Another Outrageous Charge

I almost feel bad mocking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It’s not nice to make fun of morons, and she’s the embodiment. But a classic dolt’s inability to keep to herself defines her beliefs and everything else. A recent AOC all-star diatribe reveals what she and those of similar intellectual capacities think about life itself to the point that exposing oneself to the toxicity is justified as a cautionary learning experience. She doesn’t protect Earth, either.

I’m loath to present AOC’s words unedited for the discomfort spurred by exposure to such wretched mendaciousness. A Terrifier movie seems soothing by comparison. Art the Clown is less disturbing in his honesty and more honest in apparel.But the erstwhile bartender and present pinko wrecks her case when she’s allowed to elaborate about her oh so fascinating beliefs. The First Amendment functions as a free market where those with shoddy ideas harm their goals by discussing them, which is another reason leftists hate it. So, let her ramble:

The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers.

If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual — it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems.

The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale.

We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability.

Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated — these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

Wondering which East German textbook she plagiarized is merely my first thought. An alarmingly depressing mission statement deserves to be disregarded. But I must sadly remind everyone about a shame that will forever mar this nation, namely that AOC holds power. Her typically unhinged ranting summarizes her side. That’s the opposite of a compliment. Anything she contributes is inadvertent as a result of offering an example to avoid.

The toughest part about replying to AOC is figuring out what bit of emblematic idiocy to respond to first. Trying to stuff responses through a funnel can overwhelm. The editorial process allows for prioritizing in a rational manner she can’t comprehend.

Most notably, it’d be funny to think of believing an employer can steal from someone hired if she didn’t mean it. A voluntary alliance on both sides violates half of participants. AOC has taken up their cause whether they want her to or not. They don’t.

Nobody is in position to rip off others as long as there are options. Pretending companies are abusing power is mortifying while serving as prototypical projection. Noting the benefits of competition for consumers and workers offers a chance to review the basics or in her case lean them for the first time.

She’s never created value and it shows. Feeling emboldened enough to brag about being a useless grifter is an opportunity that ironically only exists because AOC has already gotten some of her way. Democrats figure everyone who has a little cash also accumulated it by siphoning.

Not condemning actual theft is a nice complementary touch. In fact, excusing away felonies is party policy. Democrats create cities where Batman doesn’t even bother to try by doing everything they can to release criminals. Refusing to punish wrongdoers offers an example of how incentives work in its way. Accompany the demonization of imprisonment by vowing to make exceptions for any fiend who commits the crime of running a thriving enterprise.

Those who feel they’re underpaid can’t do anything like work elsewhere. If labor is valuable, someone will pay for it. But Democrats think every industry is a scheming sham like the way they run Washington. Jealousy as policy leads to fewer successful individuals to resent.

People who make getting overpaid by taxpayers into a career think you’re underpaid. You’re not smart and clever enough to seize an office like they are. But the singularly gifted magnanimously help those cursed with inferior abilities and charm. It’s almost like workers and employers negotiate a mutually acceptable pay rate. But you possess insufficient capacity to realize you were voluntarily getting ripped off the whole time. We sure are lucky Democratic politicians tell us what we don’t know.

The solution is the cause. That’s quite the yin-yang paradox. Liberals engineer such defiances of reality constantly. The opposite of what’s indented occurring is tricky for AOC to grasp, who’s an affiliate of an ideology based in claiming something happens means it does. The belief system itself disproves its basis. You surely remember when everyone got free awesome health care with nothing more than Barack Obama’s signature.

Victims never think to thank perpetrators. The ingrates will just collect assistance to cope with ends that somehow never meet. Sure, many might not need to get benefits if government didn’t confiscate so much. But treasure is only plundered from, and we know those targeted never hire or spend. Democrats hate the rich to the point where they ensure nobody else can join them.

Making some wealthy jerk pay is supposed to offer comfort to the rabble. But he in turn can’t pay you more when he’s forced to fund coerced redistribution engineered by megalomaniacal legislators who build nothing. Solving fire with napalm will extinguish this time.

There is an entity taking advantage of you. Democrats are the only ones surprised by the twist. Taxing the stuffing out of you for the crime of earning is a ripoff in a way an earned payday isn’t. You may have heard there’s no option to decline. I suspect the inability to shop elsewhere is connected to infamously ghastly service. It’s too bad there’s no way to confirm like the same thing happening every freaking time it’s tried. Government couldn’t be more inefficient if it were trying to prove National Review’s editorial statement.

Democratic politicians are hopeless to the point where they can’t even conceive of being useful. It’s one thing to not do anything worth selling and another to presume everyone else is an idler. A lack of empathy turns to coercion. That basic twisted approach to economics, politics, and decency leads to telling people they get ripped off going to work.

Class warfare soldiers think this is a world of ripoffs. They then try their hardest to make it so. People who get rich by ripping off taxpayers act the way they pretend people who create value do. Trying to demotivate everyone else is their contribution to the collective. AOC wants everyone as miserable as she is.
