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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
What a stupid dumb idiot of a woman. How embarrassing!
Like all leftists she’s full of$#%&!@*
I almost laughed as hard as Tucker, what a freakin “Nutty Perfesser”
This was a professor? Did she ever take basic economics, logic, or history? It doesn’t look like it. She is just against the evil 1% of rich people.
Tax rates should be the same for all as an incentive to become richer by effort, education and experience. Deductions should be allowed for everyone who invests or saves i.e. No capital gains or tax on interest, and the death tax should be eliminated.
Why shouldn’t what you have worked for, paid for, and paid taxes on be left to you heirs without the government taxing you for dying?
Exactly
I actually love Tucker normally but he was not in the best form he continually asked her why she doesn’t pay 70% and she said she isn’t in that bracket like 3 times, but then he made a few good points, she’s obviously totally wrong but I hate it when they make mistakes that give people like her a little headway
She is a liberal they believe in nothing
If you’ve made a lot of money, apparently, you are evil……….
So for example if I run a business and I personally make $1,000,000 she saying that I should give up $800,000 of that income, where she may be making $250,000 and would only give up about $35,000? Where is my incentive to risk my wealth and create new jobs? I can’t believe she’s a professor, the more you tax opportunity and the riskier you make it the less people do it. That kills an economy
WONDER WHY OUR YOUTH ARE BRAIN DEAD STUPID!! LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE IDIOTS THAT CLAIM TO BE PROFESSORS
When education becomes more important than WAR, then we’ll be able to afford it.
