Ocasio-Cortez Determined to Eliminate Billionaires [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 27 Jan 2019 | John Semmens

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) continues her assault on the immorality of allowing billionaires to exist. "Most of the people in the world today and throughout human history have been poor," she pointed out. "Subsistence living is the normal condition for all of God's creatures. The Pope recognizes this. Ecological science recognizes this. Billionaires are unnatural and environmentally dangerous."

"The argument that the opportunity to make billions is a spur to the innovations that have made life for most Americans relatively luxurious has never tempted me to consider compromising with the greed that this engenders," the Congresswoman said. "I have always believed that the best things in life are free. That's why I'm pushing so hard for free health care, free education, free rent—basically, free everything."

"Think about how relieving everyone of the need to worry about having the money to buy things will improve the world," she continued. "No one would be forced to work if they didn't want to. Say goodbye to the morning alarm clock rousting you out of bed. Say goodbye to the commuter rat race. Say goodbye to the tyrannical boss who confiscates your leisure time. This is what the majority of voters want. This is why socialism will sweep aside all nonbelievers."

"Even if the naysayers' are right and the economy collapses, the planet will benefit," Ocasio-Cortez added. "If America's 300 million population is winnowed down to 300 thousand global warming will no longer be a threat. Habitat for wildlife will expand. Humans could resume their natural niche in the struggle for survival. Technology will no longer warp the way our species lives. Would this not be the Garden of Eden?"

Her political benefactor, George Soros, may not like her plans to steal his money. All those billionaires she hopes to destroy may have different plans for her and her future in politics or anything else this airhead plans to do. This Marxist Liberal airhead may want to tread lightly on her idiotic plans.

The most effective means to shrink disparity in income and wealth is the empowerment of individuals to self determine and better their lives through their own dreams, ambitions, and efforts. It is the success, innovation, and contributions of individuals that leads to progress in the world - not the iron-fisted top-down elitism-driven idiocy of ‘progressivism’.

Sweden, whose economic model AOC praised, has twice as many billionaires per capita than the US, whose economic model she calls immoral for having too many billionaires.
