G U C C I 5,154 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I saw an interesting take on Twitter saying that she makes a hell of an ironic point: wearing this to one of the fanciest parties of the year that caters to the rich because at the end of the day them paying their fair share will never prevent them from doing what they’ve always done or stop people from watching them parade their personal wealth around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “equality representation uwu” message is cute but that’s what literally everyone was doing, and it’s kinda shallow after a while. Tax the rich is a direct offense to the right wing and elite who are the real problem. It’s a message with way more guts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ideology believes it’s ok for people to become millionaires as artists or whatever. What she doesn’t believe in is BILlionnaires and getting rich through exploitative business. She also believes both these categories should be heavily taxed. So no, AOC does not believe rich people shouldn’t have rich people events. There are no ethical billionaires, but there can be ethical millionaires according to her and others. She said tax the rich, not stop the rich from existing.

I understand she was there because of the 15% pledge with vogue, but it all fell flat and now she's getting skewered by right and left wingers alike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
