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.
Tucker is brilliant at giving people plenty of rope! They usually hang themselves with their own tongue.
Another dummy in the wind with Don Lemon.
She forgot to mention that by donating to those non-profits lowers her tax liability! (Tax write-offs) typical hypocrite. Why should someone that’s paid for their education and worked years to get where they are successful in their careers and work 80 plus hours a week as most who earn a top salary do, should have to cover the taxes of those who don’t do their part ?
Liberals are always supportive of higher taxes on people OTHER than themselves!
Lol
She was hillarious
Obviously she’s not an economics professor….good grief!
I would be all for enhanced social programs and subsidized healthcare and education……..If the government didn’t waste billions each year on stupid spending.
She really likes the Koolaid
I hate to tell her this but if I had to pay 80% of my income in taxes, I would downsize a great deal. That is what these people do not think about so when they get their way the economy goes broke. why would anybody work their hinnes off and not get anything out of it.
