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 $470,000 and higher.
She based her argument in part on the fact that wealthy individuals paid as much as 90 percent in taxes during the presidencies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy.
Find out how Carlson countered her argument and revealed her for the socialist ideologue she is on the next page.
Economics for dummies?
Our money is devalued. Billions of dollars disappear . Government agencies run rough shod over the masses. Feds control half of the land and good portion of resources. Colleges have become indoctrination camps
She has no clue. Wealthy people reinvest in their businesses with salaries and income tax withholding, as well as social security that the left does not recognize. How many thousands of workers would lose jobs when their employers costs are doubled?
I’s sure she meant everyone else should pay higher taxes. Just like democrat Congressmen and women that shoved ACA up our butts and excused themselves for having to c**p made available at NON affordable prices
Won’t give her money to the governmentBecause she says she gets to charities guarantee you she takes it off as a tax deduction
Won’t give her money to the government, says she chooses to gives to charity but she takes that deduction to charities
Won’t give extra money to govt, says she chooses to give to charity, bet she takes that tax deduction!
She’s not talking about growing the economy.shes talking wealth redistribution . And it’s already been proven over and over that socialism does not work….she probably makes at least 100000 so maybe she’d like to take 50-75% less if that so that college is more affordable?
Well the wealthy donates to charity there Professor and still pay more in taxes than you. You see dingbat rasing taxes only means the dingbats like you will have more money to spend on stupid$#%&!@*or give it to countries that hate us,and that’s not doing a thing for the economy.
Tucker you are right on
