The New York Post reported in March that a company founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in 2012 still owes state taxes.
Her staff members stated at the time it was the "First they had heard of her business's unpaid taxes and that the balance would be paid right away," according to a Daily Caller report.
The report explained, "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 Bronx County Clerk confirmed in a phone call with the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday "That the Brook Avenue Press tax warrant remains open and that a satisfaction of judgment has yet to be filed in the matter."
The report said the state eventually dissolved her company using a process for companies that fail to pay taxes for at least two years or fail to file tax returns.
While the bill has gone unaddressed, Ocasio-Cortez has insisted on tax rates of up to 70 percent on some wage earners, the report noted.
"How are we saying take it easy, the America that we're living in today is so dystopian with people sleeping in their cars so they can work a second job without healthcare and we're told to settle down. It's a fundamental separation between that fierce urgency of now, the why we can't wait that King spoke of. That at some point this chronic realities do reach a breaking point and I think for our generation it reached that, I wished I didn't have to be doing every post, but sometimes I just feel like people aren't being held accountable. Until, we all start pitching in and holding people accountable, I'm just gonna let them have it."
