AOC: 'No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars'
Fox news ^ | 1/21/2020 | Fox

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."

She also seems to have taken all the tanning products from Boehners old office. She works hard to keep brown. Rachel Dozell syndrome.

It’s what collectivists truly believe. The pie is of finite size. If Person A has more than Person B it’s only because he stole an extra piece that he wasn’t entitled too.

“You didn’t build that” redux. I first heard that line from Warren, then Obama started using it. Now all the commie rats are parroting it (but probably not Bloomturd).

If it weren’t for rhyming words Democrats would have nothing to say.

"I am seriously questioning how this AOCIdiot graduated from uni........"

Same way Obama did..."affirmative action". Black in his case, "Hispanic" in hers.

trying to undercut Americans earning power/leverage by propping up LEGAL immigration

Which is market manipulation, not the operation of a free market.

“How many other House Democrats have a degree in Economics like I do?

I wonder when the BU Economics department will call her and say, "Oh by the way... You know that diploma you have? JUST KIDDING!"
