Fox Business host Neil Cavuto engaged a scholar in earnest Socratic dialogue Thursday.
Keely Mullen is a national organizer for #MillionStudentMarch, a movement that demands âtuition-free public college, cancellation of all student debt, and a $15 minimum wage for all campus workersâ in response to the crisis caused by rapacious corporate education.
â#MillionStudentMarch is a movement for a more equitable and fair system of education as opposed to the really corporate model we have right now,â Mullen said.
Mullen is a graduate of the prestigious Francis W. Parker School and political science student at Northeastern University, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Cavuto asked how this agenda would be financed.
âGreat question, I mean, you know, soâIâm not sure if youâre talking about a national level or per school?â Mullen said.
When pressed, Mullen said that the top one percent of earners needed to pay tax rates upwards of 90 percent, a rate 10 percentage points higher than that proposed by socialist Thomas Piketty. Mullen said it was worth it.
âI live in a world and I see a system around me where there is a population that is doing nothing to contribute to the progression of society,â Mullen said, referring to the freeloaders at the top who pay more in taxes than the bottom 90 percent of earners combined.
When Cavuto pointed out that even a 100 percent tax on the top one percent of income earners would be insufficient to fund Medicare for three years, much less free college tuition and a $15 minimum wage, Mullen delivered a devastating rebuttal.

That was my point, but you're right that she'll probably never even get the chance.
We are being swamped by evil, and it is infuriating to watch. Makes me so sad.
Makes me MAD........
