Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that a Wall Street where profits increase, but everyday wages do not is a perfect example of an unfair economic system she often speaks against.
“The Dow soars, wages don’t,” the New York Democrat tweeted. “Inequality in a nutshell.”

The freshman lawmaker was reacting to news that the Dow had soared past 29,000 for the first time.
AOC describes herself as a Democratic socialist and spends much of her time online railing against big investment banks and the highest-earning Americans.
