[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AOC constantly cites the simultaneous existence of extreme luxury and poverty as a moral failing and as justification for her proposed redistributive policies.

Once you realize, however, that, within a moral context, there is no meaningful distinction between “extreme luxury” and “excess” in relation to eliminating poverty it’s clear she is undermining her own position.

No different than Bernie or Al Gore insiting on private jet travel while asserting climate change is an extinction level challenge.

Once you realize that collective action is the omly solution to collective problems, you'll stop focusing supposed hypocrisies and start focusing on policies.  If you believe that polticians'living quarters has a detrimental effect on policy, then I suggest you propose legislation that all Congressmembers have to live in government barracks, and that the White House be torn down and replaced with affordable housing.

Funny, this issue only comes up with Democratic politicians though.  Apparently, republican politicians get to do whatever they want because they don't give a crap about anybody else anyway.  [/quote]
