The So-Called Problem of the Capitalist System Breeding Billionaires

Bernie Sander and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are running around the country promoting socialism by, among other things, attacking the capitalist system for creating billionaires.

Here is AOC talking total nonsense (one minute and 38-second clip).



On a side note, AOC babbled about people in Alabama suffering from ringworm.

Here is what AL.com had to say about that:
Ocasio-Cortez made the statements during a Martin Luther King Day event. When asked about economic systems that allowed billionaires, she said such a system was immoral if it existed “when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health..."

Ringworm is a common skin infection that’s easily treated...

According to the Mayo Clinic, ringworm is a common fungal infection characterized by a red circular rash. Despite its name, no actual worm is involved. It is spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal and is akin to athlete’s foot or jock itch...

The Alabama Department of Public Health lists ringworm as a reportable disease, though it’s only tracked for outbreaks as opposed to individual cases. ADPH listed three outbreaks in the last six years, but did not detail how many cases were included.

But back in 1975, when taking on millionaires was all the rage, on the Phil Donahue Show, Milton Friedman set one anti-millionaire, economically clueless, woman, straight (two minute and 31-second clip):
