Andrew Kerr reports in the Washington Free Beacon:
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon, an avowed Democratic Socialist who owns two homes and raked in at least $270,000 from her jobs and investments last year—in addition to her husband’s unpublished income—is lamenting the injustice of having to pay taxes on her outsized income.
And:
“Your girl over here is on a payment plan to pay the IRS $12,000 back,” Nixon said during a podcast interview in July. “And listen, I ain’t made $105 billion, but you making me pay $12,000 to the feds? Like, really? That’s what we’re doing? And they already took some of the taxes away anyway. I paid over $10,000. It’s just, it is crazy.”
She is also refusing to pay back her student loans. From the story:
As for Nixon’s unpaid federal student loan debt, she says she won’t repay it. In October 2023, when Congress ended the pandemic-era student loan moratorium, Nixon, a University of Florida graduate, declared on Facebook she was “above” paying back her educational debts.
“Dear Student Loans. It’s above me now,” Nixon wrote. “I don’t wanna pay it back. Education supposed to be free.”
Nixon apparently doesn’t believe that she has obligations as a Senate candidate, either. Also from the story.
Paul Kamenar, an attorney with the watchdog group National Legal and Policy Center, said Nixon’s omission of her IRS tax debt and student loan debts violates Senate rules requiring disclosure of debts exceeding $10,000.
“It’s clear Nixon violated the Senate disclosure rules,” Kamenar told the Washington Free Beacon. “She needs to amend her reports.”
