Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon Makes $270K a Year, Won't Pay Her Taxes or Her Student Loans

Angie Nixon, the Democratic Socialists of America member running for Florida's state Senate, owes the IRS nearly $14,000 in unpaid federal taxes. She also owes $17,600 in federal student loans she hasn't bothered to pay back. Her annual income is north of $270,000 — more than five times what the median American worker earns.

She thinks the tax bill is unfair.

In a July 2026 appearance on a podcast called "Hard Wig, Soft Life," Nixon laid out her financial philosophy: "Your girl over here is on a payment plan to pay the IRS $12,000 back... And listen, I ain't made $105 billion, but you making me pay $12,000 to the feds? Like, really?"

Really.

The Florida state representative and Democratic Senate nominee pulled in over $270,000 in personal income in 2025, drawn from her legislative salary, a Miami consulting firm, and her role as director of a nonprofit voter mobilization organization. Her husband, Jarrett Morene, owns and operates a car repair business. They own two homes.

On that $270,000 income, Nixon paid just over $10,000 in federal taxes — an effective rate of roughly 4.5 percent. The remaining $12,000 she owes the IRS is sitting on a payment plan she publicly complained about on a podcast. Her student loan balance, with interest, sits at nearly $18,000.

This is the same political faction that campaigns on making "the rich" pay their "fair share." Nixon's definition of "rich" apparently starts somewhere north of her own tax bracket. At $270,000 a year with two homes, a consulting gig, and a nonprofit directorship, she earns more than roughly 95 percent of American households. Her complaint that she hasn't "made $105 billion" is doing a lot of heavy lifting — as though owing $12,000 to the federal government on a quarter-million-dollar income is some kind of persecution.

Nixon has previously made her position on student loan repayment clear: she doesn't think she should have to. The $17,600 balance isn't a secret hardship. It's a policy statement. She wants the government to cancel student debt — starting, conveniently, with hers.

The DSA platform Nixon runs on calls for dramatically higher taxes on income and wealth, expanded government programs funded by those taxes, and federally administered student loan forgiveness. Every dollar of that agenda requires someone to pay. Nixon has decided that someone isn't her.

The podcast clip is worth listening to for the tone alone. "It's just, it is crazy," she said, describing the experience of being asked to pay taxes on a $270,000 income. Millions of Americans earning a fifth of that amount file their returns and pay what they owe without recording a podcast about how outrageous it is.

A quarter-million dollars a year, two homes, and a 4.5 percent tax rate. The socialist revolution has a pretty comfortable headquarters.
