AOC Facing Investigation for Tax Fraud?! (She’s Going Down)

In Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s never-ending quest to turn America unto a socialist hellscape, the socialist darling must have forgot that she still needs to pay taxes!

According to a report from The Daily Caller, a tax warrant against Ocasio-Cortez’s failed business venture remains open over six months after her office said the unpaid state taxes would be promptly paid back.

The state of New York issued a tax warrant in July 2017 against Brook Avenue Press, a Bronx-based children’s books publisher Ocasio-Cortez founded in 2012, for $1,618.36 in unpaid corporate taxes.

New York issues tax warrants against businesses if they “fail to timely resolve” their tax debt and don’t respond to notices of their debt, according to the New York Department of Taxation and Finance.

The New York Post first spotted the New York Democrat’s unpaid tax bill in early March. An Ocasio-Cortez spokesman told The Post at the time that it was the first they had heard of her business’s unpaid taxes and that the balance would be paid right away.

But AOC has yet to pay up.

Former Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent told The Post her lawyers were looking into the matter in a March 23 story noting that the back taxes remained unpaid.

According to the Daily Caller report, New York state dissolved Ocasio-Cortez’s company in 2016 using a procedure reserved for corporations that fail to pay taxes for at least two years or fail to file tax returns.

AOC’s history with tax reform is well documented in her short time on Capitol Hill.

She has called for tax rates up to 70% on income earners at the “tippy tops” to fund her signature policy proposal, the Green New Deal, which would fully decarbonize the U.S. by 2030.

But she sang a different tune on taxes as a small business owner in 2012 when she came out in support of a bill that would provide tax deductions for business start-up costs.

But the unpaid taxes on AOC’s end begs the question… why hasn’t she paid up? AOC’s congressional salary is $174,000 and certainly has the means to fork over the $1,600+ balance.

Or is she just hoping someone else will pay it for her… like the true socialist she is!
