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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
What an idiot she is and to think they actually let her teach
Professor Heldmann is a dumb, socialist loving$#%&!@*
This woman I’d all about taxing others but not herself. I would like to see the IRS audit her donations to see if she follows what she was saying. Another stupid liberal.
Best question would be, :”Please list for me the names of the top 1% rich people who would not move their taxable income out of the USA, if your ideas came true?”
Typical hypocrite lib! Do as I say, not as I do. Everyoneelse has to pay more except me!
Roger Cleary you are a very dull bulb, because she did in fact list who she gives to.
Another lying liberal loon.
Nothing is preventing her from sending an additional check to the IRS on April 15. As for the high tax rates in the fifties and sixties, take a look at the deductions and loopholes in effect and you’ll find the rich didn’t pay anywhere near 90%. And yes, trickle down economics does work, but not in a system laden with corporate welfare, corporate subsidies and a political class beholden to Wall Street and K Street.
How do you become a professor? I’m sure there are tests or something to weed these people out.
IDIOT liberal
