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.
I’m not sure I understand what makes it ok to tax punish people based on how much they make. If I pay 30% and they pay 30% I’m ok with that, just because they found a away to make money shouldn’t be a reason to Target them….I really don’t see the rational in this argument
Think about your statement, based on your numbers both parties would be equal in salary, so she is definitely for socialism. I cannot fathom how anyone can say anyone should give away 80% of their earnings. What’s the point of working. She is an idiot
No point in being wealthy then. If I was taxed that much, I’d get a manufacturing job and make 40k instead of have all my salary and investments taken away.
Typical, everyone must do as a progressive says but they dont do the very thing they demand others do.
Way to go Tucker
Very true!
Carol Coutinho if you think the country can’t go broke you are you are in denial it’s happened before. The US has aways helped remember the Marshal Plan. If The US goes broke there is no one who could or would bale us out.
