Q'uell surprise

I got mine, Jack

Ed Driscoll: UNEXPECTEDLY: AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ dress designer Aurora James owes debt in multiple states.

The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to withhold income taxes from employees’ paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The Post. The debts — which were incurred before the pandemic — stem from 2018 and 2019. The company has been hit with 15 warrants in total since 2015.

The company got into a deeper hole with the feds. Between April 2018 and April 2019, the Internal Revenue Service placed six federal liens on Cultural Brokerage Agency totaling $103,220. The liens specifically cite the company’s failure to remit employee payroll taxes.

While James apparently has no problem stiffing the Taxman, she isn’t shy about taking money from taxpayers — her company received in $41,666 in pandemic relief aid.

And here’s the lady herself, four days ago.

James, the founder of environmentally conscious clothing brand Brother Vellies, is also the creator of the 15 Percent Pledge, which challenges companies to "pledge 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses."

"With access comes great opportunity," she continued in her post. "We can never get too comfortable in our seats at the table once they’ve been given. We must always continue to push ourselves, push our colleagues, push the culture and push this Country forward. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Fashion is changing, America is changing."
