John MerlineRedistribution: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says billionaires are immoral. She also thinks the U.S. should be more like Sweden and Norway. So she wants more billionaires here?
Democrats have recently discovered a new threat to the American way of life: billionaires.
An interviewer recently asked socialist Ocasio-Cortez: “Do we live in a moral world that allows for billionaires? Is that a moral outcome?”
Her answer: “No, it’s not. It’s not. It’s not. And I think it’s important to say that.”
Her policy advisor, Dan Riffle, said that “every billionaire is a policy failure.”
Not to be outdone, fellow socialist and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders complained that “We live in a nation owned and controlled by a small number of multibillionaires whose greed, incredible greed, insatiable greed, is having an unbelievably negative impact on the fabric of our entire country.”
