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.

A spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, who has called for sweeping tax hikes on the rich, told The Post two weeks ago that the taxes would be paid right away.

But on Thursday, her aide Corbin Trent said that the Congresswoman’s lawyers were looking into the matter.

“I’m her congressional staffer, not her personal accountant,” he said.

AOC still has not paid her tax bill from 6 years ago. The bill is $1,877.56.

While AOC has been dodging this bill for over half a decade she is trying to make everyone in the country pay more taxes.

Al Sharpton once said that what was owed, were his “old taxes”. The implication being that “old taxes” are a mere irritation, and that if one has paid “current taxes”, then all is ok with the taxman.

Should be no problem. That’s only eight months worth of tip jars.

It’s not so much the balance. Penalties and interest add up!

AOC knows that if she can only slide for another 12 years, she’ll get away with not paying for good.

Maybe she doesn't understand the language for normal business......

She is fine with taxing everyone else at 90% but doesn’t pay her own small bill.

No problem.

Congress has exempted themselves from insider trading laws.

On the outside chance she somehow is forced to pay (doubtful, given that she has hit the trifecta: non-white female and Democrat), just a few well-timed trades that would have put us in jail, and viola!

Problem solved.

Not that I agree with her on anything, but it’s a tax bill on a defunct LLC. She does not need to use her personal assets.
