Just a friendly reminder why everyone is focused on “justice” this weekend. Tax cheat Alexandria Ocasio-CORTEZ still hasn’t paid the tax lien on a her failed business venture Brook Avenue Press from seven years ago. Why is Ocasio-CORTEZ in the halls of congress but not behind bars for tax cheating? Oh that’s right, she’s a Democrat, so she gets away with not paying her taxes, unlike normal Americans. No wonder Ocasio-CORTEZ wants to jack taxes up to 70%, she doesn’t pay them!

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.
