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.
If you tax the rich at too high a rate, they move their companies overseas. Odd that restarted out as a protest against to high taxation, and not getting representation, and now we get representation that thinks higher taxes is a winning ticket.
Unfortunately, proving she is a fraud and misguided will not change her opinions about the “beauty” of Government control and Socialism one little bit. She is a privileged Liberal Socialist living in a protected University environment and allowed to spew stuff against the very system that has provided her this very status and advantage… rich privileged Liberals are always against the very system that made them so! She believes in Socialism, because she thinks she would be one of the elitists lording over the masses! Instead of staying in your cushy protected environment, move to Cuba or Venezuela and earn your “stripes”!
I have a hard time watching your show. It’s hard to stomach some of those Idiots.
Herself that all
Idiot
Typical dumbacrats raise taxes!
I sued the IRS over its penalty policy last year, providing statistical proof it forced me to overpay my taxes on average by a Hugh amount. This overpayment totals over almost $400 billion dollars a year for individual taxpayers. My claim lies in the US 5th Amendment that does not allow government taking without recompense (interest). All my proof was disallowed by the Federal Tax Court Judge as irrelevant to the tax code. Only solution will be to file in US Federal District Court.
Now, this $400 billion is sent by you directly to the US Treasury and spent. Then Congress must vote up funds to repay it to you. Get the scam? Vote yourself a $400 billion tax cut by pushing your legal rights.
Anyone want to crowd source me?
Great idea. Qualified technicians do well in ALL societies and under ALL political systems. HVAC, plumbing, electricians, auto mechanics, welders, all pay well. Master plumbers in Texas make as much as $100,000 per year.

Many trades offer large cash discounts, can’t figure that out. Duh.
Wow, another hypocrite. She doesn’t take in to consideration that wealthy people give millions to charities. She and Her wealthy parents would be exempted because they give to charity. What a joke she is.
