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.
No she’s a politics professor! Whatever that is.
So that tells she she knows absolutely NOTHING about economics.
Look what the politicians have done to our economy!!!
It’s really sad to see all these leftist MORONS being called professors. They are less educated then a 5 year old,
Yup she is from California. Fruitcake
The moronic Hypocrisy of people like this woman is well exposed. Can’t believe she is teaching kids. Future looks grim for those poor bastards. The bottom line is the government are the last people you want getting more of your hard earned dollars. Too funny.
Typical liberal hypocrisy. Other people should have to give their money to the government, but I shouldn’t!! They say people should pay higher taxes but they use every loophole and tax break they can to pay less taxes themselves.
Stupid (!)
She gives to non-profits, why? So she can take the write-off. #Hypocrite
Let’s use math to see what a college professor wants to do. A person making $500,000 would pay 80% in taxes. That equals $100,000 left over. Next they must pay state taxes = to a minimum of 10%, leaving $50,000 to live on. So if you are willing to live off of 10% of what you make, then do it and the government will be glad to take it. Quit expecting others to do things for you.
When asked a a straight forward honest question she becomes hostile and confused and either can not or will not answer.
This is typical of the hypocrisy of the liberal left. Taxes always apply to others, never to themselves.
