Ocasio-Cortez: 'Everyone's Pay Should Be Equal, But My Pay Should Be More Equal Than Others''

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Speaking to reporters after coming out in support of pay raises for herself and her fellow congresspeople, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she believes everyone's pay should be equal, but that her and her colleagues' pay should be "more equal" than everybody else's.

"I campaigned on equality and lifting up the poor and bringing down the rich," she said. "But after a few months in Washington, it's clear to me now that we need to shift my campaign rhetoric a bit."

She then held up a chart that had her core values on it and crossed out "Everyone's pay should be equal" and replaced it with "Everyone's pay should be equal, but my pay should be more equal than others.'" The representative began leading her supporters gathered in a chant: "Regular Americans good, politicians better! Regular Americans good, politicians better!"

And the reporters looked from Ocasio-Cortez to the other corrupt politicians nearby, and from the other politicians to Ocasio-Cortez again, but already it was impossible to say which was which.

She says if we pay her more, she will be less likely to take bribes. (And, that is not from the Bee. It’s true.)

[Innovative]

Sure. My pay should be equal to that of George Soros,

[albie]

That can’t be an actual quote.

[Telepathic Intruder]

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. And it’s always the government that is the most needy.

[BitWielder1]

I agree, Congress critter's pay should not exceed that of a common entry level laborer.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

She reminds me of the pigs in ANIMAL FARM.

“All Animals are Equal! But some Animals are more equal than others.”

[lightman]

OINK !

" If Congress was really paid what they are worth, she would be advocating to increase their salary to the minimum wage.

[FrdmLvr]

So she’ll take the bribe from us when we bribe her not to take bribes from the usual suspects?

[buffyt]

I always hear that blacks and women have lower pay than whites and men. So I am willing to change places with poor black woman Oprah.... Seems only fair.

[southernindymom]

Seriously! And these stupid sheeple chanted with her! O...M...G what a bunch of …… I’m at a loss for words.

[DUMBGRUNT]

That can’t be an actual quote.

six months on the job and has accomplished absolutely nothing and she’ll get a raise. your tax dollars at work

[EagleUSA]

Who are the ONLY people that benefit from communism/socialism/totalitarianism??? Only the “bosses” in government....they are the ONLY ones that try to promote these oppressive forms of “government”.

[tcrlaf]

Her “Justification” for the raise reminded me of this:

“Comrades!” he cried. “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege?

Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig.

We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples.”

You my dear, are way over paid as it is. Take a big pay cut to where you will be equal to those who foolishly voted for you.

[mumblypeg]

Yep. Also not satire: that one of her FIRST acts as a FIRST year congresswoman, is to VOTE HERSELF A PAYRAISE! Real hero of the poor & downtrodden, that one is.
