'It still blows my mind that the CEOs who crashed our economy + caused millions of people to lose their homes not only escaped handcuffs; but got bonuses, too,' wrote Ocasio-Cortez.
First-term Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made no effort to hide her hope to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and big businesses, but the representative from New York argued Saturday that her idea is no less"crazy" than what she viewed as the preferential treatment currently being given to some of these same parties.
"It still blows my mind that the CEOs who crashed our economy + caused millions of people to lose their homes not only escaped handcuffs; but got bonuses, too," responded Ocasio-Cortez to that story. Ken Thompson, who was CEO of Wachovia — one of the nation's largest banks before its disastrous collapse in 2008 — currently serves on the board of Lending Tree. Similarly, former Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack is on the board of LendingClub.
