AOC doubles down on ‘myth’ of earning a billion dollars, claims fortunes are built on ‘abuse’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., reignited her long-standing crusade against the ultra-wealthy Thursday, arguing that billionaires do not legitimately "earn" their fortunes but instead rely on a "myth" to justify their status.

Appearing on comedian Ilana Glazer’s podcast, "It’s Open," the prominent "Squad" member suggested that the very existence of a ten-figure net worth is a policy failure rather than a personal achievement.

"You can’t earn a billion dollars," Ocasio-Cortez told Glazer.
