Jack Hellner- American Thinker "AOC says that inflation is propaganda. It is just greedy shareholders and greedy corporations raising prices for no reason other than to goose profits.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., shared a video on social media that argued inflation was largely a "propaganda" term by "corporations" looking to avoid fault for high prices.
"The price of everything keeps going up; meanwhile, the corporations selling those things are making massive profits. The goal of the capitalist is to disconnect these two facts from one another. So they use this concept of inflation," the video explained.
The video called inflation an example of "vague-washing," explaining "it can be blamed on anything at all, except for corporate profits, of course."
"And propaganda around inflation and cost of living is so powerful, that we forget the very basic fact that corporations set the prices for their products. If a corporation raises its prices, and then makes record profits, that's not some invisible monster. It's just a bunch of greedy shareholders," the person said.
Here are a few facts.
These are prices on the New York exchange:
Crude oil prices when Biden was elected. $40. Today $86, up 115%.
Unleaded gas: when Biden was elected, $1.12. Today $2.60, up over 130%.
Heating oil the day Biden was elected: $1.20. Today: $3.12, up 160%.
Energy prices affect everything, and this is what happens when Democrats seek to destroy the oil industry by spreading the propaganda that they can control the climate.
Here is a sample of things that are and were propaganda: . . .
