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 find it funny that these goofs always point to people that make more than they do. Ok, say I make $20,000 a year, how would she feel if I called for a tax on 83% of her income. How would she feel if I said I wanted a death tax to take away almost everything she worked for her whole life and denied her family the money she earned and already paid multiple taxes on? Twit.
I bet she never worked a private sector job in her pathetic life.
This chick has been off the rails for a long time, probably her whole life. Too bad there are students who fall prey to her senseless leftism.
She’s a professor at a college in California, nuff said!!!
Train wreck Trump government????? Obama spent more money than any other President in recent history!!!! How in the heck was that helping our country?? I am sick and tired of all these colleges expecting the rest of us to pay their way in life!!! Obama put us so far in debt that it’s crazy. Tell Hollywood they need to fork over their money and see how well that works.
To everyone opining on here. You voted for Trump to make America great again. My question is this, when do you feel that America was great? Serious question?
Please feel free to move to the country of your choice.
You know the one you feel is great.
There is a reason people from all over the world want to come to America.
Trump did more for American Blacks in 100 days than Obama did in 8 years.
Ok at 400k the take home would be a 320k how do you figure it would not suppress wealth
Bad math Terry L. Ingle. According to the IRS Tax Table Book (available on the IRS website), if you made $400,000, your tax liability is $107,413, not $80,000 as your post suggests.
Typical liberal wants everybody to pay more but themselves!!
LMAO…….liberal professor , he shut her$#%&!@*down
