AOC\'s mother is lucky she has somewhere to flee New York\'s punishing taxes. Unfortunately, if her daughter is successful, leaving the country will become the only option.\
\
\"The mother of soak-the-rich Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was forced to flee the Big Apple and move to Florida because the property taxes were so high.\
\
"I was paying \$10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I'm paying \$600 a year in Florida. It's stress-free down here," Blanca Ocasio-Cortez told the Daily Mail from her home in Eustis, a town of less than 20,000 in central Florida north of Orlando.\
\
The mother of two --- who calls herself BOC --- said she picked Eustis because a relative already lived there, and right before Christmas 2016, she paid \$87,000 for an 860-square-foot home on a quiet street that dead-ends at a cemetery.\"\
