Russia has about the same GDP as Italy, a few Facebook accounts and meetings with bill, Hillary and many more going back to the Cold War has really changed our democracy. How many elections has the US and Britain interfered with. Israel interfered with our elections, that’s a proven. Obama got involved in brexit. We armed opposition rebels all over the world and still do. But often we do it with high tech weapons and dumping guns all over countries. Sure, trump was a public figure for 40 years. Never a peep about him being a racist commie. All the sudden, he becomes a conservative president and he is a racist Nazi kremlin puppet. Don’t Nazis hate commies. You use no critical thinking. You read and believe. I’m 90 percent sure you are a troll but this occasio Cortez will be a side note if that unless she joins up with Schumer and Pelosi which may happen when people find she is a joke. You want to hang your hat on her go ahead.
And fuck the shut down. Every federal worker, when the shutdown ends will receive all back pay. People in America who are laid off don’t get that. They get a handshake and a good luck. I don’t have a lot of pity on them. Don’t forget, it’s a partial government shutdown and I’m glad to see it happen. Americans will still get tax refunds, all federal refunds will get paid for all time lost during the shutdown but u just go ahead and paste and copy. That seems about all trolls can do.
