The congresswoman took the common tropes about being poor to task in a thread on Twitter Saturday.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, the first-term congresswoman from New York City spent Saturday afternoon attempting to start a conversation on Twitter about perceptions of wealth and class in American society.
The survey revealed a similar income-based divide in perceptions of welfare. There was a 30 point net gap between respondents above the poverty line and below the poverty line about whether government-provided benefits encouraged dependency, with the wealthier cohort holding the overall view that handouts did encourage this government-dependent mindset.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez May 11, 2019 The share of Americans living below the poverty line is notably smaller than during the 1960s. Although, since the 1970s the poverty rate has largely stagnated, fluctuating between 10 percent and 15 percent in the ensuing decades.
