Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) demanded during an interview on Monday that billionaires give up control of their companies and give up the power that they have earned if they want to be considered “ethical.”
“If Jeff Bezos wants to be a good person, you turn Amazon into a worker cooperative,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “You know, like, not what do I do with all of this money that I have created with this unjust system and, if, usually you’re a billionaire that means that you control a massive system.”
“It means that you own oil supplies, it means that 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,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “So, I don’t want your money, as much as we want your power.”
It’s the leftist mindset. Let someone else do the heavy lifting, and then you just steal it from them.
That’s “ethical” in progworld.
AOC – Kleptoparasitism wanting votes and your wallet.
Would, like, someone, like, ask this kindergartner to, like, leave and, like never, like come back?
“So, I don’t want your money, as much as we want your power.”
Hmmm … money IS power … you poor dumb schlub.
And what’s with this “I … we …” bullshit?
Sandy wants BOTH the money AND the power – make NO mistake about that. She’s already gotten some $10 Million on a bogus book deal (laundered money) and is aiming to become the next Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Mad Max Waters, or HRC by extorting Hundreds of $ Millions from businesses and taxpayers.
Shake-down is the name of the game.
Pay Up or get out.
The Unions understood this from the beginning and have shoveled $ Billions into the pockets of politicians and their cronies, at the expense of their expendable members – their pensions and health insurance and “benefits” have long since been nationalized.
Sandy gets it – even though she’s basically a moron – she must have good handlers.
izlamo delenda est …
Andrew Carnegie wants to come back from the grave and kick her ass for being so stupid and an asshole as well. It’s not her friggin money, she has no right to take other peoples money no matter who they are and whether they’re rich or poor.
Shut up and do what ya do best,serving adult beverages. What’s a guy gotta do ta get a beer round here?
She’s giving the GOP and any Republican rival all the ammunition to kick her ass in an election as well as making some of these billionaires stop and think a bit about their support for the left/socialist nightmare that is the Democrat Party today. Even though her district is heavily left the right message can be crafted from her words and actions to boot her out if a decent candidate is found and a hard campaign run.
Bernie, does your dim little helper gal know that she’s a fascist?
“Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it.”

This dumb bint has no right to steal money, power or anything else that someone has worked hard to acquire, I don’t give a fcuk who, where or whut you think you are…PERIOD!
What the Hell! I thought their mantra was “No one is above the law”
Evidently, in their sick, twisted, little minds that excludes democRATz!
Go sit on a stick Bitch!
And while yer at it, make it a yardstick!
You can demand it all you want, you dumb whore. It ain’t gonna happen.
Dunce
Someone needs to take her power. Did anyone else see her complaining that there were riot police lined up at yesterday’s 2A rally? She felt slighted because at Eric Garner (and similar) protests riot police are required or the town burns down.
My comment above should have said there were NOT riot police lined up. I need to proofread better.
imagine her mixing your drinks ?
I bet it’s hard enough for her to open a beer let alone mix a cocktail
mix a cocktail ? she can barely make a cock hard without slobbering on it
*shrug*
