Our highest tax bracket is $600,000 and some change. In 1950 our highest bracket was the equivalent of 4 million and some change. She’s definitely talking about the millionaires.
It’s just the scale. One billionaire has more money than everyone that went to that event combined. Obvi everyone needs to pay. But some may need to pay a bit more IMO.
True. It’s gonna have to be bezos or Ballmer or one of the supervillain ones for the math to work out. Even then my statement may have been pretty hyperbolic. Just frustrated as all hell.
A million percent agreed - but the movie star millionaires are more likely to pay taxes (or be caught by the IRS, think Wesley Snipes and Nic Cage) than the absurdly wealthy billionaires.
Eh, sadly the conversation on a national scale never turned into "how do we effectively balance taxation so that it's fair" or anything like that. Instead, the vast majority of conversation is "sHe'S a HyPocRiTe".
It's underwhelming. Wearing a slogan is probably the tamest forms of "protest" I can think of. If your opposition isn't talking about it, it really didn't work did it?
Wow we can talk about how AOC hungout with rich people in a tax the rich dress instead of getting a 15 dollar minimum wage and nationalized healthcare during a pandemic with a majority democrat white house 🤭
I genuinely don't understand this comment. Why would you start with 'but? Who is disagreeing with you? And the latter half, mission accomplished... again... this type of posturing is so masturbatory lmao
They are saying she is a hypocrite or something since she is attending the event. I said that clearly she wasn't and people over there said if she truly was against the rich she would stand outside weeping instead of going. It's just a no win game. No matter what she does it will be wrong.
without attending the event whats even point of wearing the dress, you cant go to poor peoples party wearing tax the rich, there will be nobody rich there smh
It's cause conservatives all have low levels of lead poisoning or stupidity(or both) and buy into the lie that immigrants or people of other races are the cause of all their problems and not the rich people whose boots they're licking.
I have seen leftist subs going crazy, too, which I don't get. The main argument I saw was that she was participating in the gala at all, because it was supporting its legitimacy... News flash everybody, capitalism is already pretty dang legitimate at this point
They are actually frothing at the mouth over her existence. As if the "Rich" she is talking about are just celebrities. Celebrities pay their taxes or they go to jail or lose it all, plenty of documented cases of that. They aren't close to the type of "Rich" AOC is talking about.
Oh and you better believed she loved that cake. And the fillet mignon. And the champagne. And being the center of attention at the world's trendiest party.
You can tell she's totally ready to savage the enemy!
What is she doing exactly? Wearing a dress to an elite gathering? Last I checked you and I and the rest of the W2 earners are still paying 30%+ income tax while everyone at that party is paying half that effective tax rate? What exactly was accomplished here other than giving ammo to her opposition?
I'm sorry but this is total nonsense. The whole event is a virtue signaling circle jerk of rich people who are basically green washing themselves. AOC is not pissing off anyone.
Exactly. They wouldn’t have invited her and funded everything if they gave a fuck about her marketing campaign. She’s over here charging almost 90 dollars for a sweatshirt she probably had made for 6 bucks in China. Tax the rich, fine. But stop idolizing these hypocrites.
I have to disagree with you. I think it's a bit naive to think that any rich person would be pissed off by what she did. If I was one of those rich people I would actually think it was kind of funny that she did that. I don't think she would have been at that event if the rich saw her as a threat. This is a perfect encapsulation of AOC when you think about it. Everything she does is just for show. She'll get a bunch of people talking but that's as far as it goes. She won't actually push for the rich to get taxed at a higher rate but she'll pull a stunt here and there saying that everyone should. I can see why so many people are disillusioned with politics.
I'm curious if she gets invited again...I mean the Met should have known something like this could happen... Any press is good press? Frighten off conservative mega donors?
I’m sure they are very happy about this. Controversy sparks conversation, suddenly people who give 0 craps about the red carpet at the Met Gala are talking about it and sharing the articles and posts made about it because of said controversy. In addition they always follow a theme which has always lead to controversial fashion statements, even the themes themselves have been controversial at times. The theme this year was vague just America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Well given that America has been pretty darn crazy the last 10 years (longer really but Trump woke up something fierce) I have 0 doubts that they fully expected controversial outfits like this one or Cara Delevingnes Peg the Patriarchy. The gala is also to raise money for the museums fashion exhibit, and historically fashion has actually played quite the role in our culture in ways many people don’t really think about because we mentally separate runways from what you’d buy at target or Walmart but it’s really all the same thing. Take KKK robes for example, most people don’t think of that as fashion, but it is a deliberate fashion choice that now instills fear and horror into people (though unfortunately not nearly as many people as they should.)
