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.
Will folks never learn? My dear sweet mother use to tell us when we were young children….”Never try to hurt the rich man, because you will wind up hurting only yourself.” When I would press her on what she meant by this, her response was…”The rich man will merely take his money somewhere elso”
During the Obama Administration are top 10% of income earners paid 70% of the total income tax revenue. How exactly are they not paying their fair share?
No wonder we are pumping out idiots from our colleges!
Yeah….right……she says she gives to nonprofits…..ummm…..don’t you get a tax break when you give to a nonprofit? So she takes advantage of the very system she complains about that others do …..huh…..can you say” hypocrite”!
Why is that NOT reported???
Go Tucker!!!
I wonder how all the Hollywood elite would feel about giving up 80%.
She’s kinda stupid on several levels.
How does she know whether or not the rich give to charities?
I hope she doesn’t teach economics.
