The former part-time bartender who magically became an expert on everything upon her socialist-funded election t the US House, is absolutely CLUELESS about how the macro-economy works, especially for the middle and lower classes.

What AOC’s Latest Viral Instagram Rant Gets Wrong About Billionaires and Capitalism
Say what you will about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but she’s never shy to share her beliefs. The far-left Democratic congresswoman has been especially open with her dislike for billionaires, attacking them many times in the past. AOC’s latest viral Instagram video renews her campaign against the rich, this time, with a twist—she essentially says only billionaires support capitalism because they’re the only ones who benefit.
“Let me tell you a secret,” the congresswoman said. “Most people don’t really know what capitalism is. Most people don’t even know what socialism is.”
“But most people are not capitalists, because they don’t have capitalist money—they’re not billionaires,” she concluded.