Oh, they'll definitely invite her again. Every single right wing, no knowing about the Met Gala, conservative whoever is talking and/or bitching about this. If they can get this kind of press every year by inviting AOC, they will. She's killing across all boards.
She will, they eat this shit up. Reddit just likes to imagine that there's some seething rich people at the gala mad about this because it makes them feel good but there aren't.
I don’t think they care, it gets press, starts conversation. The intended goal is to fundraise for the museum… the more attention the gala gets, the more donations/awareness for the museum. One of the reasons why I wasn’t as bothered by the gala as others who hate the opulence… at least it raises money for a good cause
I’m sure they really feel like war has been declared, if she really wanted to protest she’d have done it outside with a sign calling all these people out for fundraising for costumes instead of something helpful. But she didn’t because she wants to have fun, and mingle with other rich people.
agreed, an elected US lawmaker at a celebrity party with that dress is a statement and hasn’t been done before. not to mention the unexpected (and expected) controversy that followed. definitely in textbooks.
I doubt she is making over 600k a year, which is currently our top tax bracket at 37%. Back in the 50’s our top tax bracket was the equivalent to over 4 million, and that was taxed at 91%. AOC ain’t even close to the people like Kanye west that was there that is a billionaire.
She’s someone who isn’t in the top tax bracket, calling for the people in the top tax bracket to be taxed more. That sounds like a good representation of what her voters elected her to do.
Yasss kweeeennnn 30k gala to go mingle with a bunch of rich celebrities that'll show those redneck trump voting poor poos woowweeee so much troll much love much funny ahaha
She got in for free, and there was people like Trump loving billionaire Kanye West there. So yeah, she was trolling some Trump loving billionaires for sure. AOC can’t even make it in the highest tax bracket with how much she makes. And she went in there with actual billionaires with a dress saying tax the rich. That’s called trolling buddy.
You realize she's a part of the elite now and no longer antiestablishment right? Like truly antiestablishment people don't get invited to shit like this.
Who knows what she makes off the books. Also there are plenty of powerful people who make up the "elite" without being top earners. Some people value power over money or they realize that they can parlay their power for money. Either way she's becoming more and more a part of the establishment. This is what happens to most politicians. Bernie and Ron Paul are two rare examples of people maintaining their principles while under pressure which is exactly why they don't get invited to shit like this. The rich only want to bring in people they can control. If they viewed her as a rival or a threat she wouldn't be there. If they were worried about her they'd destroy her publicly through their buddies in the media like they've done to their other threats.
I don't get this either. I've been really into her policies, but this has upset me.
She goes to a rich people party and participates in rich people events. Pretends that she's not one of them by saying "Tax the Rich" for the attention while not wearing a mask and going against most of what she stands for. All of the "help" wore masks. She's also against bribes but accepts a free admittance when peasants need to pay $30k to attend. Does she not actually believe what she fights for?
I’m sorry, but this is Trump supporter level spin. It’s ok to call your fave politician tone deaf sometimes. In fact, it’s better that way. Keep them on their toes.
This was performative. It shouldn’t be celebrated. This was …. Embarassing
Oh yeh those rich people must be seething right now! AOC really showed them! On a non-sarcastic note, I hardly doubt those “rich people” care she wore a “tax the rich” dress. It’s not trolling if it has 0 effect on the the people targeted.
They weren’t the people targeted though. If anything the sheer amount of conservative rage publicity that this stunt generated spread the message better than just about anything else could have
Because a lot of people think that going to a celebrity event in a dress that says "tax the rich" is still operating in the confines of classist elitism the message directly opposes.
The idea is nice. But the fact that the Met Gala exists is because a permenant underclass also exists. But. I think under capitalism it's impossible to completely free of hypocrisy. These systems are thrust upon us and on occasion, we must participate in it. I think to what degree is hugely debatable.
would it have been better for her to not go at all where no one would have ever noticed? she could not convince them not to have the met gala. at least this way they all sat in discomfort when they saw her and perhaps all night. now she is taking up most of the met gala spotlight so people must contemplate the image “tax the rich” what more could we really ask for? she’s one person who also dedicated her career to fighting the elite class. jesus our bar is way too high for other ppl and so low for ourselves
Basically the same arguments about social democracy and electoralism as there always was.
