Who has proposed that nobody should be rich?
Ocasio-Cortez said it was wrong that America "allows billionaires to exist."

With all due respect, her full quote has a conditional whereby the same society allows for others to live in abject poverty. In other words, let’s collectively try to focus on the bottom half before worrying much more about the tippy top.

I'm all for collectively focusing on the bottom half. But if that's truly your policy, why even mention billionaires? I don't think she'd be that clumsy in expressing her message. So I think we should assume that what she said is her message.

How do you take that to mean that no one should be rich? Is Billionaire now the threshold one must cross to be considered rich?
