Ocasio-Cortez said billionaires make their money "off the backs" of "undocumented people," "black and brown people being paid under a living wage" and "single mothers."
She addressed a hypothetical "widget" billionaire in her remarks.
"You didn't make those widgets, did you? Because you employed thousands of people and paid them less than a living wage to make those widgets for you," Ocasio-Cortez said. "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 modern-day slavery."

Except globalist have watered down the labor market with LEGAL immigration so the American worker, when not being displaced, is barley treading water.
“...You didnt make those tips AOC. You stole them out of the tip jar....”
ROFLMAO!!!
That one got me...about spewed my coffee all over my keyboard & monitor.
She’s just another product of a liberal/communist “education”.
In other words.....dumber than a box of rocks.
>>>Unpaid college research interns.
Who created the software to run the widgets?
>>>Indentured H-1B visa servants.
Who put up the capital to build the widget factory?
>>>Banks and vulture capitalists.
who supplied the parts for the widgets?
>>>They are imported from China made by coolies.
who delivered the widgets to market?
>>>Amazon, the Chinese PLAN store front.
None of these people deserve a return on their money?
Shes learned just enough Marxist sloganeering at Boston University to make herself dangerous.
The only entity that takes at the level of $billions is Government.
But AOC and her rat friends are all on board with that scheme.
“The annual list price to attend Boston University — including tuition, fees, room and board — currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, empirical economics, statistics and assorted electives.
Four years, 52 credits and nearly $300,000 later, the school promises that BU economics majors will depart “with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory” and the “empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world.”
How, then, to explain the abject economic illiteracy of meteoric media darling and democratic socialist “political rock star” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The 28-year-old BU alumna graduated with an economics and international relations degree in 2011. She calls herself a “nerd” and bragged about her academic credentials, tweeting earlier this month:
“How many other House Democrats have a degree in Economics like I do? Trying to find who out here is going to be in the Gini Coefficient Appreciation Squad.”
You didnt make those tips AOC. You stole them out of the tip jar.
Yes! Shes a 10kw projector.
This little priss has all the taking points down!!
These people are dangerous!!!!!
Take a poll and you’ll be stunned by how many people out there will agree with that statement.
Not if you’re in politics. You steal those billions. Someone’s got to keep her in nice shoes.
She is TAKING our money as she speaks.
Yeah, those widgets imagined themselves, raised start up capital themselves, and built the business themselves. The owner had nothing to do with it.
She just gets worse by the day.
Shes definitely the dullest knife in the drawer.
Not if youre in politics. You steal those billions.
Yes, in high level politics, true.
See Hillary + cattle futures, Ukraine + Biden, Obama + book deals, Pelosi + Hunters Point, Clintons + Clinton Foundation, Omar + campaign funds, Conyers + corruption...on and on and on...
AOC even took all the money in the tip jar.
The democrats establishment will toss her to the curb bigly. She doesn’t share and she thinks small. She craves attention for the wrong goals. She is incapable of coalescing peers and those she could be promoting besides herself.
One billion.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, the Google founders and Jeff Bezos changed the world. They earned their money.To say they took it is a freakin’ embarrassment. AOC is a clueless dunce, to put it mildly.
