Yahoo! published an article called \u201cAlexandra Ocasio-Cortez Fires Back At Ivanka Trump: I \u2018Actually Worked For Tips & Hourly Wages In My Life.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tThe article was originally published on the HuffPost and was just recently uploaded 10 hours ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ed Mazza, the person who wrote this article, did a great job of explaining the topic clearly, concise and to the point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tAs many of you may know, Ivanka Trump is President Donald Trump\u2019s daughter and advisor. She just attacked part of the Green New Deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deal, backed by Democrats, has job and wage guarantees, something Ivanka claims that Americans don\u2019t want. Why in the world would Americans not want this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivanka Trump told Fox News host Steve Hilton in an interview that \u201cI don\u2019t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something,\u201d she continues by saying that \u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last four years. People want to work for what they get.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tIvanka Trump later clarified that she does in fact support a minimum wage but not for those who are unwilling to work. Ivanka was silent on the topic of a \u201cliving wage\u201d though for those who are willing to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tRep. Ocasio-Cortez was not happy with the statement as she expresses herself on Twitter. She fired back by saying<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\t \u201cAs 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\u2019t a gift, it\u2019s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I, for one, am really happy and thankful that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez spoke out because when a person like Ivanka Trump, someone in a high position says such a thing it\u2019s truly harmful to our citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tLight should be shed on this topic because of the recent government shut-down, many government workers weren\u2019t even being paid. A plan such as the Green New Deal would help prevent this in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tMazza also did a great job of providing pictures of the tweets Rep. Ocasio Cortez wrote and provided a video explaining the topic more in detail. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
