Conservatives realize that in capitalism there will be rich people, middle class people and poor people. To socialists that is unacceptable and that everyone must be equal and they are all happy if everyone is equally poor...except for the ruling class, of course.

Once Stalin murdered the Kulaks, he set out to destroy the “middle peasants.” AOC and her accomplices are doing their best to destroy the middle and upper middle classes. This is only their start on destroying the economy, even if their first twenty five thousand victims are their fellow Democrats.
Tocqueville said it quite well...
“There is a passion for equality that spurs all men to wish to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the lesser to the rank of the greater. But one also finds in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level, and which reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in freedom.”
I don’t think cortex is thinking socialism - I think she’s thinking, I ‘only’ make $170K as a rep, why should someone else get $150K for a 9-4 job with more benefits? Probably more her speed considering her trying-to-save-face comments that $150K was ‘crap’ wages.
