Ocasio-Cortez’s mom moved to Florida to escape NYC’s property taxes
New york Post ^ | March 4, 2019 | Bob Fredericks

The mother of soak-the-rich Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was forced to flee the Big Apple and move to Florida because the property taxes were so high.

“I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I’m paying $600 a year in Florida. It’s stress-free down here,” Blanca Ocasio-Cortez told the Daily Mail from her home in Eustis, a town of less than 20,000 in central Florida north of Orlando.

The mother of two — who calls herself BOC — said she picked Eustis because a relative already lived there, and right before Christmas 2016, she paid $87,000 for an 860-square-foot home on a quiet street that dead-ends at a cemetery.

Her daughter raised eyebrows with her pitch to hike the top marginal tax rate on income earned above $10 million to 70 percent.

She has also gotten behind the so-called Green New Deal, which would see a massive and costly government effort to address climate change the way Franklin D. Roosevelt launched the New Deal to rescue the US economy during the Depression.

I’m sure that BOC will vote a straight Democrat ticket, and advocate more taxes in Florida.

Without proper pest control, infestations spread. Dems move after fouling their nests in CA and go to NV,NM,AZ,CO and TX.
NYC ones infest CT,RI,VT,ME and FL.

Pest control and elimination is becoming vital.

We could lose TX and FL and thus never have another GOP president or Congress.

Enjoy working within the system and playing by the rules——in the gulags. ((not addressed to you E. Pluribus))

New Yorkers are a cancer on the body politic. The destroy their local environs and then metastasize to better states like FL, TX and GA and begin to destroy them because NEW YORKERS ARE TOO ARROGANT, SELF-IMPRESSED, AND STUPID TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR VOTING HABITS ARE WHAT KILLED THEIR PREVIOUS LOCATION
