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.
This is a stupid argument pushed by small minded Lefties who tend to be lazy pricks. Having the government take more of the people’s money has never been a good idea. Rich people don’t have bags of cash laying around or else they won’t be rich for long! They keep their money working.. which means JOBS for millions of people.
He should have asked her how does she know that they don’t donate money to organization as she says she does?????
She sends her money to non profit organizations and wgat makes her think that the top 1% don’t do the same thing? SMDH
Democrats are a mental disorder
Spreading hate is the sole responsibility and shamefulness of
Democrats, MSM, Professors, Entertainers and Hollywood are directly responsible for this terrorist attack. The shooter was a Bernie campaign member… Bernies last speech can be tied directly to this attack.
So, she gives most of her income to “charities”for the tax break on her personal taxes….
The libertard mind is truly an entertaining (and wasted) piece of anatomy. The rational thought processes have been completely shut, as have the critical thinking and truth recognition abilities. They like to claim that Ovomit did so much to help the poor and disadvantaged but are totally incapable of actually analyzing the data and seeing the truth before their eyes. Under Ovomit over 99% of wealth growth went to the top 1% earners in the country (you know, the ones who could afford to make “political contributions,” aka, bribes). Under Bush that figure was 65% and under slick Willy it was 45% (I hate giving him credit for anything other than boffing secretaries and aides but facts are facts). What the policies of Ovomit actually did was push more Americans out of the work force, increase the wage gap and poverty, put more people on foodstamps (especially among blacks), crush small business and redistribute American wealth around the world. They just don’t seem to understand that lowering taxes helps everyone, not just the rich. The truth is that the top 1% already pay more taxes than the rest of us combined, but that requires those precious critical thinking and truth recognition abilities that libertards are completely lacking in.
The other thing that the libertard mind can’t recognize is hypocrisy. Maybe because, as this woman demonstrated, they’re all swimming in it.
How true. If they tax the “top %1”, bet the “top %1” will disappear. What incentive would there be to work hard and make your fortune???? And be as poor as she is…..????
And that is what’s wrong with our country right there she is a professor and teach that bleeding heart c**p to the snowflakes. If I was a 1% I would find a way to hide money and make “less than” 470k. Way to kill an economy
Hallelujah. Where in the hell do these people come from. I am beyond baffled
Love Tucker!
