This remains true regardless of the scale of the problem, or the individual Leftist\u2019s ability to intervene on a personal level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a member of the House of Representatives, Ocasio-Cortez has an annual salary of $174,000. It seems reasonable to assume that her net worth places her among the more \u201cprivileged\u201d in our society, without considering any number of additional avenues for legitimate income made possible by her cultural status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>By all available metrics, Ocasio-Cortez is perfectly able to financially support her beloved \u201cabuela,\u201d if just to make basic structural repairs to her cramped living area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, the notion of taking individual responsibility for one\u2019s own family and community is totally antithetical to Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s ideology. For radical progressives like Ocasio-Cortez, even problems they themselves could solve with one PayPal transfer are the responsibility of others \u2014 the faceless \u201ccollective\u201d of society, shrouded in the constrictive veil of government control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Why take personal responsibility for those around you when you can demand that \u201cthe government\u201d step in? Why dip into your own pocket when you can expect \u201cthe rich\u201d to foot the bill?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Like so many radical Leftists, Ocasio-Cortez exists in the bizarre intersection between \u201cadoration for one\u2019s family members and community,\u201d and \u201can apparent inability to send them $100 a week to help repair their roof.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The truth is that her latest tweet says everything you need to know about the new wave of far-Left thought in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
