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.
How do we accomplish that?
Yesssss…Wtf can’t liberals see that?…A flat tax plus a fair tax…No if and or buts….
I like Tucker as he does throw a decent punch now and then.. But there are times I wish he’d throw out more facts and less laughing. he uses his laughing as an argument. but i don’t see where he accomplishes much.. I’d be telling this woman that the one percenters donate a lot of money to others as well so you are not on a pedestal and if the capital gains taxpayers paid 80-90% to the government that jobs would stop.. including yours as college would not be needed if no jobs created.
I remember watching this before I stopped watching Fox. It was hysterical!
She is crazy
Liberals are always very free with other people’s money and freedoms, but never want to personally give up anything of their own to help others.
So she would tax someone with a 500k income at 80%…. leaving them with 100k….but if you make 185k she taxes you at 40% ..leaving you with 111k…and then says that up to 83% tax won’t stifle the quest for wealth? She’s from another planet, and needs a shrink!
How funny was that, lol
I need the government to stop stealing my ssn investments.
She is so stupid. Increase the death tax? And she’s a professor? She proves that academic intelligence does not go hand in hand with logic and common sense.
