Tax the Rich!

Expect lots of rich people to now wear similar statements. It simply screams "I'm rich. I'm cool. Ain't gonna happen anyway."

If I were to offer my primary complaint about Democrat economic policy (and I actually have several) it would be that they tend to confuse stock and flow concepts. That, and the “millionaires and billionaires” thing, as if there were anything to link the two. But these are of course relatively minor quibbles.

Reactions to the House Democrat's attire were split between those who called it hypocritical and others who supported the political message. The Met Gala is an exclusive event that features $35,000 tickets.

Well, they certainly both deserve the "red carpet photo of the week" award

Yes, indeed, "both." I like the way Aurora James' expression says "You aren't looking at the dress, are you, boys?"

When you say “both”, there is also the small matter of the young woman in red, who does not appear to be wearing any undergarments.

Don't worry, it was only a show. She doesn't want to tax the rich https://thehill.com/news/house/3469582-four-republicans-four-democrats-vote-no-on-bill-urging-biden-to-confiscate-assets-from-sanctioned-oligarchs/

Eight House lawmakers voted against a largely symbolic bill on Wednesday that urges President Biden to confiscate assets from sanctioned Russian oligarchs and use the funds to support Ukraine.

The legislation, dubbed the Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act, passed in a 417-8 vote.

The lawmakers who voted against the bill are among the most liberal and most conservative members of the House.

Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) voted against the bill.

I guess Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez want only to tax us.
