Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Trashes US System: Allowing People to Keep Money and Make Billions Is Immoral
GP ^ | 01/22/18 | Jim Hoft

Sandy knows best.

Committed Socialist and Democrat Party mouthpiece Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went off on the American capitalist system on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

Ocasio Cortez has warped ideas on the success of Socialism. A trip to Venezuela is warranted for this one.

During her talk with The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates Ocasio-Cortez trashed the US system despite its unprecedented success in world history. Completely blind to history and the world around her Ocasio-Cortez continues to promote Marxist ideology. This is the modern day Democrat Party. Ocasio-Cortez likes to wrap up her conceit and ignorance as compassion.

FOX News reported:

When asked whether “a world that allows for billionaires” is “a moral outcome,” Ocasio-Cortez responded: “No it’s not. It’s not.”

She then said that she does not believe all billionaires “like Bill Gates, for example, or Warren Buffett are immoral people.”

“I’m not saying that, but I do think a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“I think that it’s wrong that a vast majority of the country does not make a living great wage. I think it’s wrong that you can work 100 hours and not feed your kids. I think it’s wrong that corporations like Walmart and Amazon can get paid.”

Airhead has no concept of how many jobs those billionaires create.

More jobs are created by the wealthy than by the socialists — except for activist positions, of course.

Regrettably this one may be correct. 12 years is enough time for their plan to be the end if they are not subdued

She is horrible, but the Overton Window continues to move (more quickly now) to the left.

Dear Stupid Dirt Girl,

You aren’t going to allow or disallow me to do a damned thing.

F*** you very much,

Chris

She is proof that the Democrat party is actively trying to create a system where the very few rich and elite control the mostly poor masses.

The Upper and Middle classes do not exist, except in societies where individuals have the freedom to acquire wealth. Confiscating wealth from individuals and giving it to the people who control government is like going back to the Feudal System.

Knowing the difference between the government having the money, and the people who control the government having the money is a distinction the progressives don't want you to know.

Is she willing to take all their money from gates, bezos, zuckerberg, dorsey, systrom and all the other leftist billionaires? After all they did for the Dems?

As much as I despise them, their brains and efforts have increased prosperity for millions.

Hey, Alex Occasional-Cortex, does that include billionaires such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg?

I actually would AGREE WITH HER if there were a few more words added:

“Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Trashes US System: Allowing People to Keep Money and Make Billions Is Immoral...if it’s used to tear down our country”

And that does seem like what the super-rich are engaged in doing, particularly the Silicon Valley types. So, as far as the super-rich are concerned, if they want to keep their loopholes and 37% top rate, they can go whine to DEMOCRATS about it - this FReeper is THROUGH carrying the water for those traitors.

Let’s make it simple.

First of all, people in Alabama DO have “access” to “public health”.

In order for “public health” to remediate what ails poor people, all across this land, you have to make public health officials dictators. They will have to control what poor people eat, where they go and how they get there, how they party, who they f***, and all the other variables that cause their terrible heath outcomes.

So it’s the MONEY she’s upset about?

So I wonder if that means that she’d support exempting all non fungible asstets from things like inheritance taxes?

This is all an effort to get the debate back to questions of economic theory so you don’t notice that your country is being turned into a 3rd world strip mall. AOC isn’t getting anywhere with these tax hike proposals, and the super rich aren’t going to pay them anyway.

So, is she going to raid Bernie’s bank accounts, and take-away his homes?
//////////////////////////////////

Can’t.
Big walls there, you know.

Like the Obama and Hillary and Pelosi walls. Keep out the lower social orders and other riffraff.

Security guards with loaded weapons enforce that while the Dems inside muse about gun confiscation from the rest of Americans. Then it’s off to a lavish five star restaurant meal and flashes of photographers’ cameras as they get out of limos.

Ah, the life of socialist elites.
