All campus employees should earn a min of $15 an hour, and then taxed 90 percent on their higher wage. Then they can take home less money than when they earned only $8 an hour. I really hope her parents decide that scraping by to pay for her tuition is not worth it.
“Someone is behind the scenes pushing this.”
I believe this also.
This is a warm-up for life under a post-2016 Republican administration.
If that girl is college educated we might just as well shut down the colleges right now.
She wasted her time and mony because she is still dumber than a box of hammers.
That video is evidence that she was scammed and should demand the university refund her tuition.
The guy who runs the local lawn mowing business has a much greater understanding of economics than this brainless twit.
I’ve often asked that question of people proposing and supporting minimum wage hikes. Why not$100 an hour or a million?
When they start talking about not being able to raise a family on the current minimum wage, my question turns into, “So, can you raise a family on $XX?” (their minimum wage proposal amount), the answer is always no. It is ultimately an emotional outburst, not tied to reality or facts at all.
The funny thing is they do not do what she is asking for in Progressive Europe and they are wanting us to be like them, but no offense I do blame whatever generation had us believe that college should be for everyone because it isn’t clearly.
I watched the whole thing.
I need to get drunk to get my smarts back.
If this is demonstrative of the next generation of adults, we’re past screwed, as many of these asshats will become policy makers and bureaucrats.
Cavuto should have brought out a homeless guy who has absolutely nothing. To that homeless guy, this girl is the 1%. Cavuto should have then asked her if she and her family would be willing, right at this moment, to give up enough income to just provide the homeless man a home, food, AND the free education she wants.
My guess is this was the first time she heard of the facts presented by Cavuto which is why she dismissed them
Ah yes - the ubiquitous "comprehensive" program.
The refuge of the leftist scoundrel in Washington and the idiot socialists in liberal colleges.
When you hear either one use the word "comprehensive" you had better grab on to your wallet and your bank book.
Keely Mullen.... an idiot. If she is the best they could come up with for the leadership of this movement, no worries.
Cavuto suggested that she and her family and her friends parents have their taxes raised. She said they were already getting government assistance and couldn’t afford to pay.
You said...
“Keely Mullen.... an idiot. If she is the best they could come up with for the leadership of this movement, no worries.”
The worry comes when they get elected to high office
Pretty safe to say Ms. Mullen has not graced the halls of the mathematics or economics schools during her years in school.
Cavuto did a nice job turning the argument back on her.
I watched that. And he got her to say that she and her comrades would be more than happy to pay 90 percent in taxes once they started making good wages.
I don’t think she thought it through mathematically when she said that there will always be a one percent.
Feel the Bern
It should read:
The Stupid, It Berns
"Let's get 'em!"
That's socialism for ya.
If we had "free" college, it sure as hell wouldn't be for the masses. Little ladies like this would be tracked from middle school into being hairdressers or receptionists.
