Her constituents elected her knowing she was a Democratic Socialist, so it should come as no surprise that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks the American capitalist system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral.
Here’s the video of her being interviewed by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who asks, “Do we live in a moral world that allows for billionaires? Is that a moral outcome in and of itself?”

Funny how she doesn’t call billionaires like Bill Gates “immoral” for being billionaires; it’s the economic system that’s the problem. Of course, she’ll fix that by taxing everyone making more than $10 million a year until there isn’t anyone left making $10 million a year.
Seeing as no one needs a million dollars a year to survive, is it moral that America allows there to be millionaires?
What’s the cutoff when it becomes “moral?” When everyone makes the same amount?
Who knew IPOs were evil?

And yet this is the greatest country in the world. This woman is incredibly clueless and dangerous at the same time. She would want East Berlin as a way of life except she would be a “have” and we’d all be “have nots”
