Nah, Tucker was born rich, and inherited $160 million from his parents.

When Carlson was in first grade, his father moved Tucker and his brother to the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, California, and raised them there. Carlson attended La Jolla Country Day School and grew up in a home overlooking the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. His father owned property in Nevada and Vermont, and islands in Maine and Nova Scotia.

The big inheritance seems to come from frozen food of all things:

His dad later married Patricia Caroline Swanson (an heiress to the Swanson frozen-food enterprise) in 1979. She legally adopted the boys.

Then he got quite a significant salary from Fox.

I have never seen any reason to doubt his integrity.

I haven't watched Tucker on anything since forever. There are better deep divers in the alternate presses.

i saw whole speech, seemed reasonable to me.

i too am pissed at watching entire society pay back breaking taxes. but rich buy government and exempt themselves from taxation.

inflation is great, everything they got is inflation protected and goes up. trickle down is biggest load of bullshit

A lot of very rich aren't particularly smart nor talented; yet they have done what was right at the time to accomplish wealth.

Does Tucker complain about the richest guy in the world, Putin?

The second richest is Elon Musk; is he a rocket scientist? (Spacex, no); is he an engineer? (Tesla, no). Does he believe in total nonsense like we need to colonize Mars? (yes).

The list is endless. Guys like Ackerman get rich selling the idea to others that he can make them rich.

Who else sells this idea for huge profit? Joel Osteen, Tony Robbins, and others.
Does Joel have special skills or knowledge? Does Tony Robbins have special skills or knowledge?
No to both.

Some guys make money from being intelligent and others by being clever evidently.
They all seem to be working hard at it even if it's mostly bullshit.

I miss Steve Jobs being around because he was rich for a reason.

Edit: Off the subject, now only 6 people ignore me; previously it was 7. How did that happen?

So he's useless. He talks and was born rich.

He's not associated with any big investments or accomplishments at all.

"Class Traitor"
"Useless Billionaires"
"Wealth Inequality"

Horseshoe in Action.

I've learned more interesting details from Tucker's interviews than I have from any other journalism.

The new interview with Santos is excellent, telling a lot about how Congress really "works".

Yes, I lost one ignore also.

Patrick can fact check me since it's his site, I think if a user requests to have data deleted the ignore would go away.

do i have people ignore me? i have no idea how to check that even

Yep, I lost one too. --- And I work hard for my ignores.

Lost ignore=deceased member? Serves him right ;)

Dear Mr. Panican,

You claim that Tucker is not associated with any accomplishments at all. I wonder if you’d apply the same stiff, unyielding judgment to yourself? I’ll help you; you have 10 followers here on Patrick’s blog. That’s 10 more than me, so congratulations. But in comparison, on only one venue, YouTube, Tucker has 4.28 million followers. I didn’t even bother to see how many others he has on his TCN, etc, but I’m fairly certain that it’s more than your ‘10.’

Also, based on your derogatory statement about being born rich, am I wrong in saying you appear to have a serious problem with people inheriting money from their family? Perhaps if you were king, you would do away with all of that?

A guy who inherited tens of millions of dollars from the Swanson estate is going to moan and groan about "useless rich" who actually took risks and invested and grew useful businesses.

That's called "Hypocrisy".
