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.

Love how she claims that she tips generously when Tucker pointed out that she could simply pay more to the IRS if she seriously thinks taxes should be higher. Lots of folks tip generously, but they don’t think it means they shouldn’t have to pay taxes. She suggested 80% as a tax rate – pretty sure she isn’t including an 80% tip on every meal.
She has no clue. “Tax the wealthy top 1 percent”. And poor all the problems solved. Then we can increase our spending for free everything. Maybe she needs to re examine her economics studies.
That is what is teaching future generations! Pathetic!
I remember this communist. What she is proposing with income tax and inheritance tax is simply the second and third plank of the communist manifesto. I wish the American people would wake the hell up. The only other option is it that they think Communism is a good thing. Not!
If they think that rich should pay more, let’s make it a voluntary thing and they can set an example by being the first to donate. With extra money I had last year I hired a crew of Mexicans who wanted to work, to paint my house. One day, in and out and when it comes time to do the inside, I hire them again. If I had to pay more taxes that money would have gone to people that are to lazy to work. The only people who make money off those assholes are the dentist who give them t
How better off would HUD be with the money Ben Carson found from that train wreck of a Obamas administration
What do you want to bet she takes a deduction on her taxes for the so-called 40% that she gives away to Planned Parenthood and other nonprofits? Yeah she’s using the loopholes too.
