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.

Why not make to where the tax percentage is based on the amount of wealth one gets? And if you use the talking point that it will stop innovation, We put a man on the moon in the sixties.

She shows up on TV often and always appears so uninformed.
I wonder what woodpile she crawled out from under
Robert Bourbon Lloyd will never admit that he has drifted to the far left. Am curious if he completed his Chem. Engr. Degree or changed majors and became an Attorney because engineering was too difficult.
Poor Justin, so out of touch.
If she was in the top 1% she would be the first one bitching..guaranteed
Damn socialist and she’s teaching our posterity. Don’t mess with my money but I’m ok messing with somebody else’s.
John Paul Jordan I went in direction I was better suited for . As far as drifting, I think the democrats of, say the 1970’s, those folks would now be considered moderate republicans. To me, that means the country as a whole has drifted to the right. And the trend is not too auspicious, in my opinion. Particularly when combined with the growth of the state and contraction of individual rights. Only thing I see growing is the rights of corporations and power of bureaucracies