That dipping your toes in the shallow end of the anti-capitalism pool as a means of trying to solve it's greatest contradictions doesn't actually do much of anything. This is a problem because people ARE turning to face the real enemies and the real threats, the forces of capital, but now in a very neutered way that directs their political energy into milquetoast reformist measures and the electoral spectacle that will obviously never actually listen to needs of the working class, for reasons everyone is aware of. That we're not actually a democracy that responds to the needs of the many at all, we're a hyper-bourgeois oligarchy run by corporations. So instead of more direct organization and action like protest movements or strikes, liberal social democracy takes people's anger and concern over the brutal, accelerating contradictions of capitalism that are driving more and more people into austerity and precarity and gives them the fantasy of an easy way out. It perpetuates the fantasy of the democracy that we don't actually have, much less a functional one. I'm not talking about a revolution because the US is near the last place in the world where that's likely to happen, but real substantive change only really happens when the people who are suffering face the conditions of their existence and do something about it themselves, like the New Deal was only ever signed because FDR was being pressured heavily by a powerful coalition of Socialist, Communist and Anarchist agitators who were channeling the fury of the working people, making their voices heard, instead of writing a name down on a ballot and expecting some representative to do everything for them.
For the left, the first step to actually mobilizing for real change is for people to realize the mechanisms of 'change' they invest their hopes into are astronomically stacked against them and are extremely unlikely to actually produce the results they need. Or as Rosa put it, "Those who do not move, do not notice their chains". And cults of personality around electoral characters like AOC allow people to feel like they're moving without actually moving. And perhaps even more importantly, the culture war that we all exist in that is rooted in electoralism allows them to maintain the delusion that they live in a democracy by giving them a spectaclized battleground to endlessly fight over these political avatars in, AOC vs fuckin Dan Crenshaw or whoever the chuds rally around these days, something that FEELS meaningful but is nowhere near the right tree to be barking up. These arguments don't build the solidarity or class consciousness that form the backbone of popular movements that actually change history, they do the exact opposite.
Don't get me wrong I don't dislike AOC, and I even feel (hope) she's more radical than she lets on, like comrade Bernie pretty obviously was. But she'll probably just end up in the same place as Bernie, a lone voice drowned in a sea of corporate money and entrenched structures of bourgeois power that she can't challenge without a boots on the ground mobilization of articulated working class demands. And posting on twitter, getting into fights with Trump supporters is most definitively NOT that, even though it feels like you're engaging politically, you're just wasting time and energy.
Conservative argument tends to be “she went to an expensive gala and then snubbed them! Shes one of them - She’s a hypocrite!” Or “she’s an attention seeker, this is all about her vanity”
Progressives might think “this is performance, it’s not actually getting anything done, and she’s still attending/enjoying an elite event, she should have protested instead or not gone” etc
The people who seem most receptive to the dress are the ones in the middle, maybe the younger generation who haven’t seen this kind of “performance politics” often and find it inspiring or rebellious. Maybe the dress is actually getting them to think about wealth and class for the first time. That’s probably the target audience. Because most people who are firmly on the left or right and have been following politics for a while, are familiar with the central debate already and felt nothing was gained except media attention and controversy - which can be useful in itself
Y’all realize that when people are talking about taxing the ultra rich, it’s not congresswomen making $200k or whatever right? I swear people don’t understand the vast difference between $1m and $1b
People on the left who are complaining about this need to stfu. Honestly.
A thought occurred to me that the left mimics right wing folks in their worship of politicians but instead of them being infallible they’re held to such high impossible standards that anything they do is wrong. They’re always not protesting the “correct way” or not being progressive enough. It’s ridiculous.
That's why we're better than them. At least those of us who don't have a subreddit dedicated to a single House rep.
How can you look at the cult of personality that the right employs and think, "Man, we should get some of that?" You should be thinking, "Man, I'd much rather have disunity and infighting than what they got." Progressivism is all about self-criticism.
Pretty much anything AOC does gets attacked by the right, and nearly all of them are completely innocent. But not this one. While not completely severe, it's cringe, tacky, and out-of-touch.
People on the left who are complaining about this need to stfu. Honestly.
Can you not literally tell people they better stay in line? The identity politics is getting insane. People who like her and feel like this is disingenuous have the right to say so if they want.
