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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
She claims as many tax write offs/deductions as she possibly can to avoid having to pay as much of her “fair share” as possible.
All this is, is “wealth envy”.
Classic liberalism. In their minds, people should only be allowed to make a fixed amount of income, and the rest should be just given away and shared with others.
So by her standard a person busting their$#%&!@*or possibly worked hard in their life to get where they make 470k a year would be taking home about 94k after taxes. That’s federal only. If the government actually changed the tax code( they won’t because they are almost all in that bracket) that would open up the states to do the same thing and then all of a sudden those people would be indentured servants to the governments who owe more then they make every year.
Radical.
This is what your hard earned money is going to, to educate your child’s higher education. Makes you consider trade schools as a better option.
