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.
I love how people like this never propose raising taxes in themselves. Lol
Hysterical. Yes children, strive to be the top of your field. Strive to be in the top 1% only to get taxed 90%. She especially lost her argument on her parents
Eighty percent, if you are rich why even work then? To take the risk with little reward makes no sense. Then people would not have jobs because the rich quit working.
Let’s CUT the BS.
The United States HAS been in an Ideological (Democrat V Republican) War SINCE this country WAS founded.
Republican IS the ONLY political ideology Constitutional AS indicated in Article IV Section 4 https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.”
Our founding fathers WERE smart BECAUSE to REMOVE Republican from the Constitution REQUIRES a Constitutional Amendment OR a Civil War WHERE the Victor WILL determine to KEEP or REWRITE a NEW Constitution.

“However, there was a consensus as to three criteria of republicanism, the lack of any of which would render a government un-republican.
The first of these criteria was popular rule. The Founders believed that for government to be republican, political decisions had to be made by a majority (or in some cases, a plurality) of voting citizens. The citizenry might act either directly or through elected representatives. Either way, republican government was government accountable to the citizenry. To a generation immersed in Latin learning and looking to pre-imperial Rome for inspiration, a republic was very much res publica—the people’s affair.
The second required element of republican government was that there be no monarch. The participants in the constitutional debates believed that monarchy, even constitutional monarchy, was inconsistent with republican government. In fact, when Alexander Hamilton proposed a President with lifetime tenure, the delegates so disagreed that they did not even take the time to respond.
The third criterion for a republic was the rule of law. Ex post facto laws, bills of attainder, extreme debtor-relief measures—most kinds of retroactive legislation, for example, were deemed inconsistent with the rule of law, and therefore un-republican.”
The Left WANTS to HIDE behind the 1st Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Yet, NOWHERE does the 1st Amendment REMOVED Republican from Article IV Section 4.
Actions BY a “Democrat” ARE Unconstitutional.
History HAS a NASTY way of REPEATING itself. The United States continues on it’s current path there WILL be a Civil War 2.0.
A Civil War 1.0 veteran’s tombstone warning:
Typical liberal, wants everyone else to pay, not her.
And did you catch, the nonprofit she supports?
Of course !
We have so many liberal professors here in California.
And she wants us to put more money in these Universities that are producing all these snowflakes?
She would never make it in a real job that takes intelligence and responsibility.
She actually teaches ? We are really in trouble!
This is a college professor. The liberal indoctrination is on full display.
The wealthiest 1% also donate to charities so her argument about donating to charities she chooses rather than paying higher taxes should apply to everyone.
Democrats love your money
The f**e news era professors teaching f**e history
Least they forget JFK was the first to cut taxes to stimulate the economy
