"No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars," the freshman congresswoman, who goes by "AOC," told author Ta-Nehisi Coates. "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars," the freshman congresswoman, who goes by "AOC," told author Ta-Nehisi Coates at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event this week."I'm Joe Billionaire," he said. "I made widgets. I sold those widgets. I made billions of dollars ... therefore those billions of dollars are mine.
"You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages," she continued. Billionaires make their money "off the backs" of undocumented immigrants, minorities, and single mothers who are all "literally dying because they can't afford to live," she added.
Now, I don't quite agree to what she's saying. Honestly, how ignorant
There are neurons in her brain that needs connecting. 🤦♂️
Who do they take money from?
Some people in fact do create things on their own or in small groups and get billions of dollars because of it.
or you‘re paid a billion dollars for a product or service you provide
She is a bartender... like Maduro was a bus driver... ! But the more crazy is media like Business Insider that put attention of stupid people like that.
Well that’s just not how economy works
I want a billion. Come on workers, please
If you had an electronic Easter basket how much money could you collect in a day !!!!!!!! This is why some people are immerging and you say, I have never heard of them. They immerge billionaires !!!!!
Leaders are waking up to people and placing a Leave On A Cling On The person gets sick and then try's to locate the leader and they ask for their life back. The leader then asks for all their money !!!
Billionaires are just well adapted parasites. We can admire their specialised talents, but their existence is almost always detrimental to their host organism without whom they wouldn't exist.
I’d like to meet someone who both hates rich people and turns down salary increases.
Same argument can be made for members of Congress, right? They are also making their money off of the backs of all the people including those she referenced in the article.
Well let’s test this. Name a billionaire? Let’s start with Mark Zuckerberg, didn’t he screw his partners over? Trump 1973, violations of the fair housing act. Andrew Carnegie hired 300 Pinkerton men to kill coal miners. Anybody else? EverydayFinance
WayneH__ This is actually one of the best ways I've ever heard this phrased.
Utter clown - speaking to her equally comical base.
Well. Socialists like you do that... AOC
Finally someone else is interested in people. There is a way to get Rich and help others.
That’s not true. If you make an invention like the light bulb you can make a billion dollars off of your invention in profits and spend a billion on employees and equipment and marketing doing it. AOC not all billionaires are bad. Some excellent: MikeBloomberg TomSteyer
Oh shaddup
She’s aged 10 years in the last year. Not in intelligence she’s actually younger, around 12 in that regard.
I respect you AOC but don't be this kind of dumb bro!!
😂
Business Insider gets zero respect for putting this out continuously. Unfollow
She needs help.
Amazon is a case she is wrong
No one with the Intelligence of a 4th grader you mean. Regular smart and hard working people actually do. That’s actually what this country was founded on.
I am so pleased shes American so we can call her a fruit loop
She is all complaining.. sit down ghurl!
Sorry. All I can say is a WOW!
Maybe she should remind herself what a free market economy is and countries that participate in the practice.
🤦🏻♂️
Taking is what the government does.
She's one of those workers that doesnt do shit at work...but makes a lot of noise by complaining. And soon she'll be a multi millionaire because she'll become a tool for the billionaire and be happy about it. 😊😊😊😊
Bit generic. Bet she wrote it on her HP laptop on a word document made by Microsoft. They add value and get paid respectively
“Economics degree.”
Total truth
Yes! Unequality is bigger and bigger that no one can still stop it and give some solution for it. In scandinavian countries, 40 percent tax from the employees are taken by government and the political leaders give too much intervention and take away human rights from the people.
Oluwasegunrex ... just like I tweeted earlier.
Wrong in every language.
Just like Chavez did
Words of Wisdom
We are so proud of our girl
Exactly!
You become what you think.
This is incorrect. The people who work at the treasury make a billion dollars because it is they who print the money. Ha Ha Ha
There are trillionaires already so what is she babbling about?
Lol, it's there any gray matter in-between her ears? Or it's just an echo chamber?
Why not? Ray Dalio makes way over 1 billion bucks in his comp
& this is why she'll remain broke Well that's compared to billionaires of course.
What an absolute tool she is.
I'm so tired of this brokie
