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.
A California professor, it figures. Nice job Tucker!
Wow……that’s a liberal for ya!!!
Hope our President can Fix this….Needs fixin Now !!
I doubt it would satisfy you guys . You talk about the professor having a conflict of interest, in advocating a larger infusion of money into education. Well, I am not in the education field, and I agree w. the professor. I also agree that much greater financial commitment needs to go to “social safety net” issues. I don’t understand the resistance to it. Those who say they are “self made men” and “self made women” are not factual. They were assisted by emphases and programs of our government. There is not greater freedom in laissez Faire. You have impoverished people trapped in a ghetto it is almost impossible to get out of. For many decades, there was a federal and numerous local governments who promoted and perpetuated segregation in schools, pools, neighborhoods- that social evil has played a huge role in the crime and drugs affecting our communities.
So Tucker: you put these academics on your show as straw men whom you can knock down. Instead of calling someone a hypocrite, why not use your platform to actually do some good for society.
Wow
I love the faraway look Tuck gets just before he swoops in for the kill…
We pay these professors with our tax dollars. Nutcase
Why do liberals think it’s ok to steal from the wealthy? How about a flat tax period, wouldn’t that be more fair? She is an idiot.. the type that say ” do what I say not what I do” the government does not need to take care of healthy adults that can work.. free education devalues the education.. any parent knows that giving your child everything devalues those things.. but a child who works for what they want with parents chipping in raises the value of the product they want.. at least in my world!
matt, once again your liberal bias is blinding you.
That sounds about right. Raise all these taxes, but only on “the other guy”.
