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.
Raise her pay to $470,000/yr and tax it at 90% and she will make far less than she makes now. Then ask her how she feels about being taxed at 80-90%.
Did she say anyone making over 490k should be taxed at 90%. Wouldn’t that mean they would pay roughly 450K in taxes and have 45k left over? Making them now less than medium wage earners.
She is a liberal idiot! Remember, Obama went to Occidental College back in the day. Need I say more.
Libs it’s always because of the other person -never them- tax this scumbag snowflake the way she wants to tax others — bet her fat mouth stops flapping!!!
What’s scary is not what she said We can excuse stupidity, but she believes in what she said That’s scary
Anyone at any time can write a check to the treasury. Why don’t the whiners just do that?
Once you take all the money from the 1% and they are NO long the 1% then do we go after the top 10%? Then after them who’s next. You can’t keep taking from the top and give to the bottom, because there won’t be any to give soon.
The problem with liberalism, sooner or later you run out of other people’s money
Typical
Just wow.
