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.
So she is Robinhood.
She is a Spoiled Brat / IDIOT
So why is it that liberals think that the top earners in this country should pay more than their fair share? If you earn more, do you use more gov’t services? These people are insane.
She is an idiot.
Typical socialist, why are so many people so jealous of the rich? They have earned their money! If I choose not to work as hard as my neighbor who works tons of hours a week, should I expect him to give me some of his money that he has earned? No!
Agree! Sick of the double standards!
And she is teaching our children. OMG
So you and 4 other people are sitting in a diner. You all order fish ( whatever) the waiter know you make 80,000.00 a year, three other people make 50,000.00 or less.
You are charged 40.00 for the meal the other people are charged 10.00.
So is that OK?
She’s an educated dumbass.
How do these people define fair share. If 10% of taxpayers pay 90% of personal income taxes and 50% pay no tax, I think we need to redefine fair share. Maybe we should divide the budget by the number of households. That would be a more fair system.
