While Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was touting her message of “Tax the Rich” on an expensive gown to the ultra-expensive Met Gala on Monday night, President Biden was busy championing the same message, inveighing against the rich in order to sell his “Build Back Better” program.

Concomitant with Ocasio-Cortez wearing the expensive gown emblazoned “Tax the Rich,” Biden was simultaneously championing the message on Monday night, tweeting, “If you make less than $400,000 per year, I’ll never raise your taxes one penny. But if you’re at the very top, it’s time to pay your fair share. We need to reward work in this country — not just wealth.”
