Isn’t failure to pay taxes a felony?

I don't believe it is. What is a felony is tax fraud, where a deliberately false report of income and tax calculation is made.

Nevertheless, owing the Federal or (in this case) state money is problematic, depending on how determined they are to collect. For a couple of thousand, the state might just be content to keep adding on interest and sending a bill.

Ask yourself, how long has Al Sharpton stretched out his tax payments, where a larger amount is concerned? And, there's always the "some animals are more equal than others" issue to be considered.

Only for Republicans. Good Democrats get a pass on paying taxes.

I’m surprised this negative story about Ocasio-Cortez is in the news. Ditto the controversies over her campaign finances, and issues with her boyfriend having been paid from campaign funds improperly. How is it that negative news stories about her are suddenly appearing?

The unpaid taxes are New York taxes. The amount is actually trivial

Amazon was lost. AOC is now open to grief for not having the where with all to pay taxes on a corporate scam

The article seem like proof they are after her.

Let's ask Al Sharpton.
