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.
Can you say “brain dead”??
All those rich people that worked so hard day and night and night and day to get rich , should take care o f the rest of the country that doesn’t want to work at all!!!!! Lol!!!
She avoids higher taxes by giving to planned abortion hood! What a whack job!!
A regressive tax rate rather than progressive would stimulate the economy!! Higher rates at the bottom rather than the top!
Incentive to work more earn more to be taxed less!
So if I made $470,000 @ 30% tax that’s $141,000 of tax leaving $329,000 of take home. But if I made $1,000,000 out of that next $530,000 @ 80% tax I would have to pay $424,000 in taxes, for a total of $565,000 of taxes? Leaving the margin in take home pay between a household of $1,000,000 and a household of $470,000 at just $106,000. What’s the point in making anymore than 470k? So you can give it all away? Come on.
It’s all fun and games when the person who has to pay extra isn’t YOU.

I’m glad you have tucker Carlson. You are a snowflake who can only listen to what he wants to hear. Be ashamed. And I’m a republican who’s not anti trump, but you call CNN the leftist news site, yet you only can handle what Pandering tucker says. Anyone else is f**e news. Because of people like you, nothing will change, but you thrive on the divide and all you do is blame Obama
You have to be amazed by these liberal professors, who always want to attack the wealthy and redistribute their wealth, because in their warped minds people should not be allowed to accumulate wealth, use it the way they want to and redistribute it the way they want. This is exactly why we should have a flat tax. A flat tax encourages people to work as hard as they want to, make as much as they want to and actually be allowed to keep what they have earned fairly. It should be called the fair tax.
Funny how the left thinks people are unfairly keeping their income and robbing everyone else.
Fair Tax!!!!!
SICK

THE
HYPOCRITES
She smart. She will make us go. (Only Star Trek fans will get this reference.)
I hate Tucker’s guests! That’s why I can’t watch his show! But I love Tucker!
typical know-it-all liberal, theory, theory,theory and no practicality
