While on the stage doing a Q&A, AOC told the race-obsessed author that a system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral if there are people suffering due to poverty.
"I do think that a 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 is wrong," Ocasio-Cortez said.
AOC was careful not to call billionaires themselves immoral, but the economic system that allowed them to grow and develop their wealth is itself a problem for our society.
"I don't think that necessarily means that all billionaires are immoral," she added.
"It's not to say someone like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet are immoral people. I don't believe that."
I wish Ocasio-Cortez would put herself in a position to be asked about whether or not people who work hard to earn their money should be able to keep it, or explain why wealthy people's private charities are far more helpful than any government program.
I'd also like it asked of her if she'd be willing to reduce the pay she's receiving from the people in light of her views on wealth.
