[quote:rosicrucian1:MV8zOTYxNjI1XzcxNjI3MzcwXzQxMzU3OEEw] [quote:MPG:MV8zOTYxNjI1XzcxNjI2MzQ1X0EyQ0VCODg5] You all mock AOC, but if she continues repeating "people who work should not be poor" and stays away from "abolish ICE, let everybody in" she will be veeeeeeery popular. America has too many working poor for her not to be popular. [/quote] you are right and I have issues with Billionaires too myself... in fact I believe people only need millions to be happy and secure.. but she is saying this from the script and following the commie line... a line that saw people like Castro in Cuba for example become a Billionaire himself. the best way to help the poor and America at the same time is get people contributing and making the country better. the time is coming to deal with the super rich because it cannot continue much longer.

CNN Business) The world's billionaires are growing $2.5 billion richer every day, while the poorest half of the global population is seeing its net worth dwindle.
Billionaires, who now number a record 2,208, have more wealth than ever before, according to an Oxfam International report published Monday. Since the global financial crisis a decade ago, the number of billionaires has nearly doubled.
The annual study was released ahead of the yearly World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which brings together some of the wealthiest and most influential people on Earth. The 106-page report is meant to call attention to the growing gap between rich and poor.
