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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
How does she think the wealthy got wealthy? She don’t want to punish, “working class America” wtf does that mean? Th rich don’t get rich or stay rich for no reason.
The one point all those socialists who yearn for the taxation rates of the 50s fail to consider is that our economy was able to bear those rates only because the rest of the industrialized world was still rebuilding from WWII. Our industrial capacity was untouched and we not only had minimal competition but also profited from rebuilding the competition. Apply those rates to this economy and you will have a depression.
Government produces nothing…..it only consumes taxpayer money.
As they expand socialist policy and programs the taxes become exorbitant.
The problem is eventually you run out of taxpayers and taxpayer’s money.
Case in point….California.
Tucker, arguing with you would be a tough chore, but with this broad it would be impossible. This is why this country has so many snowflakes. One time I would love to see you conservatives to tell the liberals to shut the F$;k up. Just my two cents.
But why do you get to decide “Professor” who is not paying their fair share. You admitted you pay only 30% and said that was your fair share. So people who are successful should be punished with a much higher tax rate than the very next income bracket that you likely are part of? “Do as I say, not as I do!”
TAXATION. IS. THEFT.
Sounds like every other lib I have heard, do as I say not as I do. The rules should be enforced on everyone else, but not them…..Please, whatever.
I am continually amazed that Tucker manages to get these dipshitst to come on his program. They must really think that their point of view has to prevail, & then they end up looking completely foolish & flustered, when they realize how stupid their point of viewvis
She was a stammering mess when she got there !
She comes from an affluent family, therefore she has expectations of inheriting when her parents are gone. Death taxes will eat most of that up UNLESS her parents use estate planning to protect their wealth for her and any siblings. It’s always someone else that liberals want to suffer inorder to provide for social programs. THEIR pet social programs.
