Exactly!!! And in far too many cases, it doesn't matter which party they belong to. Dems have no ethic or morality but there's also a large number of Republicans who, if they ever had any to begin with, have thrown their ethics down the toilet.

Assuming your meme is correct then how can he afford 3 houses on a senator's salary. And if he can afford them then we're paying senators way too much.

I'm of the opinion that all politicians in the federal government are grossly over paid. They should never live better than their constituents.

Also I am with you on pay. ALL politicians should be paid the average income of their constituents.

$174,000 a year, his wife works, they save, invest, etc. Mortgages. This isn't an insane level of wealth here. It's a NOTHING BURGER. His NET WORTH is $500k

Look at how much other politicans are worth and FOLLOW THE MONEY. It's all there.

IIRC, he got back on his feet by publishing his memoirs.

Now, that's the other extreme, but the point is that he didn't use his political career to enrich himself.

Wow. She's down. Last year it was $29 million.

I wonder what she lost so much money on?

Also. It's weird.

Because her public tax filings as of 2021 show she's worth about $15,000 in savings and investments.

You can view them here; https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2020/10043223.pdf

But. Another weird thing.

How do you know her financial status for 2022 when she hasn't filed yet?

Wow!!! I didn't look up her net worth from last year. She must really be blowing a ton of cash on stuff to go from $29 million to $1.5 million. Perhaps when I did my search, I landed on a liberal website and didn't know it. They might be doing what liberals are notorious for, lying to down play how corrupt she is.

Yeah. i know you didn't look anything up. If you had, you wouldn't have made the meme. Because if you did know and still made the meme, you'd be lying.
2 ups, 2y
Okay this is weird. Yesterday I went to this website: https://networthcheckers.com/politicians/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-net-worth/ and they said 1.5 million. Today I go to the website, because you accused me of lying, and I get a 404 error. The search engine I used still has a excerpt from the webpage showing that it was $1.5 million.

However, I found this website: https://www.financialsamurai.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-net-worth-is-higher-than-you-think/

They say her net worth is between $270k and $320k but this website is basing her net worth not on actual data but on the assumption that if she lives on $50k of her $175k salary then her net worth would be between the $270k and $320k. I want to know what her real net worth is and I can't find it. All the other websites are saying that it is $200k. I don't believe that is accurate.

I also saw what you meant by the $29 million from 2021. You see I had no idea what her net worth was until I looked it up yesterday. I never heard that debunked news before.

But when politicians can make laws that affects businesses and then invest accordingly, they ALL (both parties) have the ability to do just what we would be put in prison for. Most of them do that kind of insider trading and never even get their wrist slapped.

No. It's a lie. you can read her public filings here: https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2020/10043223.pdf

Not that you will. Because you'll feel better if you keep believing a lie than have to admit you were wrong.

What's been debunked? (and by who?) Her net worth? Or that her net worth is that high, but she didn't get it there by being a crook? Please elaborate. Just saying "Been debunked" doesn't really address anything.

No. I'm saying that you've fallen for yet another hoax because you want it to be true.

Thanks, I did. Not sure why you think I wouldn't. I usually tell people to go to original sources when possible, because I have zero trust in the media. When Trump was POTUS, I gave out the URLs for the white house transcripts of press conferences, because well, I just said why.

I guess for now at least, we'll assume she's being truthful on the disclosure. Although, she may be under investigation related to that "none" she claimed under schedule G.

I saw that her salary is around $174K, which is way too much, not just for her, but for any member of the House.

I did a little bit of digging (not much) and from what I read, it seems she probably has a negative net worth. She oughta write a book if she wants to print up some money for herself.

She's being investigated by the ethics committee because a conservative PAC complained she went to the Met Gala in a dress that said "tax the rich."

No, it is due to a complaint filed over her acceptance of a gift valued between $35K and $50K dollars. Specifically:

"The American Accountability Foundation is writing today to request that you immediately open
an investigation of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) for accepting an
impermissible gift to attend the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala (the Met
Gala). If during your investigation you discover any possible violations of campaign finance law,
we urge you to share that information with the Federal Elections Commission.

Specifically, we believe Representative Ocasio-Cortez has violated clause 5 of Rule XXV of the
Rules of the House of Representatives (commonly known as the Gift Rule) by accepting
admission to the Met Gala, an event whose per seat costs is reported to range from $35,000 to
$50,000, without having a permissible exemption to allow the acceptance of the lavish gift. If
Representative Occasion-Cortez has used campaign funds to pay for this ticket, she has also
violated FEC prohibitions on campaign funds being used for entertainment purposes."

2 ups, 2y
Probably not. What I heard is she's being investigated by the ethics committee because the ticket to the Met Gal goes for around $35K. At least that's what I heard. I don't care enough about her to spend any time checking it out.

I looked it up before I made the meme because I wanted to see if she got rich. Go ahead and do your own seach if you don't believe me. She was a bartender before she ran for office. You cannot get rich tending bar nor can you get rich on a representative's salary. So where did the $1.5 million come from? Hmm??
