"Capitalism isn’t so bad after all!
Firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come up with a new campaign money-maker: Sell the rich expensive sweatshirts — about taxing the rich.
The Democratic socialist lawmaker’s website is now selling a bunch of pricey apparel with trendy slogans like “Abolish ICE,” “Drink water & don’t be racist” and “Tax the rich.”
The line of merchandise caught the eye of pundits on Twitter who pointed out the hypocrisy of an anti-capitalism legislator coming up with their own clothing line.
“AOC is selling $65 dollar sweatshirts that say ‘tax the rich’ that only rich ppl can afford. Should just say ‘Tax Me,'” wrote user @MattsIdeaShop on Wednesday with a photo of the “Tax the rich” top.
“When you’re aiming for socialism but you hit capitalism,” they added.
Another pundit noted that the 31-year-old progressive icon and “Squad” leader was also a member of the wealthy class given her six-figure congressional income.
“Only the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt,” added Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro.
Among the swag up for grabs is a Green New Deal organic baby onesie for $25, a $28 “abolish ICE” cap and a Green New Deal dog collar for $17.
The proceeds from the apparel don’t go to a charity, but Ocasio-Cortez’s political machine, with a disclaimer on the website warning “Purchases are campaign contributions.”
It appears the price of the USA-made sweatshirt has since been reduced and is now $58."
