If you believe that a government taking less money from a corporation or individual is some sort of welfare, you must believe (as AOC does) that all money belongs first to the government, and they should decide how much to let private sector entities accumulate.

Here's a short primer for those who are confused:

• Government giving other people's money to corporations - bad.
• Government taking less money from corporations - good.

A dollar in the private sector is more useful and productive than a dollar in the government's hands.

There are, however, two issues.

Government taking less money from corporations - Good.

Government taking more money from disfavored or unfavored corporations to make up for it - bad.

Both arguments apply, but are getting mixed together.
