Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Defunct Book Publishing Company 'Owes $1,870 in Back Taxes'

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez founded a children's book publishing company in 2011

Brook Avenue Press, which has since been dissolved, reportedly owes $1,870.36 in corporate taxes to New York State

Ocasio-Cortez was 22 years old when she started the company through a city-funded incubator in The Bronx

The company was aimed at 'helping develop and identy stories and literature in urban areas' for children, but it doesn't appear to have published a book


"This is the first we’re hearing of it, and we won’t have any additional comment until we look into it," Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman, Corbin Trent, told the [i]Post[/i] on Saturday.

I assume now that's she's making $174,000 she can pony up the back taxes now that it's made the headlines?

I would hope that she does, and I would hope that she was going to even without being called to the mat on it. That said though, I do have to give her credit for being entrepreneurial.

It's funny that her spokeshuman says that the newspaper stories is the first they heard of it. That seems unlikely.

@beckyromero That district in NY is getting what they voted for. Crowley must have been piece of work if they voted in AOC.

It happens. In almost every election there is some incumbent, arrogant Member of Congress who thinks they can sleep-walk thru the primary.

You people are REALLY wound up about her! 😊. Why is she viewed as such a threat? Nonwhite and sexy?

I agree. And may develop into something interesting. Bringing up ideas such as the 70% tax rate brings in good discussion.@joe438

@beckyromero I believe that's a perfect summary. If so she's following a thought-out path to change the world. She's not stupid, obviously. Just uninformed and uneducated in things related to her job.
