Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated during her Wednesday interview on "The View" the billionaires behind companies like Walmart and Amazon should not exist because they underpay their employees.
Co-host Meghan McCain asked Ocasio-Cortez how she felt about the presence of billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg in the Democratic race for president. Both Steyer and Bloomberg have spent vast amounts of personal wealth on their campaigns, with Bloomberg topping the spending chart.

Hey, AOC! There are roughly 600 billionaires in the US and they have a net worth of $3T or so. Put a wealth tax on all of them at 100%, and you have enough money to fund the government, in its current form, for 9 months. Add in Medicare for all, and you have six months, maybe. Green new deal, and you have 4 months.
But now, there’s no more billionaires. And you’ve moved the equivalent of 20% of the annual economy from productive investment to government transfers. You’ll have to go for the millionaires next, they’ll probably get you through year 1. The stock market will be a shambles.
Now you’re down to the thousandaires. There are hundreds of millions of them. Their wealth is mainly in real estate, you aren’t going to be able to spend that too easily. And the are pretty likely to resist. Good luck, and don’t send your kids to study Econ at BU. Apparently the course of study isn’t too good.

Does every employee assume the risk that an owner/entrepreneur/CEO assumes? Do they carry the same responsibility? Have the same experience and education? Does every employee answer to a board of directors and make strategic decisions that affect the company's future and its employees, top to bottom? Didn't think so. Therefore, Miss Cortez, they are not "equal" in terms of their worth to/investment in the company. This isn't youth league soccer, or affirmative action college admission. You're operating way above your competency and it shows.

Well, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I really don't believe a congress critter should be paid $178,000 when a soldier probably would love to have that kind of salary.
You are a hypocrite. . .

Congress critters, who are on track to become millionaires by virtue of corrupt socialist politics, shouldn’t exist either. I used to think there was a limit to stupidity, but this banana republic chica just blew the bottom out of that thought!

AOC as a Congresswoman should not exist either. The voters who put her in office must be dumber than she is to fall for her act. Something is wrong with this picture, a former BARTENDER making LAW, telling the rest of us what to do and how to live. Puleeeeeze, have someone lined up to beat this Airhead and get her out of office!

#6 I saw a clip of this interview and she was dressed like she was about to go troll for rich guys in the hotel bar. Nodding solemnly while the political genius of our time, Joy Behar, told her what a ‘star’ she is. I’ve never heard anything intelligent or even rational come out of her mouth but maybe she has other hidden talents.

How many millionaires did Bill Gates enrich because they helped him start Microsoft? Or Steve Jobs at Apple? How many people became wealthy because they had the foresight to buy the Walmart IPO in 1970 at $16 per share? Quite a few!
Now think how many starved under socialism? How many died ( or were executed) because of socialism? How many times has this system been tried, all over the world, by different peoples, different races, with the same result of crushing poverty (except for the leaders, who stole all they could while they could)? The answer is-more than under capitalism. Millions more. MANY millions more.
And there's Joy Behar, kissing Taco Barbie's ass telling her what a rising star she is! How do you sleep at night , Joy, knowing that all the money you have, all the freedoms you enjoy, exist only due to a capitalist system, and by supporting a Commissar wannabe like Taco Barbie you'd lose EVRYTHING? Apparently, all Joy is capable of thinking is one thought at a time, and right now that thought is I HATE TRUMP. Joy, you are an imbecile.

Ever single time I see her with her gums flappin and teeth yappin, I get the uncontrollable urge to start singing
A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And noone can talk to a horse, of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse
is the famous Mr. Ed.

Before AOC came onto the scene, negative IQs existed only in theory and in beauty pageants, but not in the real world. Even when I think I've perceived the limits of stupidity, she proves me wrong by speaking again.

She steals worse than that now OP. She cut her senior staff's salaries then distributed that money to the intern types in her office. Her most senior staffer resigned over that too after a month or two. She didn't cut her own salary of course, just her senior staffers.

Billionaires don't pay their employees enough but millionaires like Bernie (and soon to be AOC), no problem.

Magna cum Laude at Boston University: Economics! Think about THAT when you fork out your tuition $. ()obviously, the degree didn't earn her much as she went on to a career as a bartender.)

AOC obviously has consumed too much cheap Tequila. It has rotted her brain.

Boston University should tar and feather its Economics department, if AOC majored in Econ there.
