In a Twitter feud sparked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) call for hefty taxes on rich Americans to fund the Green New Deal, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) While the proposal drew mockery from Scalise, Ocasio-Cortez defended it, hitting back at the Republican and asking: “How do you not know how marginal tax rates work? Oh that’s right, almost forgot: GOP works for the corporate CEOs showering themselves in multi-million💰bonuses; not the actual working people whose wages + healthcare they’re ripping off for profit. Happy to continue this debate on the Floor of the People’s House, but it’s clearly not productive to engage here with some of your radical followers. #StayClassy pic.twitter.com/lZCO3oiLUZ — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) January 6, 2019
