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.
Shirley Hultquist Or just wait until you retire, you get to pay taxes on the retirement you draw also.
Love Tucker
Funny how these folks always think those making more then them should pay all the taxes.
However that is ok to tax, because social security and 401 K were NOT taxed when we put it in from our pay. So it has to be taxed now. But at a lower rate than when I was working. It is not taxed twice.
She’s an idiot. I mean I’m no genius but it seems to me if you tax up to 70,80 or even 90 % on a lot of people’s salaries and investment profits wouldn’t people start thinking it’s not worth making that much money and what’s the point of investing my money to have a better future and they would stop investing so they didn’t have to pay outrageous taxes. Then who would the government start taxing next?
I don’t think them people in welfare are paying thier fair share in taxes. Hmm.
What an idiot. Seriously? Is she not aware that this is why companies and individuals can’t leave California and New York fast enough to go to more tax friendly states like Florida and Texas? They ought to call it Accidental College because she HAD to become a professor there by accident…..
Who she kidding she donates for the tax write off
If stupid could fly, she would be a jet
It’s always about someone else’s money with them
It never applies to them…..exempt elitists don’t you know…
