Ocasio-Cortez: Any System That Allows Billionaires To Exist Is “Immoral”

Hotair ^ | 01/22/2019 | Ed Morrissey

[RoosterRedux]

What she fails to understand is that when a person creates a company that becomes worth a billion dollars or more (that's how a person becomes a billionaire), that company hires people, puts food on the table of those people, provides people with a means to own a home, send their kids to college, and to retire.

Without that company, what happens to all those prospective employees?

What AOC is saying is that such companies must not be allowed to exist...and hence she is destroying the promise of all those who would be hired to run said company.

Is that what you want, Sandy? You want to destroy all those futures?

[SaveFerris]

Yes, they should all rise up immediately against Democrat billionaires.

I’d say Nancy Pelosi is immoral, too, right AOC? After all, much of her wealth comes from a company with offshore labor, right? Yes, packing those cans of tuna.

[Jim Robinson]

Occasional Cortex needs to be introduced to the Declaration of Independence.

[econjack]

... she does go off the rails a bit when claiming that corporations like Wal-Mart and Amazon pay employees “less than a minimum wage,”

Everyone needs to start calling her on all these made up statistics that she throws around to support a bogus agenda.

[bramps]

I guess there are no billionaire oligarchs . . . or super-rich socialist/ communist party leaders. Her brain must be the size of a BB

“”””””””””””””””””””””

Rush was talking about that fact today also. Hugo Chavez worth over a billion dollars and his daughter worth 4 billion.

[DungeonMaster]

The thing is that she is paid by billionaires to say this about billionaires.

Limbaugh talks about how liberals inoculate themselves against the very charges they make against conservatives.

[Cololeo]

And this from a spoiled little b**** that stole her co-workers tips.

[servantboy777]

I don’t begrudge wealth. What I have an issue with is the greatest transfer of wealth in world history from the American middle class to communist China.

Some folks became filthy rich utilizing near slave labor, child labor, horrible working conditions/paltry wages at Chinese/foreign factories.

If their gonna get it...get it honestly and with integrity. There is becoming wealthy, then there is obscenity. Just my view.

[glennaro]

Agreed. Accidental Occasional Cortex is a real mess ... but she’s the Democrat/Left’s burden to bear and mess to clean up.

[SaveFerris]

yes

[Brilliant]

Who would pay the taxes?

[willk]

Didn’t she refuse to share tips with coworkers while working as a bartender?

[polymuser]

Cool. Then, the 47% paying no income tax will have to start paying. Significantly.

Let them all know that, Ms. -Cortez.

[aquila48]

What’s immoral is stealing other people hard earned money.

A system that rewards theft is not only immoral but will soon become Venezuela.

[Fiddlstix]

Sounds to me like she's trying to channel William Jennings Bryan in his campaign of 1896 when he said No man could be a millionare unless he was a crook.
(Part of his Cross of Gold speech along with other statements.
He wanted to outlaw being rich.)

[SaveFerris]

Yes, all Democrats should rise up against the evil billionaires of Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, Tom Steyer, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Mark Cuban.

I’ll pop some popcorn while they enjoy the monsters they have created and nourished and defended and funded.

[AFret.]

Her brain must be the size of a BB.

Remember that old saying when we were kids?

“BB in a boxcar.”

[TangledUpInBlue]

That was my first reaction. Pretty sure there are plenty of billionaire Democrats.

[econjack]

Hey! Stupid! The Gates Foundation has given away over $50 billion dollars. That money has done a lot of good the world over. AOC says that money should be given to the people of the world in general. Do the math, stupid. It would amount to about $7.20/person, which would likely do a lot less good than the way the foundation distributed it.

[Mariner]

Any system that allows AOC to exist is immoral.
