Perhaps thats why Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez struck such a chord with the Fashion Statement heard round the world at one of the most opulent events of the year. And to aocs credit, just a few days later, President Biden seemed to echo her sentiments. People with tens of millions of dollars. They play by a different set of rules. Where is it written with all the Tax Breaks in The American Tax Code go to corporations at the very top. I think its enough. Im tired of it. Meanwhile, as democrats plow full steam ahead on their econ
