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.
Probably easier to get her tax returns than Trumps’.
Progressives should pay progressively higher taxes since it’s their policies that are so expensive!
He didn’t ask the obvious question. All those charities she contributes money, does she claim on her taxes?
F**k this post. Never seen a second page. Ever F that s**t
This lady is an idiot. Top 1% pay 40% of taxes; and, when the top rate was 91%, the rich got deductions for all sorts of things, which brought their effective rates down.
Why shouldn’t all Americans have the option of donating instead of paying taxes. Is she the only one capable of making ‘good’ decisions? No wonder students can’t get jobs when leaving college. They have learned silly information from cement heads like this.
Smug arrogant liberals! It’s always someone else’s money they don’t mind spending!
Interesting how generous they are with other people’s money…
Does she have any conception of who pays tax on investments? Most senior citizens. If capital gains taxes were raised to 80% they would need to go on welfare as they would have no spendable income. We live on those gains.
Typical dipshit professor
