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.
Yeah but she doesn’t get any tax deductions for sending more money to the government. However if she spends 40% of her income on giving to Planned Parenthood and other nonprofits then she can deduct that on her income tax. Therefore her 30% that she pays really comes down to about 15%. She really needs to learn a little bit more about economics!
Brain dead
Wow! Did she ever come off as completely stupid?! Lol
Why is the wealthy person’s “fare share” higher than any other person’s “fare share”? 90% is insanity and government theft. Fare would be a flat percentage for all income groups.
There is a section on the state income tax form in MA where you can pay more money……I’m pretty sure mo politician ever checked it off!
It’s funny how these indoctrinated college kids think they can solve the economy by handing out free s**t to everybody,free school,sanctuary city’s,give me a break! It didn’t take a mathematical wizard to figure that one out!!
That’s one of the chicks that screwed over oreilly.
If you want a good job….do not take her classes. Lol
Plain stupidity.
What a loser ! So someone making a million dollars a year would end up with a 100,000 $ ! and this libtard would make more on a 400,000 $ salary, seems fair.
