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.
The woman is benefiting from the system that she speaks out against. She is a hypocrite. There are corrupt wealthy people but, there are also those that help others to succeed. The perception of her comments would give one the impression that she feels that those that work hard to become successful should (in effect) be punished by paying most of their wealth in taxes. I’m not wealthy…..yet but, I know that is unfair. Yes. I don’t believe that the middle class should bear all the weight. That’s not entirely the fault of the wealthy. The government was intended to serve the people but we the people, have failed to hold them accountable by ourselves being accountable. If you leave things in the hands of government, you surrender the right to complain if things don’t work in your favor.
So what is that saying work hardware for give it your all and cause some liberal fucks and Dem dickheads feel that the worthless and lazy should be taking care of I have to pay our the rich bastard’s who put in the time go to school and apply themselves should get screwed even more should be one flat tax across the board and no fucking sales tax it should be either or both
I predict the “poor” will manage much better under a Trump administration than under the socialist/globalist BS of the past 8 years.
Derek Smith Congress has little to do with such decisions, they would be handled at the state level, not federal.
YES!!!…WAY TO GO TUCKER!!!
Just another “educated idiot”, she has absolutely no grasp on reality.
Taxation is theft, justified by those that would impose it for the betterment of their interest and most certainly not for the enrichment of their fellow man!
So what is their fair share? I’d really like to hear it.
They can keep 65% to 70%. Too many tax loopholes! No more offshore bank accounts. No more corporate CEOs who outsource jobs to Asia. I thought we fought a war in Southeast Asia and then the 1% greed monsters have the guts to send American jobs over there.
Does she have a brain
