Tax the Rich?

I notice the idiotic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a white gown with the message “tax the rich” emblazoned in red to the Met Gala, one of New York’s swankiest events. As tickets apparently cost $35000 a pop, she obviously identifies with those she intends to be taxed!

She can stop proving what an idiot she is, we get it.
The fact she was elected to office is rather damning evidence of the level of stupidity endemic to our society today.

@Stillwaiting this comment rings so true. especially considering who she was running against. they would have been amazing candidates SMFH

Looks like Antifa made that dress and sell it for 35000 dollars. Just like Biden's Crackhead son sold his Cat piss looking paint for 500,000

@FreestyleArt Biden's ugly art brought in huge amounts of money to launder for his dad as the money most likely came from China and Russia for favors.

She’s skipping without a rope
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a guest of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art at the Met Gala and didn’t pay for her ticket. She borrowed the dress she wore and didn’t keep it.”

MarineBob · 56-60, M
@DownTheStreet still owes taxes on the gifts
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
Oh yes, she does now. Since being elected she has become a multi-millionaire. Doesn't take long, once elected.

It is the complete lack of self-awareness in these people that is stupefying
@Grvstu Totally agree on complete lack of self-awareness. This was worn to a childrens jail....who were kidnapped from their parents to please his voters....and now the parents can't be found to return them.

Isn't this the best place to deliver that message?
Also, the idea that she'll get taxed more for being in a higher income scale is a logical outcome of the policy she proposes. If she wants to have her own income partially redistibuted, then it's totally okay to advocate for that position.

I found the dress a bit cringy, but activism ussually is. But I don't really see the "hypocrisy" people are talking about. Most of the criticism comes from people that have this idea that when she says: "tax the rich" she doesn't mean herself, but I don't see a reason for that idea to be true.
There’s a lot of ‘let them eat cake’ attitudes from the champagne socialists these days..

Time to storm the Bastille and dust off ole chop chop .. oui?

Those crooked liberals in government know how to hide their billions so they won't get taxed and they defend each other if honest people go after them.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@acpguy So it's time to start taxing the wealthy, not ordinary American's income
acpguy · C
@sunsporter1649 Not all the wealthy the phony politicians that hide their money and make millions from lobbyists and foreign governments like Biden's kid is doing by selling his worthless art for huge amounts of money that is probably coming as payoffs to his Dad and Uncle from China and Russia.

ah the irony. and her adoring dumb ass twitter fans with "eat the rich" in their bios cheering her on
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@DeluxedEdition hell, I'd share 1/2 my money with her....but she'd have to assume 1/2 my debt
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
Can't wait for the wealthy to pay their fair share
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649 Don't hold your breath, hasn't happened yet. If they are taxed more, they simple pass the increase on to the buying public. So who really pays???
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@nudistsueaz Wealthy people, not wealthy companies
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649 One in the same.

Well, she could be the first one ? 🤷🏽
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@NangiUniverse Sure she could. LOL
Redstar · 36-40, M
So? Maybe she really is willing to pay taxes.

sounds really nice - France raised their tax rate on the richest of the rich - and they promptly moved out of the country

unintended consequences.
CantExplain · 61-69, M
I always think of P.J. O’Rourke’s satirical book, “Eat the Rich”. It’s a riff off of Jonathan Swift’s, “A Modest Proposal”.
TexChik · F
The rich pay about 90% of the taxes now
