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.
OMG! This woman is a professor?!?!?!?!??!?!
She is a rotten Bitch
LOL! She’s all over the place. She has an argument, but when you think about it she’s full of it.
1) She trusts others more than government and wants to choose where her money goes, but if you have a lot more than she does she wants to take that money away.
2) What does she believe PP does better than government? They’ve admitted that they primarily do abortions, but that’s illegal for the government to do so she sounds like a completely ignorant twit on that matter.
What a F**king Idiot
SMH. I cannot understand the mentality of professors teaching our children this shtuff and why we let them get away with it. They are bat-sh*t crazy and should only be able to teach in a mental institution.
She wants Estate tax at 50% well bet she’ll change her mind when her parents pass…money in the hands of government never works…look at Social security…money is always better in the hands of the people..I love people who think they can defend their brilliant ideas on Tucker’s show and end up sounding like Socialists.
When liberals demand that Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, and Tim Geithner pay their fair share, then I might be willing to listen to them. Put up or shut up, liberals.
She ays she pays over and above her 30% tax rate to charities she supports so she says the 1% have to pay 80% to fund government programs. How does she know the 1% don’t do exactly as she does? Who does she think funds the various “chairs” at her college?
I remember Ronald Regan saying he would make one or two movies a year, and then because the tax rate was 80% he would take the rest of the year off and not work, because it was not worth it. Americans understand that if you are paying a 90% tax rate, to break it down, if you are working 40 hour work weeks, you are only getting paid to work on Friday the second week, the rest of the time you are a slave to the government, but to be honest most people working 40 hour weeks are not making that much money (450,000).
Her plan was to force the 1% to pay more to the government while she pays more to charities. Yet she doesn’t know the top 1% already pays over half ALL fed income taxes.
