Historian Rutger Bregman destroys the hypocrite Tucker Carlson on a unaired interview from Fox news Tucker loses it.

How did you even seen this if it didn't even air?

Leaked.

Doesn't look like he was destroyed. But maybe if you appeal to the politics of left wing emotion it might look that way.

LMAO

Nice response, gotta another "destruction" video from those great journalists at "now this"?

You're welcome!!!

Man I love it when a cocky, obnoxious tv personality gets schooled.

Like the time Paxman got annihilated for example.

You're what's called a low info voter.

Now This? Aren’t they that fringe Left wing group that support and defend Antifa violence?

Tucker Carlson is a little bitch. Even if you agree with him, you should feel embarrassed such a whiny little brat shares your views, and beg him to shut his thin-lipped flap hole.

Are you kidding me?

This guy objectively beat Tucker in their debate and Tucker got angry cursed him out.

There is no way around this, Tucker got obliterated, hard.

@nursedisrespect: are you dense? The Dutch guy is saying higher taxes on the rich and 6less on middle class.....and some how you are against that?

@Sevenizz: Who gives a shit? Or are you trying to say that the interview never happened just because someone you don't like posted the video?

Right, and that is why Tucker was pissed off about it and Fox never aired the interview, because Tucker destroyed the guy, lol. In alternative fact universe maybe.

@rmpumper: Huh? I didn’t watch the video. Now This is fake news - why waste my time?. I’m commenting on their policies.

@Sevenizz: You are a joke. You dismiss the video before even watching it because you don't like the channel that uploaded it. No wonder you are a MAGA idiot.

@rmpumper: Typical lefty. Triggered and name calling anyone who has a different political opinion than them.

@Sevenizz: I am the one triggered? Says the snowflake who is scared to watch a video (which does not include any third party commentary) because he does not like the source.

@rmpumper: How am I triggered when you’re the one doing the name calling?

Sorry, I don’t watch fake news sources. I’m not ‘triggered’, I just don’t watch lies.

@nursedisrespect:

Tucker Carlson calls him a "fucking moron" or something along those lines.

@Sevenizz: Do you need a safe space from the horrible name calling?

@Sevenizz: maybe you can look at facts first before talking . Maybe then You won't be called an idiot.

@Sevenizz: This is not fake. Foxalready confermed it's real and incontext.

You got a link to that Fox confirmation?

Also, could you point out what Tucker said that got "destroyed"?

Tucker Carlson's reps admitted the interview happened by attempting to form a rebuttal. Tucker himself also admitted to it Wednesday on his show.

"Carlson himself talked about the interview on his show Wednesday, reports USA Today.

He acknowledged that his comments were 'rude,' but he said they were also 'entirely accurate,' and 'genuinely heartfelt.'"

As for the interview itself, maybe you should just watch. The interviewee calls Tucker Carlson out for being exactly part of the problem he was interviewing over. Tucker calmly tells him "go **** yourself." He simply had no good response for Rutger's condemnation of Fox's clear bias against taxing the wealthy, and why it exists.

A majority of the statements made by the Dutchman were true. Tucker's only potential rebuttal was cursing him out in a fit of rage. He was struggling throughout.

This is up there with the Stewart vs Tucker video, which is what he was mostly known for before this Fox Show.

He got absolutely obliterated in both videos.

@dreman999: Got a link for that?

See:

@Vaasman

2 posts above yours. Carlson admitted it was real on his show, while his reps admitted it off the show.

The real question is, is Tucker Carlson now fake news too?

I think they should raise taxes on the Ultra wealthy. Most are very left wing and support progressives causes so its important they pay for them. If they want to support candidates like Bernie Sanders they should be prepared to pay into his tax plan.

It amazes me how uptight people are about raising taxes on the super wealthy when:

1) They aren't even close to the demographic being described.

2) Basic economic literature points us towards a more progressive tax structure overall.

Face it, we've got a bunch of dumb poor people conned into thinking that the rich are getting the shaft with taxes. It's absolutely mind blowing.

No no the very wealthy are NOT left wing. They are conservatives.

@HoolaHoopMan: I think there are many Americans who just assume they'll be rich someday, so oppose high income bracket taxes. American dream and all that.

Higher tax issues...

Netherlands has lower taxes.

What is US corporate tax rate 2018?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-tax-provisions-factbox/whats-in-the-final-republican-tax-bill-idUSKBN1ED27K

BUSINESS. CORPORATE TAX RATE: Cuts corporate income tax rate permanently to 21 percent from 35 percent, as of Jan. 1, 2018.

PASS-THROUGHS: Creates a 20 percent deduction for the first $315,000 of qualified business income for joint filers of pass-through businesses such as partnerships and sole proprietorships.

Rutger Bregman is a hypocrite. Rutger Bregman is advocating to keep US in disadvantage with higher corporate taxes when compared to Netherlands . Rutger Bregman should f**k-off is correct.

@ronvalencia: How is the effective tax rate?

Here you go.

Our effective rate was just over 18% on average. But as we've seen, many bigger corporations have ways to get that rate towards 0% e.g. Amazon.

@ronvalencia: you do know that the entire reason why he was call to fox news is that he said they need to tax the rich while at Davos which is an international meeting of corperations. He is not just saying thia about the US.

Would make more sense to aim for 20-25% and eliminate loopholes then.

That's exactly what we should do, except that lobbyists would ensure that the deductions stay. Companies complaining about higher corporate taxes are generally paying under the effective rate even.

@horgen: @HoolaHoopMan: Instead we cut rates further, kept the deductions, continued to claim the deficit is due to profligate spending, and continued to claim that the US is drowning in taxes.

This nonsense is going to push people from "soak the rich" to "eat the rich."

bu bu bu revenue was up from the previous year. It's a spending problem!

Of course we keep them. We can't have rich corporations paying taxes. What are you, mad? :P

Amazon has special tax credit deals and using foreign tax heavens which are not applicable for other companies.

What's important in all of this is not letting it become a race to the bottom kind of thing. That means an increased tax burden for you and me, or less public services for us. A working infrastructure is vital for big corporations to earn their money. They can pay something back for what they earn from that.

Thank you for reinforcing my link explaining that our effective tax rate was well under the 35% you originally posted, and more importantly, in line with the rest of the western world.

It's still higher than red box competition and it's red tape (higher administrative cost) to reach US's 18.6 percent. Your argument fall flat with tax heavens countries.

https://taxfoundation.org/cbo-report-compares-us-corporate-tax-g20/

It turns out that even when one accounts for the various credits and deductions available in the United States and elsewhere, the U.S. places an above-average burden on corporations.

..

The CBO report shows that the United States places a relatively high burden on corporations across multiple measures. It shows why I often argue that the current corporate income tax discourages investment and encourages profit shifting

Note the average effective corporate tax rate NOT just the best case examples.

Keep trying to shift the goal posts all you'd like from your original post. Now you're trying to shop around and find anything to fit your original narrative (seeing as you're changing 'types' of tax metrics now).

It's funny that you're using CBO data though. Aren't these the same guys who are making up numbers and fake news too? I thought Trump and Co. said they were lying about our growing deficit and budget analysis?!?!
