So where's the line between an earned salary and an unearned salary? She >>> said
you can earn $100,000 but not $1 billion.
Let's take her at her word! Anything above low-wage blue collar work. If
she would solve the wealth gap with confiscatory personal property
taxes, then all those fancy clothes gifted to her should be taken.
So somewhere between those two numbers is the line between earned and
unearned. She's been challenged to specify that line but she keeps
dodging the question.
Not to mention, her complaints about billionaires don't include J.B.
Pritzker.
Her logic is the same logic employed by Karl Marx himself: the logic of envy. Some people have more than you so scream that it's unjust and
demand your share or else! Better yet, just take it because it was
stolen from you and "justice" demands that you get it back.

AOC: You can't, like, earn a billion dollars!"
KAMALA: But sure can spend a billion dollars in only 107 days!"
