Once again, Republicans show their asses, roaring fake outrage at AOC's "tax the rich" dress at a fancy-pants gala while also doing everything to fight against her efforts to actually tax the rich. Via Jonathon Chait:
Her agenda is not based on a moral critique of the rich, but a rather banal observation that rich people can stand to have less money in order to finance social needs for those in greater need.
Indeed, the whole idea that the Democratic Party’s rationale for more progressive taxation is based on personal moral condemnation of the rich is almost entirely a canard invented by the right. First conservatives accuse liberals of hating and wishing to punish the rich, and then turn around and accuse them of hypocrisy for violating the belief they never actually held.
Plus, she's pretty bangin' in that dress nom nom nom!
