Always offering a “unique” perspective, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacted to the news of the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossing 29,000 for the first time ever by citing it as proof of how horrible the economy is.

“The Dow soars, wages don’t,” she quote. “Inequality in a nutshell” concluded her nine word analysis.

Does this mean she’d praise Trump if the Dow tanked? Who knows.

I guess that despite her $174,000 taxpayer funded salary, he hasn’t set aside any of it for stocks. That’s too bad for her – but why she thinks the Dow’s gains are at expense of wages is a mystery.

Depressingly, the majority of responses to her tweet are in agreement, because much of her fanbase is a younger demographic that’s least likely to own stocks.
