    If your case for taxation is *moral* - that people just *should not* be enjoying great wealth & conspicuous consumption while others are poor - rather than narrowly fiscal, you shouldn't participate in garish & exclusive wastes of $.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1437749145436106752 …

    What is the clearest and best articulation of the view that AOC has done something hypocritical or wrong by attending the Met gala in a "tax the rich" dress?

        Why does Chait care so much?

        She is partying with people who could be voluntarily paying additional cash to the Treasury if they wished to. Instead, they are having this party, and one of them *sponsored her attendance*.

        The dress is the fashion equivalent of a carbon offset or an indulgence. It is meant to shield her from criticism for engaging in behavior that she clearly enjoys engaging in.

        Vineet Barot Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

        Well said. Especially since she explicitly does not care for balancing the budget. She advocated to remove paygos in the house.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1337962052506312709 …

        Also thank you for caring about PAYGO! It’s a big deal. And yes, PAYGO is 💩 but so much of the party is stuck on it. There needs to be a LOT of organizing around it

        Counter-point is that the moral case is usually made against Billionaires specifically. Not generally wealthy folks doing fancy fundraisers.

        Moreover, she's not stupid when it comes to publicity so she's obviously in on the joke. Which is to say she sold out to be a woke prop for billionaires in exchange for the social media engagement she craves.

        How is she selling out? Is she starting to support budget measures that favor the rich? Or is it just that she's participating in social events instead of being a hermit?

        'paying a fair share' is not the same thing as 'shouldn't enjoy their post-tax wealth'
