AOC, who lives on a taxpayer salary and perks, says billionaires are living on stolen wealth

This silly bartender would make a great professor for Communism 101.

AOC will never be anything more than an airheaded bartender with dung for brains. It doesn’t matter if other dung-for-brains morons with the power of the vote were to ever elect her as president; she is, and always will be, a preeminent example of a failed education system and the worst that America has to offer: [X post at source article]

Sure, someone with a mind like AOC literally can’t earn a billion dollars, but some people can. Ignoring government cronyism and the fake free market (we have too much government intervention for a true free market), earned billionaires are the innovators and the risk-takers, either bringing a highly desired product to market or making good investments that bring great rewards.

This is all aside from one of the greatest political ironies I’ve ever heard of: AOC is actually living on stolen wealth, 100%. My wealth and your wealth, to be clear. And she’s not just eking by on a small civil servant’s compensation, she’s raking in almost three times the average American salary—definitely so when you consider all her added non-paycheck perks.

AOC has so much stolen wealth in her bank that she can afford to attend Met Galas wearing designer gowns about taxing the rich, and afford to rent a luxury apartment in the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. I don’t consent to being taxed so AOC can have a job (I do so at the threat of government violence), but I do consent to all the ways I spend my money that winds up in the billionaires’ wallets.

Oh, she knows how it works. She knows exactly what she’s doing, too. (See my previous post)

It was Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo who said ‘be afraid-be very afraid’. Remember him?

Kamala got 48% of the vote. He’s right. AOC is no joke.

[Socon-Econ]

The woman’s notion of theft is confused. Billionaire Bill Gates didn’t steal anything from me — he made it possible for me to have computers. We are not still in feudal England, where Norman lord’s stole from the peasants.

Dumber than a box of rocks - and some thing she is POTUS material.

[SMARTY]

Right, not her or any of those other gaping rectums! 😡😡😡😡

[neverevergiveup]

OK, and what are healthy working-age welfare recipients living on?

[mikey_hates_everything]

The stock markets are stolen wealth? I come up with a good idea, incorporate and an investor or millions of investors like the idea or product and buy shares of my company to make it happen making me wealthy? That’s stolen wealth? AOC is such a dipshit.

[econjack]

It amazes me that this airhead gets any coverage at all. Supposedly an Econ major at Boston U with only 3 courses, which requires a minimum of 12 courses in Economics, and C’s in those 3 she took, obviously didn’t learn anything judging from her policy prescriptions. I’m starting to think she paid someone to take her exams.

[dfwgator]

Don’t assume AOC is dumb. She is actually smart enough to know how dumb voters are, and what to say to get their support.

[brookwood]

Oprah sure didn’t EARN her billion dollars. Neither did Lebron James or Tom Brady or Novak Djokovich or Michael Jordan or Jerry Seinfeld or Robert DeNiro. They exploited their employees to get that money, or stole it, or broke the law.

[caddie]

This is what happens when schools graduate students, and colleges give degrees to, students who have no math or economic training.

She doesn't understand exp(x), interest, borrowing, or the effects of investing and job creation.

The notion of a boss being able to profit by organizing laborers v lifting the shovel with his own arms, was settled in the Middle Ages. It is A-OK. Communists still hate the idea.

The idea forms a part of our Western intellectual heritage and English Common Law, and eventually our own Federal Code and Universal Commercial Code and other laws based on our Constitution.

Far from being exploitative of the poor, all these laws allowed the average human in the West, from the time of 1800 on, to increase his per capita income by tenfold and much more.

Europe, the US, and other civilized countries, have never looked back. Underdeveloped and backward countries, deprived of capital for starting businesses, languish in the Middle Ages.

So AOC is not only numbers-dumb and ignorant as a Communist, she is profoundly uninformed about Western history and economics.

Her 'job' as a Communist is evidently to cultivate this resentment-myth among the Rat party loyal.

[subterfuge]

She pays for her staff to go to their Ketamine retreats to party with taxpayer dollars.

[mak5]

Or they can produce nothing and not hire workers in the first place. She can’t possibly have put any thought into this.

[subterfuge]

No sorry FRiend. She’s a complete dolt and everything she says and does is scripted by someone else. She AUDITIONED for the part she is playing. Literally. It’s an act.

[Vaduz]

AOC proof the democrat party excepts anyone the lower the IQ the better.

[plain talk]

Democrats exist off of stolen wealth. But AOC was never that bright.

[Albion Wilde]

[econjack]

That's a relative comparison. AOC is dumb. The fact that she holds public office is more a comment on the voters who put her in office than on her.
