AOC Wears 'Tax the Rich' Dress at New York Met Gala

Sep.14 -- Progressive Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the Met Gala — the buzziest event in the New York glitterati calendar — to make a political statement by wearing a dress with TAX THE RICH splashed across the back. Annmarie Hordern reports on "Bloomberg Surveillance."

$30, 000 for a ticket to Met Gala. Of course most of her supporters won't be aware of that.

That dress sure doesn't look cheap, so shouldn't she be taxed as a rich person as well? Or are we just trying to signal something here

[Victor-itbv]

This is almost as controversial as my MAGA hat.

Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat

You could tax Donald Trump, but it wouldn't matter because he'd find a way to weasel his way out of it ... the crook.

[ianalan]

Beautiful fancy dress for an elite event.

[TheSoljaTv]

So does she wants to raise taxes on herself?

[markaxworthy]

Well, you wouldn't raise much by taxing the poor, would you? The only real question is how much to tax the rich? Mote, certainly. But how much more?

[doggy]

All the problems in the world, and y'all are worried about somebody wearing a dress. Y'all are hilarious.

All she needs is a bowl of fruit on her head and she could EASILY pass as the Chiquita Banana Girl, ironically, FROM the banana republic..🎶Cha Cha Cha🎶🍌🍍💃

[TikiJsLounge]

She’s at an event that only rich people can afford to go to. What a slap in their faces! I guess they deserve that for voting her in again though. The idiocy is astounding. smdh

[djcity]

$30, 000 for a ticket to get in. "Tax the rich" the irony here is top-notch. Who picked up the tab?

[hhhhoooojdjd]

I honestly thought she was dressed as a chick fila sandwich for Halloween or something.

[tonyrogo]

She needs to wear a dress that simply says . " PAY ATTENTION TO ME".

[kevinkelly]

I am very happy to see that she has enough sense to not buy in to the stupid rules to wear a ridiculous mask.

[cwill]

We don't have to take her serious now right? Considering there were dudes wearing blankets and gold plated armor at the event she attended🤷‍♂️
