Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
500k in assets is not rich. Jesus Christ, stop fucking crying all over this thread.
I’ve noticed them posting all over every thread recently, yet to see a good take.
I’ll bet a case of beer that you never will.
But that’s what conservatives do? Whine about everything without any facts.
Careful, your privilege is showing. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, and you’re completely out of touch with reality
Tell us, oh financial genius, what is the exact $ number of assets held that constitutes “rich”?
Its not up to me. Its up to what most people would consider rich.
Most people live paycheck to paycheck and many have net worth in negatives.
Still waiting, big guy.
While you’re at it, let’s see the source for this claim.
Which is what number, exactly? Back your claim up.
Apparent it’s any dollar amount over 10 bucks a year and anyone who can invest any amount in a 401k.
Says the guy posting on Lemmy in the middle of the work day.
Oh, I’m rich. I know it. I dont pretend not to be rich.
Careful you’re privilege will start showing as you find leisure time through the working day. People might start thinking your some bougie asshole.
Being privliged isnt being evil. Its when you’re not aware of your own privileges and it affects your decisions (especially as a law maker) that its an issue
Says the bougie asshole lecturing people about being poor and not understanding how actual people live.
Lol yeah a bougie asshole wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving food
The bourgeoisie class is a subset of rich people

Yeah, I’m sure you really wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving there Mr Liar in Chief.
I’m not lecturing people about being poor. I’m calling out the person who is privileged and doesn’t recognize their own privilege
Based on what?
