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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
Well done Tucker, she clearly is not the “brightest crayon in the box”, someone needs to audit this yahoos taxes and deductions to see just how “crooked” this snowflake really is.
The top 1% already pay the MAJORITY of taxes. Theft by the inefficient government only promotes more liberal trash spending. Since liberals benefit the most from taxes let them pay 90%. See how that works for you.
Liberal logic #101
Tax the he’ll out of everyone making more than me…..
Sounds like a typical liberal. Force people to pay ridiculous taxes, but she herself refuses to do so and says she gives directly to charities instead. How is it that she has an option but forcing everyone else is ok?
What a hypocritical$#%&!@* So, when it’s not your money or “income bracket”, 80% is your assessed figure? The wealthy aren’t among hard working Americans? Lmmfao! They’re among THE hardest working, or why in the hell would they be wealthy? Not all of them inherited wealth, idiot. Oh, and these are the Business Tycoons that employ those hard working Americans you refer to. If you don’t think they contribute to non profit organizations, you are simply retarded.
People should take a good look at what their federal income taxes actually go for. Hint: not highways and roads, your gas tax and road tax on your property tax pays that; not school, that is paid by property tax also. The list is long on what it does NOT pay for. Do your homework and investigate.
Typical liberal women god I hate them I would kill myself if that was what all women are like
If you don’t feel you’re paying enough in taxes, you’re free to write check to your State and/or the Federal Treasury…
Susan is 100% right, so if you want it done, back Trump
What blithering idiot. She really believes what she says. She obviously does not use her brain to think, her eyes to see or her ears to hear.
All she has to do is watch the news and see what is happening in Venezuela, or what happened in Greece.
I am so glad that Hillary lost.
