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.
“Raising taxes is the best solution as long as you take from them and not us.”
This is why the rally cry “pay their fair share” is nothing but greed and selfishness. When these people sell their luxuries and give to people making less than themselves, THEN they can non-hypocritically advocate “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.
So instead of giving her money to say veterans or homeless she decided to give to plan parenthood.so she surports killing babies.what a fucking libratard
Tucker won’t let the pansies get away unscathed.
She an idiot
This woman is a complete idiot and she is why our 6 figure tuitions are graduating complete idiots. So she wants to tax people who are wealthy at 91%. Lets put this into perspective. Say you make a million dollars in one year. The Feds take $910,000 of it. Then you pay your state and local taxes. Then you pay your mortgage, utilities, car payment, insurances, cable tv, healthcare, and then you try to put your kids through college with a six figure tuition. And I’ve not even mentioned feeding and clothing your kids. And there are many more expenses that I’ve not even mentioned. So where is the incentive to make money?
She is admitting that she would rather give her money to non-profits rather than the government. Hmmmm…I wonder why? Could it be b/c she really believes that these organizations are more effective than the government at helping the poor? I agree!! That’s why I would rather give my money to the church, Salvation Army, crisis pregnancy centers, and individuals who I know need it.
Margaret Hammer Hulse and I wonder how much she gives. Maybe she is like Joe Biden who gives a measly $500 to charity out of the millions he has.
Lynn Lee there is no basis to conclude that the wealthy make their money illegally.
Education doesnt always mean intelligence.
