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.
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.
What a hypocrite! No wonder, our kids are not learning anything in school
Mike Ware unfortunately they are schooling our young on there agenda.
When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you get no objections from Paul. If you want to be fair tax everyone at the same rate, that’s the defective definition of fair.
She is in California.
So let me understand if you work hard and make more money you should be taxed more, how does that make sense.
That’s called brainwashing!
What a hypocrite. Do as I say not as I do.
