so has Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, all got richer as elected people in congress.
It pays to be a democrat and a lifelong civil servant it seems
Not surprising to hear that. She’s the darling of most leftists. And left wing media isn’t going to give her a hard time.

No question about that, Pelosi in particular.
She is a complete moron, but most of the left wing media treat her like a rock star. I didn’t watch the interview with Anderson Cooper, but from reading Twitter it sounds like Cooper actually asked her some challenging (for her) questions, such as how will we pay for her socialist utopia.
To me she appears both ignorant and borderline out of her mind most of the time.
She’s got those “crazy eyes” that always put normal people on alert whenever she’s asked a question.
I’ve always wondered who’s actually pulling her strings.
Honestly she reminds me of some bad sci fi characters the premise behind whom is that they are being controlled remotely and that their own consciousness only manages to peek through occasionally when the signals are interrupted.
I seriously wonder if she’s got an earpiece by which herr staff feeds herr one liners.
Ah, c’mon Joanne, you’re only saying that because you are “afraid” of her. 
The best defense liberals can come up with for her is that we are afraid of her when we point how stupid she and her ideas are.
Yes, they say we are obsessed with her, but the fact is it’s the media with the obsession. Why would 60 Minutes choose her for their first interview of a freshman member of Congress?
You could be right about the earpiece. From what I’ve heard, Cooper actually challenged her on things, I didn’t think it would be anything other than a softball interview. That’s probably what she was counting on as well.
His challenges were thin broth at best, not even good soup. I watched about as much of the lickfest as I could stand.
Well, even asking her how she planned to pay for her socialist crap was a challenging question I didn’t think he’d ask.
He already knew her answer which is idiocy and he didn’t challenge her on it.
I would pay good money to see that. 
I hereby not only pledge to pay to see the debate but up one you on donating

Dad Nabbit, I thought I was brilliant today for thinking of “Occasio Cortex” why? Because she’s still hoping for one!
And you went and beat me to it!

Sorry about that. 
Nonsense. There are plenty of liberals in Hollyweird and professional sports who make more than they do. They don’t envy those people. Just those who are successful and don’t subscribe to their ideology. Who do you think comes up with most of the rules for the deductions/exemptions/earned income credit etc. to abuse those who pay taxes in order to redistribute to those who don’t? It isn’t Republicans. They just cut taxes.
Poll after poll shows about 90% of the public identifying the “rich” at those who make more than they do at a given level above theirs.
Most people in the bottom 20% literally think anyone making 100k is “rich” and it just goes up from there.
Has Ocasio-Cortez defined what “rich” is or what the income one has to earn to be considered “rich”
Is she aware that there is no way Congress will introduce taxing anybody up to 70%? even with the tax deductions and brackets it wont add up to 70% plus even if she convinced Congress and they dumb enough to do how many rich people would stay in America?
All she has to do is look at Sweden in the 1980’s and the UK in the 1970’s , the rich left in droves in those country when the government raised the taxes to 70% and beyond.
Is this woman stupid?
It’s all a matter of perspective. 20 years ago I thought people who make what I make now were rich. Little did I know…
