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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
JFK couldn’t get the demo nomination for President today. Bernie would get more votes.
I would like to see an investigation done to see just how much money she gives to these “non” profit organizations. And then another investigation to see just how much she claims she gives during tax season.
Economics is obviously not this lady’s strong suit. And when you challenge Tucker Carlson you had best have all your ducks in a row because he knows how to put you in your place..
Old story
Wonder how much of Obama’s 400k Wallstreet speech she thinks he should pay in taxes? Or how much of the 65 million book advance the Obama’s received? Or how much of Bill Clinton’s 500k speech on Russia should he be forced to pay?
That’s why i said out west here. And with the non stop 24/7 false narrative bs from cnn etc the cluless sheep are getting feed pure spin and the chasm grows wider and wider. I work for a university out here and cnn is on in the library flat screens with no sound so all the students see are headlines, “Trump and Russian collusion. Trump fired Comey during an investigation, what is he hiding?” They’re purposely being indoctrinated by leftist bs propaganda nonsense and that’s why the tvs are on during finals! They’re trying to study, but now and then they look up for a few seconds and all they read are how the conservatives are like$#%&!@* but they have no idea that$#%&!@*was a democratic socialist, which is exactly the kind of c**p we had for 8 years. A Democracy is mob rule, which is why America is actually a constitutional, representative republic, NOT a democracy. A representative republic protects the minority from the majority, whereas a democracy is the rule of the majority.
I guarantee if she were in the top 1% that she would not support this. The wealthy DO pair their fair share. If fact, they pay more than their fair share because their fair share is the same as anyone else’s fair share. Everyone should pay the same rate. Why do the wealthy have to pay more? Because they were successful? Because they were born wealthy? Isn’t everyone supposed to be equal?
Well this is an argument for cutting funding to colleges with useless classes ….. like hers
Simple example of the higher tax snowball effect.
Let say a short costs $10.00 today. The next day, libs. And Dems. Get their wish. Higher taxes on the rich and businesses.
Well, do you think they are going to carry that burden? NOPE!!!
Businesses will simply take that extra tax burden and add it to the cost of the product. Now, you must include all the taxables within. When you tax the rich and business. You add tax hikes to who they employ, etc..
In saying, now that shirt that costed $10.00 yesterday now costs $12.00 today.
However, that’s not all!!
Let’s say, the tax was 10% yesterday. So, the cost of the shirt overall was $11.00. Today, that shirt cost $12.00 with an increase on yesterday’s tax of 80%. Now your paying 18% off of $12.00 dollars.
Today, you are paying $13.44 for the same shirt.
In a 24hr period that shirts cost out of pocket increased 81.8%.
Not only that. The government becomes even fatter. Because now, the receiver higher taxes off both You, the consumer, and BIG BUSSINESSES!
Tell me, how smart do you feel now?!
