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.
A fair tax would be the same percentage across the board. Expecting someone to pay 80% in taxes is a joke.
Yet another liberal who thinks someone else should foot the bill. I love her explanation about how she writes checks to non-profits. Yeah, so she can get a deduction on her taxes!
So predictable, idiots like her always always want to spend other people’s money. I’ll bet her wealthy family is so proud of her. Not!
Or they don’t pay at all.
Plus they make themselves look so damn unattractive. Lol
QUESTION TUCKER…..Does she take all the deductions she is allowed ……if so why ???? Why not just give the money to the government with no deductions what so ever …if you are going to give other people’s money away ….start with your own first ……..MOST PEOPLE take all the deductions they can…..and to think that someone that has more money than you had the same deductions as you isn’t logical……..they own more properties, businesses, ( they may have one business that is making a terrific profit while another might be more expensive to maintain or loosing money ) . We don’t know what their profit an loss sheet reads for a month or year, so therefore to lump them as just RICH and need to pay alot more than the average tax payer isnt right …..TO JUST LUMP RICH PEOPLE INTO A MOLD AND SAY THEY NEED TO PAY MORE BECAUSE THEY ARE WEALTHIER THAN THE REGULAR PERSON JUST ISN’T RIGHT …….they take deductions like the normal person, and no one wants to just give their money away ……but if they did, that would be a deduction also ……so the cycle goes on
She should be very careful. Those 1% people give a lot of money to our bloated and wasteful university programs. That money would go elsewhere and her salary would be cut. Maybe that’s a good thing.
He should’ve asked her if she took deductions on her donations!
