Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat Socialist candidate for the Bronx/Queens district for the House, strikes again.  Keep in mind that she has majors in Economics and International Relations from Boston U.

"For me, I think what's happening is a lot of these folks were in their political heyday in Third Way, '90s politics, and they were campaigning and were really kind of connected most to an electorate when they were fighting for these seats … when we had more of an American middle class," she added. "I think that politically, this upper middle class is probably more moderate, but that upper middle class doesn't exist anymore in America, and thanks to the continued deregulation of Wall Street, thanks to the continued gutting of working- and middle-class people, we need stronger champions."

CNN reported in 2016 that the upper middle class grew to 29.4 percent of the population in 2014, more than double the 12.9 percent it occupied in 1979, according to an Urban Institute report. The organization defined "upper middle class" as having household income between $100,000 and $350,000 for a three-person family. The American Enterprise Institute also found in 2016 the upper middle class was growing.

Ocasio-Cortez claimed in another interview that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is low because "everyone has two jobs." The claim earned her a "Pants on Fire" rating from PolitiFact for being "off in multiple ways."

Either, this woman is ignorant, or simply dumb. She didn't research before spouting off, twice on matters of economics -- important matters.  In the case of the unemployment statistic -- that measures persons, not jobs.  Last stat I read showed over 155 million employed and about 7 million holding two jobs. 

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!
