The Democrats are constantly rattling on about getting the rich to pay their “fair share” in taxes, even though the percentages one must pay in federal income tax rise with one’s income.
Yet in this, as in so very much else, leftists are total hypocrites. The latest example of this rampant hypocrisy is none other than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Workers’ Paradise), who has just been ordered to pony up fair market price for the infamous “Tax the Rich” dress she wore to the 2021 Met Gala.
Yes, that was four years ago. Yes, in this case the wheels of justice have ground exceedingly slowly, but since we’re talking about a leading leftist here and the notorious two-tier justice system that still exists, though it is not nearly as strong and unapologetic as it was during the dark days of the Biden regime, we should be grateful that they grind at all.
The New York Times reported Friday that AOC “personally paid about $1,000 to rent the dress and accessories. But in a report released on Friday, the bipartisan House Ethics Committee concluded her initial payment had fallen short of the fair market rate, violating House rules.”
