"No one ever makes a billion dollars," according to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.). "You take a billion dollars."
In other words, capitalists get rich by taking money from others. (The trade portion of this agreement--money for an IPhone, for example--is omitted.)
This brilliance is a classic beggar of questions: where does the wealth the rich are stealing come from originally? Like what preceded the Big Bang?
Instead, the statement immediately jumps to the redistribution solution, as if it had some basis in fact. But it has the philosophical depth of a North Korean ransomware scheme or a Viking raider. The thief is 'redistributing' but even he is honest enough to recognize it's theft.
In fact, the presentation of this shallow assessment is so groundless, it defies patient refutation. And it is no dumber than tipping Guam over with too many Marines or Pelosie's Schrödinger's Bill we have to pass so we can see what's in it.
Stupidity whose only unifying point is politicians. Unless, of course, it is calculated.
