Neil Cavuto Repeatedly Confronts Student Pushing Free College Plan With Harsh Facts (Brutal)
The Blaze ^ | 11/12/2015 | Tré Goins-Phillips

Posted on 11/12/2015 6:48:44 PM PST by Beave Meister

Keely Mullen, an organizer for the Million Student March movement, joined Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto on the air Thursday to discuss the movement’s demands for free public college, student debt cancelation and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for student workers. In the awkward 9-minute interview, Cavuto repeatedly cited facts and figures that seemed to fluster the student.

When asked who would pick up the tab for the demands she listed, Mullen said, “The 1 percent of people who are hoarding the wealth and causing a catastrophe students are facing.”

“If the 1 percent just had their taxes raised a few years ago back to almost 40 percent then to pay for the healthcare law, they had them raised another few percentage points, then they had their deductions limited to raise another couple points — depending on the state or locality — they’re pushing over about 50 percent in taxes,” Cavuto told Mullen. “How much more do you think they should pay?”

Cavuto’s question, asked within the first two minutes of the interview, became the centerpiece of the entire discussion, as Mullen was unable to provide a clear answer.

This is almost hard to watch. This young woman has the intellectual capacity of a 10 year old. And now, whenever you google her name, her vapidness will be on display forever.

I’ve read several threads on this story already today on FR.

No need to do so again at the Blaze and fight my way through the click bait.

If college is free, I may as well stay in it the rest of my life. Government gives these clowns more than they need to go to college. Why work when you can stay in college and get paid for it?

There should be some sort of medical testing for brain wave activity before you get admitted to college.

The Million Student March was a flop-—no surprise with bimbos like this in charge.

Social movements tend to have a charismatic man in charge, Che, Castro, Mao, Lenin, Ho Chi Ming, etc.

She is a victim of years of Communist professors implanting nothing but garbage into her head..pretty girl with ZERO brains. One day when she is much older she will look back at that interview and realize how stupid she was..As Judge Judy has said repeatedly on her show, beauty fades but dumb is forever

You should've written it as follows: Social movements tend to have a charismatic man in charge, Che, Castro, Mao, Lenin, Ho Chi Ming, Obama, etc.

Obama's name belongs with those communist tyrants.

That young lady was just plain stupid. Why tax people to pay for idiots to become even more stupid.

I hope she was totally embarrassed.

If I were her parents I would be forced to wear a paper bag over my head in public, change my phone number, move away......or live in a hole somewhere and wonder how we could raise such a totally stupid child or lament that we didn’t eat her at birth like some wild animal. This embarrassed me to watch it........God have mercy on this country........

She is a dingbat. What elementary grade level is she studying in college?

Our places of higher learning are now producing little more than cluelessness.

What college or university does she attend? She is totally void of good common sense.

The real scam in all of this is that university administrators are using “students” like her as conduits for federal loan money. They get it for free and without any risk, which they use to fund their “social justice” initiatives, campus rec centers, jobs for “diversity coordinators,” and every other nonsensical leftist program imaginable.

Then their students, having learned little if anything, are stuck with the bill. If they can’t repay, the government is on the hook.

We desperately need to defund this whole scam. I’d say let the students declare bankruptcy if they can’t find jobs after a few years above a certain income level, and claw back the money from the universities and their admins.
