In a fitting topic for the income tax filing deadline, Tucker Carlson roasted a California politics professor on Tucker Carlson Tonight last evening for claiming wealthy Americans are not paying their “fair share” in income taxes.
Caroline Heldman, an assistant professor of politics at Occidental College in Los Angeles, argued for radically hiking taxes on taxpayers in the top one percent of income, those earning $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
She pays 30% and she’s a professor,I pay 28% at 51k,maybe she’s not taxed enough,or,maybe I m overtaxed
This is very old news but I agree with Tucker 100%
that was some funny$#%&!@*right there! Can’t Fix Stupid! And she is acually a professor? OMG im a friggen Genius!
80% of $500,000 is $400,000. Now 40% of $300,000 is $120,000. So, if I am in the top 1% of earners in the US at $500,000 a year I would only get to keep $100,000 of my earnings to live on, but if I am at the top of the other 99% with a yearly earning of $300,000 I get to keep $180,000 to live on. This is what the liberal left thinks is fair. You do not improve a society by briging the top members down, you have to find away for the bottom to lift themselves up. Just saying!
Absolutely fucking hilarious!
Box of rocks….. The end!
Can I see your tax return, preferably your Schedule A? So, you feel that rich people have no right to do what they want with the money they make or earned? If a rich person makes 1M and pay 800,000 in taxes, what will be the incentive to continue working?
She’s lacks a simple ability to see the big picture versus her personal snapshot opinion—-it’s called, Common Sense.
Shirley Hultquist and just like Winston Churchill said,”A nation trying to tax itself to prosperity is like standing in a bucket and trying to pick yourself up.”
Ummm she isn’t in the 1 percent, she pays her share. The wealthy should pay their share and it can be the 40% that we all pay, just eliminate the loopholes that the wealthy have
