When asked about Billionaires, she went on an emotional tirade like a scorned college freshman co-ed, claiming "You didn't make those widgets" and then complaining about imaginary slave labor in the US. But the really eye opening admission from her follows:

"If Jeff Bezos wants to be a good person, you turn Amazon into a worker cooperative," she said to cheers. "You know, like what do I do with all this money that I have created with this unjust system?"

"Usually if you're a billionaire, that means you control a massive system," Ocasio-Cortez said. "It means that you own oil supplies. It means you control textiles. It means that you have a massive labor force under your control. And to be ethical if you're a billionaire today, the thing that you need to do is give up control and power.

"So I don't want your money as much as we want your power."

I wonder if she ever heard the story of the Little Red Hen?

I wonder if she's paid attention to the outcome of virtually every single nationalized private business in history. Probably not.

She says 'power to the people' and in the same breath, 'I'm the government so I'm the people'. Never mind our founders expressly set up a system where the government is denied the kind of power she craves.

When a leftist says 'the people', she means a tyrannical government run by leftists. When centrists or those on the right say 'the people', they mean each one of us individually. One fights for centralized power in her leftist hands suitable to force compliance and the other fights for decentralized power and individual liberty.

How on earth socialism has made a resurgence despite it's obvious evil nature is a testament to the control leftists have over the media, arts and public education. That needs to end.

The people who shout "all power to the people" want power turned over to the people who shout "all power to the people."

It still makes me laugh a little that an airheaded bartender has ascended to the very top of the Democratic Party in less than two years. The great news is that the mainstream news media appears (for whatever reason) committed to keeping her there. Life is good. You go girl!!!

Don't underestimate her. She would happily throw you in the gulag if given half a chance.

She's pretty much the face of modern national socialism.

Yep.

She said it all, "they" want all of your power. Take it away from individuals and independently run businesses, and turn it over to the state.

These people sound like they wish to move toward Communism.

It's people like her that ensure Atlas Shrugged is on regular order at Barnes and Noble. What should be ridiculous fiction parallels far to closely the real world of leftists that it will never go away until they do.

Why? Most of academia is on her side. I bet most of her Boston University professors believe about 80-90% of what she believes about economics and social issues.

There are 320M Americans and appx 585 of American citizens are billionaires. This chic acts like everyone with a 401k is Uncle Pennybags.
