This silly bartender would make a great professor for Communism 101.
AOC will never be anything more than an airheaded bartender with dung for brains. It doesn’t matter if other dung-for-brains morons with the power of the vote were to ever elect her as president; she is, and always will be, a preeminent example of a failed education system and the worst that America has to offer: [X post at source article]
Sure, someone with a mind like AOC literally can’t earn a billion dollars, but some people can. Ignoring government cronyism and the fake free market (we have too much government intervention for a true free market), earned billionaires are the innovators and the risk-takers, either bringing a highly desired product to market or making good investments that bring great rewards.
This is all aside from one of the greatest political ironies I’ve ever heard of: AOC is actually living on stolen wealth, 100%. My wealth and your wealth, to be clear. And she’s not just eking by on a small civil servant’s compensation, she’s raking in almost three times the average American salary—definitely so when you consider all her added non-paycheck perks.
AOC has so much stolen wealth in her bank that she can afford to attend Met Galas wearing designer gowns about taxing the rich, and afford to rent a luxury apartment in the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. I don’t consent to being taxed so AOC can have a job (I do so at the threat of government violence), but I do consent to all the ways I spend my money that winds up in the billionaires’ wallets.

AOC rants about paying people “less than what they’re worth,” but what about paying people infinitely more than they’re worth? Especially when you’re paying them with…stolen wealth.
I recently had a conversation with someone who argued that the solution to essentially all political problems in the U.S. would be solved if we just “killed all the billionaires.” Mind you, this is someone who voluntarily and happily shops on Amazon for the convenience (Bezos), routinely buys Apple products (Tim Cook), consentingly takes vaccines (Big Pharma billionaires), and purchases groceries from Whole Foods (again, Bezos)—choosing to enrich the billionaires out of his own free will. As he said, they have too much money, and therefore too much power. He’s not wrong that billionaire cash is presenting a problem in politics, but of course, his “solution” is psychotic, and obviously, hypocritical.
But, for the sake of the argument, let’s play along, though not kill these people, who, as far as I know, haven’t done anything that warrants the death penalty (maybe with the exception of Bill Gates), let’s just confiscate all the wealth, as a good communist would do, and as AOC advocates. Let’s “tax the rich,” 100%, and then let’s seize all their property—“every home, property, business, investment, car, and yacht, right down to their kids’ teddy bears”—and sell it for “full market value,” which of course, is entirely unrealistic. What do we get?
That would raise enough revenue to finance the federal government for 9 months. Not 9 months out of every year: 9 months one time. Then, with no billionaires left to pillage, it’s gone—as is your 401(k), because most of that wealth would’ve been liquidated out of the stock market.
Not to mention the industries and jobs that would disappear.)
Now what AOC? Where do we get the money now? I can’t imagine she’s going to suggest “the millionaires,” since she is one. This silly bartender would make a great professor for Communism 101. (The only places retarded people can make tons of money: academia and government.)
And that’s where we’re at—we’ve got the absolute stupidest people in America’s history standing on the shoulders of brilliant and courageous minds like Thomas Jefferson, John C. Calhoun, and Davy Crockett, acting as if they’re worth anything, by virtue of the office, voting on our futures. God help us.
