    So where's the line between an earned salary and an unearned salary? She >>>> said
    you can earn $100,000 but not $1 billion.

    Let's take her at her word! Anything above low-wage blue collar work. If >>> she would solve the wealth gap with confiscatory personal property
    taxes, then all those fancy clothes gifted to her should be taken.

    So somewhere between those two numbers is the line between earned and >>>> unearned. She's been challenged to specify that line but she keeps
    dodging the question.

    Not to mention, her complaints about billionaires don't include J.B.
    Pritzker.

    Her logic is the same logic employed by Karl Marx himself: the logic of
    envy. Some people have more than you so scream that it's unjust and
    demand your share or else! Better yet, just take it because it was
    stolen from you and "justice" demands that you get it back.

    AOC: You can't, like, earn a billion dollars!"

    KAMALA: But sure can spend a billion dollars in only 107 days!"

    AOC: "I have nothing to say about Platner being accused of abusing women nicely because his campaign on not my priority"
    (paraphrased)

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.
