Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) repeatedly demonized successful business owners in an interview during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event on Monday, literally arguing that business owners were lazy slave owners who profit off the backs of minorities who are “dying” because the business owners are successful.
Ocasio-Cortez made the extreme remarks when she was asked why successful business owners were “the enemy of health care.”
“Well, you didn’t make those widgets, did you?” Ocasio-Cortez began. “Because you employed thousands of people and paid them less than a living wage to make those widgets for you. You didn’t make those widgets.”
“You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern day slave wages, and in some cases real slave, real modern-day slavery, uh, depending on where you are in terms of food production,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed. “You made that money off the backs of undocumented people. You made that money off the backs of black and brown people being paid under a living wage.”
“You made that money off the backs of single mothers and all these people who are literally dying because they can’t afford to live and so no one ever makes a billion dollars,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “You take a billion dollars and all of that to say, is that it’s, and I’m not here to villainize and to say that billionaires are inherently morally corrupt – but they are, I mean, I think there is a case, but um, but, it’s not to say that, it’s to say that this system that we live in, life in capitalism, always ends in billionaires. If you don’t do it, someone else will. It’s who decides to make that choice is just kind of up to, you know, circumstance.”

She is the dumbest of the dumb and that is some accomplishment for politician.
“You made that money off the backs of undocumented people.”
Let’s send them back and pay Americans living wages by eliminating the illegal immigrant scab labor that undercuts the legal minimum.
She’s being fed these things.
Because they are getting more and more out of control
I dont know what the plan is but someone is behind her
She is too stupid to know how stupid she is.
I did a bout or two of sweatshop labor in electronic recycling and resale. It was during the time of the wun.
Some of the upper management had a little in common with a slave driver.

That has been the case since Day One with this dingbat. She is a sock puppet.
i think she feels that it’s necessary to ratchet-up the insanity of her demagoguery because the media has been momentarily distracted by the impeachment, so the glow of the media spotlight on her has temporarily dimmed ...
I hate MLK Day and I hate everything AOC stands for.
Get back to President’s Day/ Lincoln’s and Washington;s Birthday and dump MLK Day.
MLK stood for unconstitutional government interference with individual freedom and MLK Day enables corrupt savages like AOC.
Somebody should call Adult Protective Services on AOC.
The ‘Rats are the lazy, corrupt slave owners.
Okay, Mr. and Ms business owners:
I never again want to hear the you gave money to the Dem side to kiss up and pander to their people.
Or that you gave money to both sides.
Or that you listened to the Colin K and the LGBTQ shills and the BLM crowd and tried to virtue signal by contributing.
NO
NO
and
NO.
Never sell us out again.
“real modern-day slavery, uh, depending on where you are in terms of food production,”
She is a seriously confused person.
Can we send this vacuous know it all to Venezuela for 3 months, followed by 3 months in North Korea?
I’ve met educated Puerto Ricans who have bought into the false narrative that the US is holding Puerto Rico down, and that Americans don’t care about ‘people of color’. The easiest thing in the world is to identify with the group you belong to. It’s much more difficult to see past all that, consider all the arguments, and come to logical and valid conclusions based upon fact. AOC has a giant but unwarranted chip on her shoulder that was produced using misinformation and misunderstanding as raw materials.
I can’t believe this putrid b*tch has s degree in economics!
It sounds more like Stalin and Kulaks.
I pay mightily for my employees’ group health insurance. Not sure what planet she’s living on.
