    Oh good grief not only did she claim having billionaires is "immoral" she tried to diss the South and the state of Alabama with this idiotic statement

    "
    LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WITH ENDLESS RINGWORM
    She continued, “…I do think the system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama, where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health. That is wrong. And I think it’s wrong that."

    Ahhh people all over the country still get ringworm and it can be treated with over the counter medication. I bet she thinks we all still go barefoot down here while we build the rocket ships and vehicles that take us into space and the Airbus A-300's and the advance littoral combat ships and some of the best cars made in the country.

    Yeah, I think she screwed up and said 'Ringworm' when she meant 'Hookworm'. Ringworm isn't a parasitic disease, it's a fungal infection.

    Hookworm on the other hand

    I know she means well, but she really needs to get her facts straight if she is going to make proclamations like that.

    Any mind that wants to rid the world of billionaires in order to treat any disease, ringworm or otherwise, is neither wise nor compassionate.

    Exactly.

    She obviously meant "hookworm".

    And, totally LMAO at the ridiculous source of this article.

    Referring Cortez as "Mao" shows how utterly ludicrous that a RW COMEDY Site (like Independent Sentinel) really is.

    Well, if she ain’t Mao, it’s genetic, not ideological.

    Personally, I loved that she was so specific with the end of the world.

    Not "a decade or two". Not "10-20 years".

    No.

    12 years.

    I almost **** myself laughing.

    If you are going to make such statements get your facts straight, and event the hookworm was an isolated case.

    The audacity to make that comment and yet to defend Trump unendingly.

    Also, why is the right so obsessed with AOC?

    No kidding.

    How could anybody who supports Trump accuse others of not having their "facts straight".

    Trump LIES 24/7. And when he isn't lying, he is making things up as he goes along.

    She's the best stand up comedy we've had in years.

    Finding someone dumber than Hank Johnson was a tall task, but Democrats pulled it off.

    I bet Politifact rates her 12 year end-of-the-world claim "mostly true."

    I sent her a Tweet asking what day of the week it falls on.

    Haven't gotten a response yet.

    I don’t think you got the message she was trying to communicate.

    The idea is that why do we have billionaires when their are people who are still poor enough to get things like Hookworm.

    It was an example, not the primary reason

    She's a gold mine.

    I can't wait to see how far left she tries to push the DNC, and the hilarity that will ensue from that.

    She's not smart enough to shut up and listen and learn, she's just going to keep blurting stuff out.

    Better than Pelosi and Waters talking about problems working with President Bush and about the Russians invading Korea.

    Maybe we could do an experiment and put a hookworm afflicted person in charge of Microsoft, then sit back and watch.

    You wouldn’t have time to watch because he could afford treatment as fast as possible.

    That’s kind of the whole point of this

    She's a product of her progressive bubble. Clearly those things aren't actually in Alabama for god's sake..... I mean, how could they be given the derisive and offensive smugness of the AOC?

    So many folks in the bubble can only "imagine" the south because they've watched a few movies. They literally have no idea what happens down the block, let alone a half continent away from them....

    You know a great way to prevent ringworm? Don’t allow people who have took a caravan from South America enter our country illegally

    No no no. I mean, do we put someone who thinks it's a good idea to run an open sewage pipe into their kids play area in charge of such a company?

    If you don't see the problem with running an open sewage pipe into your yard that gave you the hookworm in the first place, how is that person going to run a fortune 500 company?

    Another good way is to not play in the open sewage you're dumping into your yard.

    Oh, I disagree. It's obvious she believes wealth falls like mana from heaven and it's just a matter of redistribution and setting priorities.

    Why are some wealthier than others: Because some are excellent at what they do; others suck. That's capitalism, the greater your value; the greater your reward. You know, life. Getting rid of billionaires will not make the stupid, smart; the weak, strong: the lazy, ambitious; the sick, healthy; the poor, rich; or the homeless, kings in a castle. But it will make us all Venezuelans.
