Our country has a system where the President of the United States is ostensibly worth $3.1 billion dollars and yet there are dozens of homeless veterans sleeping on the streets two blocks from where he lives. If that's not the definition of a broken, immoral system, then I don't know what is.
However, to me that's not necessarily an argument for a Huey Long-esque maximum legal wealth and/or the overthrow of capitalism itself, it's an argument for much higher taxation of the rich, including making our income tax system a wealth tax, at least for the rich, and raising the capital gains tax, then using the new revenue to fund social programs to help the poor and working classes.
Are some billionaires immoral of course but being one in and itself is not and that is what she is saying . If you did the type of redestribution of wealth she calls for it would destroy our economy and create much more poverty .
Also many of her buddies on the TYT think that’s what should happen and her views and all
Of the justice Democrats are basically just a copy of many of the hosts on TYT.
Some people having more wealth than others (even MUCH more) is not inherently immoral, but this country simultaneously being home to Jeff Bezos, a man worth $125 billion dollars, and 40 million people who rely on SNAP to meet their basic food needs is obviously and clearly broken. And yet old out of touch people like Herman Cain, who called AOC clueless on Fox Business a few hours ago, will yell "BUT MUH CLASS WARFARE" if we even remotely do anything to fix the obvious and gigantic problem. As if ever-widening wealth inequality and tax cuts for the wealthy aren't class warfare.
And just because AOC believes things other people who you don't like believe doesn't make AOC's views dumb. TYT is stupid, but AOC isn't.
