AOC is upset that rich people control large businesses. It’s better, according to her, that she and the rest of the government get to do it. Bartenders are so much better at running things, you see.
They want the power to pick who gets what. They want to determine through government fiat who is rich and who is poor.

Capitalism is the best system for wealth distribution, but it is not a system of government. We do not enjoy capitalism here since our government has bastardized it in a way that actually makes it more like socialism. For example, I do not have the right to market my skills to the highest bidder due to a number of reasons: unions, licensing, fees and permits, etc. Every venture attempted is highly scrutinized by our government and highly penalized if found in violation of any rule or regulation. In many cases, you cannot legally begin a professional business unless you have the approval of your would-be competition. There are barriers to entry of almost all professions that are expensive and unequal in their application (lookup ‘grandfathering’ concept). In a big way, they already have the power to determine through government fiat who is rich and who is poor.

That’s the same reason the left claims that real communism has never been tried.
