Not the first time AOC has applied faulty logic--remember her claim that a $21 trillion Pentagon accounting error could pay for Medicare for all?

I'm no fan of "AOC" but this wasn't all tax credits, unless a "grant" means something different than what I think it does. Amazon can afford to build their own place and pay the same taxes everyone else has to pay. They're one of the richest corporations in the world. Why should they be given an unfair advantage?
