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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
She is such a jerk. I want to slap her. Yikes!
Far chance if that
Those high rates were put in place and then numerous write offs were created to get people to invest rather than pay the taxes. It was a carrot and stick. And resulted in the extremely complicated tax code we now have. (not to mention the nice leverage it gives politicians over those desiring more complications)
The government makes way more money off of us than they should. They problem is they spend it on such stupid$#%&!@* We give way way to much money to other countries, we give way way to much money away to people who do not deserve it. They spend it on lavish retreats and vacations, special projects, They give away billions to our enemies, and then invite there people here to live off our money. The space program is a complete waste of fucking time. Unless it is for defense systems. Cars on fucking mars is just stupid. But trillions spent every year. I could go on and on. But to sum it all up. This$#%&!@*is full of$#%&!@* There needs to be a flat tax. Just because you make more does not mean the Government should get it.
Another IDIOT that does not understand economic and job creation in this country!!!
Liberal ignorance once again.
Practice what you preach
Taxation is theft .
Silly Snowflakes
Democrats Always want everyone else to pay for their handouts, but don’t want to pay for handouts themselves. It’s great if she truly helps others through donations but she doesn’t give more/extra to the crooked government like she demands others do. P.S. – other rich people donate
