 commented: “Tax the Rich”……But first I’m gonna go have the time of my life partying with them all at the most extravagant over the top party of the year that is essentially a celebration of richness."

Sorry, AOC: The rich already pay their fair share (nypost.com) . . . "Polls rarely ask these people what a “fair share” looks like. Is a quarter of someone’s earnings enough? A third? Because the rich have been shouldering an increasingly larger share of the cost of government.
"The United States already has one of the most progressive tax systems in the free world. Those who make over $207,350 now pay 35 percent in income tax. Those who make $518,400 or more pay a 37 percent income-tax rate. At some point, taxation should be considered theft."
No, progressive taxation isn’t socialism. But the justifications made for tax hikes these days certainly are. Ocasio-Cortez is a fraud, of course, but it’s her retrograde economic theorizing that’s the real problem. And in this age of populism, increasing numbers of Americans are accepting Marxist conceptions of American life, in which the successful are parasites and everyone else is a victim of their greed....

"Maher first blasted the Met Gala where all of the event staff were wearing masks while the lawmakers and celebrities in attendance did not.

" 'There's something about this that's not liberal to me," Maher said. "Do the germs know who the good people are?"

"He then critiqued the message on Ocasio-Cortez's dress and outlined that "the richest 65,000 New Yorkers out of 8 million people pay 51 percent of taxes.' ". . . 

The Left’s Masked Servants (townhall.com) . . ".During Monday night's annual Met Gala in New York City, where individual tickets cost $30,000 and tables go for $270,000, socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up in a designer white gown with the words "Tax the Rich" in red lettering on the backside. When asked about the message she was trying to send she said, "What it means to be working-class women of color at the Met." Immediately, she exposed herself as a fraud."...
