AOC's 'Tax the rich' dress designer owes tax debt in multiple states
Fox Business ^ | September 18, 2021

The designer's company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state and got into even deeper trouble with the Feds

Designer Aurora James called her "Tax the Rich" dress for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "powerful message" — but it’s not one she has taken to heart.

The 37-year-old fashionista who made waves at the Met Gala with Democratic-Socialist AOC last week is a notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states, records show.

Most of luxe-living James’ arrears center on Cultural Brokerage Agency, an LLC she formed in 2011 to serve as the parent company of her fashion brand, which today is known as Brother Vellies. It’s a favorite of people like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Meghan Markle.

The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to withhold income taxes from employees’ paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The Post. The debts — which were incurred before the pandemic — stem from 2018 and 2019. The company has been hit with 15 warrants in total since 2015.

The company got into a deeper hole with the feds. Between April 2018 and April 2019, the Internal Revenue Service placed six federal liens on Cultural Brokerage Agency totaling $103,220. The liens specifically cite the company’s failure to remit employee payroll taxes.

Were they taking from the employees and not paying? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Thanks grundle. Occasional Cortex will of course be held blameless by the Partisan Media Shills.

I thought that was the kind of stuff that got employers in prison and ricky-tick.

(I wish I had known that tax laws were only a suggestion, like the US Constitution.)

The left always accuses you of the crimes they are guilty of committing.

This all is starting to make perfect sense to me.

If you can self-select your gender, why can’t you self-select something a little less obvious; like if you are rich person who needs to be taxed under “tax the rich” mantra.

I mean we see Democrats self-select that certain laws don’t apply to them, as they are “the good guys/gals.” So why shouldn’t Democrats be able to self-select if they pay taxes or not.

The hell of it is, before she ever put on her “tax the rich” dress, OAC knew damn well it would never happen.

The cretins in congres ARE the rich, they are NEVER, EVER going to tax the crap out of themselves. Not going to happen.

Pelosi push a bill to raise her own taxes? Yeah right...she’s been going out of her mind for 4 years to repeal the one Trump passed that did actually increase her taxes.

If they do actually pretend to tax the big corporations, as they also claim, they know full well it will be passed on to their customers, in the form of higher prices, which are already well on the way withut taxes, thank you...

The only ones they intend to tax are you and me.
