Here's everything wrong with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's delusional tax reform ideas

Over the weekend, a video made the rounds of “Democratic socialist” congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appearing on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah. In the interview, Noah asked Ocasio-Cortez how she planned to pay for her big government agenda, most notably so-called “Medicare for all,” aka socialized medicine.

Her answer was a fourfold plan that at least has the virtue of being somewhat intellectually honest: raising the corporate tax rate, putting in a “Buffett tax” on millionaires, a carbon tax, and a massive defense spending cut.
