Howard Schultz blames his run for president as a third-party candidate on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez


Billionaire former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz‘s possible presidential campaign launch isn’t going very well. When he initially announced over the weekend he was strongly considering running for president, and as a “centrist independent,” the internet exploded with cries of “no!”
.
.
“Schultz says he can’t run for president as a Democrat because he doesn’t like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal to slap a 70-percent marginal tax rate on income above $10 million,” The Daily Beast reports.

“I respect the Democratic Party,” Schultz, formerly a life-long Democrat, said Monday. “I no longer feel affiliated because I don’t know their views represent the majority of Americans. I don’t think we want a 70 percent income tax in America,” he explained.
.
.
For example, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal to tax earnings over $10 million at 70 percent is supported by nearly six in ten Americans.

Howard Schultz has already called these things un-American:

• Ocasio-Cortez's tax on the wealthy
• Kamala Harris' Medicare for All proposal
• Critics of third-party campaigns





You thought about running because you're an egotistical, narcissistic asshole!