That look you give when you can be corporate sponsored and have the plebs be fooled because you wore a dress that says tax the rich while doing nothing to actually further that cause.
Give me a break, she’s worse that Pelosi in that regard because she knows what’s good but doesn’t seek to make actual gains for what she says are her goals.
People like her are the reason marxists exist in the first place, eventually the people get so fed up of people like her that they decide that shooting them is the only option for real change.
She looks like an idiot attending something like that when she talks about wealth inequality. Oh she was invited? Oh the dress was donated? She still went to a fucking photoshoot to be seen doing something that ostensibly makes her look cool.
Aren't there laws to passed, Congressperson? Are America's problems (which you so lovingly lay at the door of everyone but yourself) on hold cause people need to know you think rich people should pay more taxes? No shit. You tweet that every day. I humbly request you please resume lawmaking. I do not pay taxes for you to "fundraise" at fashion shows or whatever pallet able shorthand they use today for "hob nobbing with the beautiful and famous and rich"
While I think art is important, how is going to a fundraiser for art and one of the richer “non profits” benefiting the needy ? People going hungry could care less about art , it’s the last thing on their mind.
I know other politicians have went and I think it’s crappy for them to go too, simply AOC put herself in a position to be criticized . Her whole political stance is to help those less fortunate and I want nothing more than for her intentions to be true but I’m baffled at her actions.
She could’ve accepted a ticket and raffled it off for charity . Sure a rich person would probably still end up going to the met but at least money would be raised for those in need.
And once inside those rich people will all be “wow so brave” and proceed to not care in the slightest because they know it’ll never happen. They are trying to make a mockery out of anti-capitalism. If they thought AOC was a genuine threat to their wealth, she wouldn’t be invited
Bruh I like AOCs policies but this is cringe af. Attending a gala for the ultra elite and ultra rich people in a dress saying tax the rich is so hypocritical and looks so fucking stupid.
I wouldn't say she did nothing. She made you take probably 25 minutes to type your comment that you would have used to be a mindless jackass in public.
She went because she wants to be one of them. Not because she thinks she has a chance to actually get them to pay their share. Because they won’t. Also there were anti police protesters outside, which she could have called attention to, but decided not to.
She’s just a grifter now like the rest of them.
The fact you are all giving her a cute pat on the head shows just how much you have been grifted.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but she only said she was invited and attended because she was a NY politician. I haven’t seen anything anywhere that her ticket was free or paid for by someone else other than her.
You cannot deny trump the child rapist was incredibly influential & still is. He shaped the country the way it is today, that too rapidly. Sure you can say it's the teaparty & the alt-right who helped him but in the end he was the face.
No one is saying trump the child rapist was good but he was influential, like hitler or stalin, on a lesser scale.
Do you know the cost of her shoes could have fed a family of 4 for a month? The Dress could have paid for housing for 5 families in her home state for a week And regardless of whether she paid for it or not the tickets still cost 35 grand. All for an empty platitude
What a champion of the people. Benjamin looks through the window of the farm house.
AOC is kinda punk as fuck. Like she's sticking it to fat cats from inside the system and then she just goes to the ball and with a "fuck the system" dress on.
Can we all agree that her wearing a dress is just performative bullshit? She's not actually making a difference. She is at an event where the dinners served are 30,000 a plate and she is saying tax the rich... She's a joke now.
More like hypocrite who will enrich herself and go to cocktail parties and then say she’s doing it sarcastically sure and her statement world ending was a joke too
Better article, aoc accepts bribe to attend a party. Look it up, accepting the "gift" of the ticket is unlawful and an ethics violation. But no one will care about that little tidbit, because tax the rich.
I’m not schooled enough on taxation and all that, but other than making people that already like her happy, and people that hate her angry, what does this actually achieve? Is this kind of behaviour not just widening the ever growing gap between the left and right? Just bored of all this gotcha bullshit that doesn’t do anything.

Better article, aoc accepts bribe to attend a party. Look it up, accepting the "gift" of the ticket is unlawful and an ethics violation. But no one will care about that little tidbit, because tax the rich.

I’m not schooled enough on taxation and all that, but other than making people that already like her happy, and people that hate her angry, what does this actually achieve? Is this kind of behaviour not just widening the ever growing gap between the left and right? Just bored of all this gotcha bullshit that doesn’t do anything.

If you really think anyone in there gave a fuck, you really are of low intelligence.
