A Student Who Wants Free Everything Gets an Extremely Rude Wake-Up Call When Someone Checks Her Math
IJ Review ^ | 11/12/15 | JOE PERTICONE

Posted on 11/13/2015 8:52:05 AM PST by Impala64ssa

Fox Business channel host Neil Cavuto challenged college student Keely Mullen, an organizer for the “Million Student March,” leaving her at a loss for words on how to explain paying for a plethora of “free” programs.

Calling it an “equitable and fair system,” Mullen listed the group’s grievances with the education system in America, stating:

“So the three core demands of the national day of action are free public college, a cancellation of student debt, and a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage — um — for people who work on the campus.” Cavuto then pressed the panhandling millennial, asking her “how’s that gonna be paid?” After a moment of dead air time, Mullen responded, saying:

“Um, great question. I mean, you know — so, I’m not sure if you’re talking about like on a national level or particular schools. I can sort of touch on both.” Cavuto interjected, asking her who would “pick up the tab” for all of her free demands. She insisted “the one percent” should foot the bill.

The conversation only got more tense from there. When Mullen told Cavuto that wealthy Americans should pay 90% of their income in taxes, he suggested that could result in drastic changes for the American economy:

“Let’s say you tax them — they’re smart folks these people — these one percent hoarders right? So they leave here, then who’s gonna pay for all this stuff that you want?” Mullen, left in disbelief that top-earning individuals would move their resources outside the U.S. under the burden of a 90% income tax rate, said:

“I mean there’s always gonna be a one percent in the U.S. As she put it, the U.S. is a “bastion of um — um of capitalism and success.”

Indeed.

She attended the most expensive private school in San Diego. Then on too an expensive school in Boston. She is part of the 1%.

Ideology trumps logic for these people. Even after everything goes bankrupt, they still want more. Cavuto tried to bring her back to realism with Greece, but she wasn’t buying it.

I thought the students were all protesting the out of control racism & fear on College & University campuses.

So why is Keely "Snowflake" Mullen, like, wanting free college, loan forgiveness & $15.00 minimum wage for the slugs that have to work and go to skewl.

"Hey Look Mom & Dad!! ...going on national TV to make a fool of myself!"

They’ve been letting anyone in since many schools expanded during the Vietnam War (to accommodate draft dodgers). Private schools in particular have sunk the furthest; any high school classmates rejected by state schools went to private colleges for at least a year before re-applying to the state schools...

I’m waiting for one of these idiots to ask obama to just print more money and give it to them. Yay! Problem solved! Who needs the 1% when we can make all the money we want?

At what point do these people think they become responsible for their education, healthcare, reproduction, etc etc?

Yes! I think you are on to something, here! There was a time not so long ago where undesirable behavior was rewarded with shunning. It might be worthwhile to bring this back again.

Cavuto should have asked her if she had donated any of her better-than average grades to less fortunate others.

Dopes like her are taught by dopes like her. The whole system is crashing down into a minority mill of mediocrity.

Another good answer is to state you are OK with fifteen bucks an hour, as long as it is payed to people who didn’t work for it.

After all, that is exactly what they are demanding of the so-called “one percent”.

If you think the college entrance standards are low now, wait until college is FREE for everyone. (/s)
