Ocasio-Cortez still hasn’t paid tax bill from failed business venture

Democratic darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still hasn’t paid a six-year-old tax bill left over from a failed business venture.

Weeks after The Post alerted the freshman Congresswoman’s office to the outstanding tax lien from 2012, she still hasn’t paid it, state records show.

Brook Avenue Press, a company set up in the Bronx to publish books about city children, owes $1,877.56 in unpaid corporate taxes.

The state slapped the company with a warrant on July 6, 2017, two months after Ocasio-Cortez announced her candidacy to run against Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley for the district that encompasses parts of Queens and The Bronx.

Public records show the state dissolved the company in October 2016, which can happen when a business fails to pay corporate taxes or file a return.

Not a simple barista after all. Just another groomed Soros-backed traitor.

“TAX THE RICH!” because they aren’t paying their “fair share.”

She WAS a barista.

She started this publishing company right out of college, and it went nowhere.

I suspect she's been in over her head since the age of about 12.

Why should she be penalized for capitalism’s failure to make money for her?

As in communist countries, “Party” members need not be concerned with such crimes. They always get a pass. It is only those not members of “the Party” who must pay up.

See Post #27 at the link below. I think I captured her story pretty accurately there:

Company Founded by Ocasio-Cortez in 2012 Still Owes $1,870 in Taxes

It seems like she should just pay it.

I point out that now that she’s a Congresswoman, she should have no trouble selling books now.

She’s a princess. Princess Margarita de Taco Shack. They don’t pay taxes. Taxes are for the little people.

If the company was set up as a corporation or a similar limited liability arrangement, I don't know if it makes sense for her to make any payments on its behalf out of her own pocket. It is likely set up as a completely separate entity from her.

I'd be curious to hear what a Freeper with a legal and/or accounting background might say about this.

Any liberal worth his or her salt knows taxes are for the little people.

I think you are correct. If it was an LLC, I believe you are completely protected from owing your personal assets.

I was alluding to one of her comments - “you just pay for it.”

AOC: As someone once said “Move On.” A one digit call on my cell and Soros will write a check. No big deal.

President Trump: I am today announcing the Justice Dept. has notified me of the appointment of Mr.Robert Mueller to investigate AOC with an unlimited purview and timeframe.

The IRS has the tools to collect if they want to.

It is apparent that they don’t want to.

She is a communist. She would be embarrassed to pay it herself. She got elected figuring to dump it all on us.

The people that hired her to be a congresswoman wanted a puppet and a parrot but now she wants her fair share.

As Fredo Corleone would say:

¨I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I’m smart and I want respect!¨
