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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
Are you effing me? She is bat$#%&!@*crazy!
Easy to tell others to do it but who wants to do that ; no one !! how is that fair….I’m not top 1% so tax them into the poor house wtf? Do these people think out this stuff before saying it?
That was hilarious.
You guys should listen to this real economist who thinks Trump is sort of right. Government ‘deficit’ is money the government has created and injected into our economy that we get to spend. Tax cuts on the wealthy won’t create jobs. It won’t bring back jobs and the jobs we’ve lost can be replaced with different jobs. Our country is not broke and can never go broke. We don’t borrow American dollars from China or any other country. It’s called MMT and it’s how the economies of countries with sovereign currencies operate. Any politician or president who claims that they need to cut programs or raise taxes to pay for things is a liar and/or a total moron. Our federal taxes do not fund federal spending. https://soundcloud.com/financialexchange/warren-mosler-economist-trump-victory?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook

WASNT THIS ONE OF B.O.’S COLLEGES??? JUS SAYIN
Well, sorry I don’t completely agree. we have NOTHING to back up our money . The value of it is thin air. Has been since we We went off the gold standard. So there is nothing to prop us up financially in a crisis. If they keep printing more all could collapse .
I saw this live & loved every minute of it. Damned hypocrite! She could write a check & send it to the Treasury anytime she chooses. Just cut the check already. But don’t demand or expect the rest of us to go along with forced withholding of more of hard earned income through tax increases, idiot!
Why not just give up 100% of your wealth to taxes
LOL!!! She is such a hypocrite !! ” I donate MY MONEY to Non Profits… FOR A TAX DEDUCTION !!!!!
