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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
Funny how lefties call it greed to want to keep what you earned but it is not greed to want to take other people’s money
I don’t agree with her at all, but she certainly held her own with Tucker, despite what the headline says.
What an arrogant socialist$#%&!@*!!
Liberal hubris on display
Her point may be silly but she wasn’t left a stuttering mess he seemed to avoid the direct argument she was making. It was change direction and differ
In the 1950’s the income tax on the wealthy was raised. The wealthy responded by reducing their income so they would pay less tax. This trickled down to an increase in wages for everyone else. I can not find it at the moment but there is a graph showing the income differences in America. The mid-50’s to early 60’s (when the income tax for the super wealthy was reduced) was the smallest gap ever. It was also the best time, economically, for America.
Here’s another typical liberal….
As long as its other people’s money.
SMH
Another lame liberal trying to give other people’s money away.
What a dumbass!
When your a parasite that is dependent on a government check of course you want more tax money to line your greedy pockets.
