Ocasio-Cortez owes back taxes from 2012, ignored notices, but wants Americans to pay more taxes

Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Americans to pay more taxes, even though she hasn’t paid her own back taxes from 2012.

A book company AOC founded in 2012 to publish children’s books in the Bronx still owes New York State over $1,870 in corporate taxes, according to public records uncovered by the New York Post.

The state dissolved her company, Brook Avenue Press, in October 2016, presumably due to its failure to pay corporate taxes or file a tax return.

In typical socialist fashion, Ocasio-Cortez’s little "book-publishing company" got cheap office space as part of a city-subsidized program.

However, there are no records of Brook Avenue Press ever having published a single book.

Ocasio-Cortez ignored a July 2017 tax warrant from the state demanding payment of her delinquent taxes.

I imagine the governor and mayor want to get rid of her...not to mention most of the rats in Congress.
The media is probably her only friend at this point.

There’s a better chance of being hit by lightning 10 times than her ever claiming those tips. Like all commies she is an utter hypocrite. And where does she get off demanding taxpayer money as “economic incentives” for her nonsense “green deal”? The “economic incentive” is the free market. Anyone who comes up with clean renewable energy is going to be the worlds first trillionaire, we don’t need any other “economic incentive” and burn money like with Solyndra, especially from coming from a commie wacko like her who doesn’t pay taxes. It’s always “other peoples money” with these asshats. Oh yes, then she brags about paying her 10 assistants $50,000 a year. Yes with OUR money!

I wonder if she was elected legit. Her district has one of the highest concentrations of illegal aliens in the country which is why she’s always yapping about rights for illegals and wants to dismantle the “racist” ICE.

“Failure to File” is not the same as “Failure to Pay”.

ABC’s book publishing company got subsidies to help publish children’s books, but never published any. Pocketed taxpayer money. That’s fraud.
State dissolved her company in 2016 for not filing statements or paying taxes.
Sent demand for taxes in July 2017— while she was running for Congress.Ignored.
Maybe the bill went to her fake address in the district where she didnt actually live.
Girlfriend be trippin’ herself all up with these lies.
