Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez säger att ingen kan tjäna en miljard dollar

Kongressledamoten Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hävdade att individer inte legitimt kan tjäna en miljard dollar genom sina egna ansträngningar. Hon gjorde uttalandena under en poddintervju och följde upp med ett inlägg på X.

Under ett avsnitt av podden ”It’s Open” med komikern Ilana Glazer, uttalade sig Ocasio-Cortez om att miljardärer samlar på sig rikedom genom att vinna marknadsmakt, bryta mot regler, missbruka arbetsrättslagar och betala arbetare mindre än vad de är värda. Hon tillade att sådana individer måste skapa en myt kring sina inkomster eftersom pengarna inte var genuint förtjänade.
