US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to raise taxes on the rich - just not pay her own.
The Democratic socialist congresswoman from The Bronx still hasnt paid a 7-year-old tax bill leftover from a failed business venture.
AOC had founded Brook Avenue Press, a publishing house that sought designers, artists and writers from urban areas to help paint The Bronx in a positive way in childrens stories, in 2012.
As the Post previously reported, public records show the state dissolved the company in October 2016. The state can make such a move when a business fails to pay corporate taxes or file a return.
The state Tax Department then filed a warrant against her now-defunct business on July 6, 2017, over a $1,618.36 unpaid bill.
As of Friday, the tax warrant had still not been satisfied, and the outstanding balance had grown to $2,088.78, the department said.
She just thinks shes better than everyone else. Clearly, shes worse, said Hank Sheinkopf, spokesman for AOCs chief June primary-race opponent, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, to The Post.
But Ocasio-Cortezs camp says the rep is challenging the $2,088.78 bill because it was issued in error."

By now she must have access to plenty of money. For her to refuse to pay a $2000 tax bill is pretty silly.
“Laws apply to thee not me” so sayeth AOC.
New York s#cks when it comes to taxes. The company was probably dormant, and NY still keep piling up bills. More like sloppy business practices on her part.
A good bartender in NYC could make that much in cash tips in a weekend.
I said a good bartender.
Sounds like the paramilitarized IRS enforcement agents need to bust her door open at 4:30 am, shoot her pets and haul her barefoot ass off to jail.
Taxes for thee, but not for me!
Clearly you don’t understand what a big deal AOC is. Taxes? Taxes are for little people who don’t matter. Suckers who work real jobs to earn money to support their families. Basically, the worst sorts of people.
She will get the “Al Sharpton “ tax treatment.
“I SEE NOTHING.....”
She could sell one of her cheesy watches.
Aren’t Democrats supposed to get tax breaks?
You can bet she gets a free ride if she hasn’t been paying income taxes.
Only if they tip off CNN first. Otherwise it would be pointless and abusive.
“haul her barefoot ass off to jail”
How about haul her off to jail naked??? ...that would kill off all of the coronavirus within 100 miles.
Unfortunately, it would blind all living creatures in all of NY’s boroughs.
Come now, Taxes are for little people and conservatives
And do more lap dances.
This alone tells you who and what she is!
