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.
Typical libtard
Higher taxes for thee but not for me!
What would the incentive be to be successful if you have to give the majority away? There’s no actual value in your success at that point and no reason to work harder.
Moron…
So a person making $470,000 a year gets taxed 80% and takes home $94,000 but a person making $250,000 gets taxed 40% and takes home $150,000…yeah, that makes you REALLY want to climb the ladder and make more money.
And she stated her donation to planned parenthood like 500 million a year from the government isn’t enough lol
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Being a professor is not as hard as we thought it was because listen to that.
This idiot is a professor? No wonder today’s students are socially clueless.
She trips all over herself. She gets to write off by contributing to non profits, but for the “wealthy” it’s called a loophole. Their verbiage always tells where their mindset is. Corporate welfare when they get tax incentives, “earned income credit” when it’s an individual. Child care credit, vs oil subsidies. Note the verbiage again, and for her the wealthy was defined as just above her and her family. And the wealthy also give to non profits, in fact have set up many of the foundations.
I love Tucker!
Where do they find these dimwits???
