Then I can presume we can measure AOC's morality by how much she anonymously donates to anti-poverty charities.

This statement is a logical fallacy and one as accomplished as Walter Bright surely knew that while writing it.

I don't think it's a fallacy since AOC so clearly implies, if not outright states, that the reason people are poor in America is because people richer than them have too much money, and should have less. If that applies to them, why doesn't it apply to her? At what level is the cutoff?

No, her argument is not that people have too much money, it's that the system allows for it. She's dedicating her biggest resource, her time, to fixing this.

There's a greater wealth inequality in the US now than there was at any other point in time.
