Ocasio-Cortez is a tax cheat! I guess Ocasio-Cortez isn’t all that fond of taxes after all. I mean, why else would she still owe taxes on a company she founded in 2012 to publish children’s books? The state of New York was so pissed off at the failure by Ocasio-Cortez to pay her owed taxes with Brook Avenue Press that the state dissolved the corporation in 2016 for failure to pay the taxes. No wonder Ocasio-Cortez wants to jack up taxes so high, she doesn’t pay them anyway! Of course, she’s also gotten away with not paying her company’s taxes all this time, so it proves once again if you are rich, or a politician then you get away with everything. Remember, Ocasio-Cortez’s own mother fled New York because she claimed the taxes were too damn high. Doesn’t matter to “Sandy” though.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to pass sweeping tax hikes on the wealthy, but the freshman lawmaker might want to take care of her own unpaid tax bill first.
Brook Avenue Press, a company she founded in 2012 to publish children’s books in The Bronx, owes the state $1,870.36 in corporate taxes, public records show.
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.
The state requires businesses to pay a corporation tax on a sliding scale based on revenue. The minimum payment last year was $25.
“The company probably got numerous letters from the state and probably ignored them,” one New York City accountant theorized.
