Ocasio-Cortez's mom left New York City over property taxes
foxnews.com ^ | 3/5/19 | NY Post

Posted on 03/05/2019 8:54:55 AM PST by a little elbow grease

The mother of soak-the-rich congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that 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 raise 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, that 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 think she lived in Westchester County, just north of New York City. I grew up in Queens, and one of the complaints people in New York State outside of NYC had about subsidizing “the city” was the relatively low real estate taxes. People living on Lawn GuyLand or in Westchester and working in NYC paid the full freight for NYC income tax (you heard right, a city income tax) plus high local real estate tax. (Same as people living in New Hampshire and working in Massachusetts.)

Me too.

Is Westchester properly labeled a part of The Big Apple?

Westchester abuts the Bronx, which is the only part of NYC on the mainland. Westchester is not part of NYC. Up until recent times it was the wealthiest county in the U.S., and is probably the wealthiest in New York State still.

They’re just hypocritical con artists. As soon as AOC hit the brass ring she moved into a high security luxury condo. They don’t actually want real socialism, they just want to con the voters into giving them power.

Speaking of cemeteries:

I picked up a hitchhiker the other night. He said thanks but how do you know I’m not a serial killer?

I replied, the chances of two serial killer’s being in the same car are astronomical.

I wonder if BOC is still voting the New York (i.e. liberal) way?
