I'd like to agree with Tracer Hand but TBH don't think those AOC clothes look very good.
I would consider wearing a Broadband Communism (old BT font) item though.

quelle surprise. How to make it very easy for right-wing media to undermine your *radical* publicity stunt - don't be too fussy with whom you do business with.

That's why it's 'tax the rich' not 'pay your taxes fairly and properly don't make me have to try and work out if you're paying what you should before I commit to anything' and so on with the writing just getting smaller and smaller right down to the hem actually she should do this

When I was in 5th grade I got sent to the principal's office for wearing a Van Halen shirt that said "Van Halen Kicks Ass"
From that day on I vowed to never stop speaking truth to power

always best when the inflammatory writing is on the back of the shirt, yr teachers and principals often miss it that way.
or if the front of your shirt is pleasant and the back half is the kicker
Front: This School is Great...Back: ...for me to poop on!

My girlfriend and I wore Dead Milkmen shirts for twin day during sprit week back in high school. But while hers read "Soul Rotation" on the back (from their previous album and tour), mine read "Dick Is Coming" (in honor of their upcoming album Not Richard, But Dick). I was no more than 5 steps into the school when the vice principal became aware. Fortunately, another part of our twin day costume was flannels tied around our waists, so we just moved them up to normal shirt position so I could cover up the offense.

I wore a Dead Milkmen shirt and a fellow student ran out crying because her dad was a milkman who was dead
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Monday, 20 September 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link
lucky you had those flannels. when I was in 6th grade I went with a friend to see Janet Jackson on the janet. tour. My friend wore a t-shirt to school the next day that featured some variation of the album's cover art, and the vice principal made him wear a lab coat the whole day because that was all he had to cover (this was in June).

Two of my best friends, brothers, saw the Bell Biv and Devoe concert and came to school the next day in matching "Do Me" t-shirts. No repercussions, other than deep cred.

Another best friend of mine had an array of Amphetamine Reptile shirts that I have no doubt would have offended anyone that read them closely.

I don't even own a potentially offensive t-shirt.

I definitely got called into the principal in 5th grade for my Dead Kennedy's shirt, which just had the DK logo and the name on it. They were unhappy, but nothing ever happened and I wore it without problems until the end of the year.

i can't believe how long kids were allowed to wear Big Johnson shirts in my middle school. they didn't get banned until the end of 8th grade year, and kids ahd been wearing them throughout my 3 years there.

I don't see how there is ANY connection to be drawn between AOC's support for increasing taxes on the very wealthy and her wearing a gown designed by a person whose business is behind in its tax payments - especially 18 months into this pandemic, when businesses of all kinds have had their cash flow strangled. This is so far-fetched that only complete idiots, such as Daily Mail readers, could possibly swallow it.
― it is to laugh, like so, ha! (Aimless), Monday, 20 September 2021 18:53 (two years ago) link
I did mention the headline might be making something out late taxes rather than tax avoidment schemes but wasn't going to give them a click to investigate further. I posted this disclaimer straight after it! Tax The Rich, but don't be beastly to my very rich friends undermines the message somewhat and hanging out with rich motherfuckers is always going to undermine you when are supposedly a people's champion and a glowing tribune of the left and I'll never believe anything different.

AOC actively made the designer as a person and business owner part of her reason for wearing the dress. Makes her business practices fair game.
Her tax issues predate the pandemic so that’s a pretty dumb defense to offer up.

Absolutely no defense for a business owner withholding taxes from employees and then keeping them, that should get you thrown in the stocks.
