AOC hasn't paid her taxes from years ago

It's apparently hard for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to get by on her measly $174,000 a year salary.

She still owes the state of New York $2088.78 in back taxes and interest on her now defunct business.

She's been too busy making sure that you and I pay more taxes to be able to straighten out the issue.

Her spokesperson says that AOC is contesting the bill claiming that it's due to the Franchise Tax being incorrectly collected.  The problem with that explanation is that the total has only gone up by $470 which is consistent with interest not unjustified yearly charges.

The company was dissolved by New York state in 2016 which can occur when a company fails to pay corporate taxes or fails to file a tax return.

The state filed a warrant against her business in July 2017 demanding payment of a $1618.36 unpaid tax bill.

Clearly irrespective of the facts it's rather poor form for someone like AOC who is demanding higher taxes on the rest of us to not take care of ensuring that her tax situation is resolved.
