Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and people like her, will eventually be the downfall of the Left.
Why? Because of crap like this.
Politico published a piece on her ridiculous 70% tax rate comments:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is floating an income tax rate as high as 60 to 70 percent on the highest-earning Americans to combat carbon emissions https://t.co/vcKrQlz8Tr

And one of her staffers responded in the most insufferable way imaginable:
Sorry everyone, my bad. I’ll talk her up to 90. https://t.co/gl3VuiGISE

HO. LEE. CRAP.
These people are imbeciles.
This guy’s Twitter name is literally “Every Billionaire Is A Policy Failure”
Go ahead and kill the American dream, dude. Because our country should TOTALLY limit the amount of wealth and success you can attain, right? Is that what AOC and her ilk want? To STOP people in their tracks on their way to financial success?
SURELY AOC won’t condone this, right? That would be an IDIOTIC move!
WRONG.
She’s an idiot. Idiots LOVE idiotic moves:
Having 🔥 Twitter game is not a hiring requirement for my policy team, but they bring it anyway ⬇️ https://t.co/qBb1clwhSq

OH, FFS!
How long until they start calling for 100%?
If Bezos’ net worth when he dies is 150 billion, we will need an inheritance tax of 99.9% in order to knock his heirs down to 150 million. As long as money = speech as a legal precedent, dynastic unearned wealth will smother democracy.
