Moocher, speaking its mind. This mentality, the sheer stupidity, is a big part of the problem.

    I really have no idea what you are talking about. Just take that statement as evidence you are correct. I suggest you save yourself some aggravation and ignore any comments I make on any topics.

    There are people from many schools of thought in the Gulch. That's what makes it so interesting. That and polite, respectful arguments.

    seig me no heils comrade I don't serve your party...and neither do I serve Plato, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Engels, Stalin, Hitler nor George Soros. Gaia is cutsey katiespeak....Try Terran and leave that sexist PC garbage behind. Now for heel clicking lessons. You aren't ready for this level. We're not conservatives here or any other label and that's your weakness. Carville-isms won't works just facts, cites, reasoning and thinking. so go ahead make your case for a Plato based economy.

    Just remember. I may have thrown the gauntlet and accepted the challenge but in this duel I'm far from the most educated nor close to the most skilled. I'm third tier. Have at it prove your point. You are on your own. the floor is yours. 1% and 100% is the subject for debate. You framed it. Now I own the frame Here's a hint. Start with 1/10th of one percent. Or go straight to the top and start with 1 out of the entire population. the top of the billionaires club. All Socialists all billionaires all elitists and all thanks to Plato exempt from your one percent fantasy..

    It's not personal ...it's business. our business is educate those who have never had the experience. Ms MamaGumpitis is equally welcome.

    It certainly makes for an interesting situation, where the spoiled brats, er, students are biting the hand that feeds their Marxist tendencies!

    The campus "revolts" couldn't have occurred at a better time for our side. Along with the "black lives matter" movement, the takeover of campuses by radical leftists presents Democrats with a no-win situation that is likely to cost them millions of votes next year, regardless of which side they pick.

    Please, next time, provide a "trigger warning." Having a root canal without novocaine is preferable to watching this.

    The title is a misnomer. That student wasn't embarrassed, she was tolerating Mr. Cavuto's ignorance.

    I, on the other hand, was cringing at her ignorance and insistence o one solution (the 1% can pay for anything and everything) without feeling the need for any facts, other than "yes, absolutely," to back it up.

    There was one redeeming quality to the video, I am relieved to learn we won't be on the road to socialism until the 1% have a 100% tax on their income. Whew...and here I thought we were already going down that road. Silly me.

    Some years ago it took 2.0 to pass and graduate. A D level student got a diploma that said Attended not graduated from. An F level student wasn't invited to graduation. Back then D was for showing up and not disrupting the class.Social promotions, inflated honor rolls and four point plus student grading was not yet in the system.

    Realistically, there is no hope at all that she will ever learn to use her brain. The brain, like any other organ, atrophies when not used and this one is obviously quite virgin.

    Yesterday, I walked into an antique store as the owner was watching this very video. She was livid!
    We had a nice long chat about the issue (she apologized for dumping on a prospective customer), when I steered the discussion to similarities in Atlas Shrugged.
    The owner said she had never heard of Atlas Shrugged, so I proceeded to create another likely Objectivist convert (and her spouse, I hope).
    And, yes, I made a purchase, before leaving the store.

    As the old saying goes, "Like shooting fish in a barrel." All the fancy words, high-sounding words, destroyed by the asking of one question. You go Neal!

    It's worse than you think. She probably has taken Econ 101, and either cheated her way through or "passed" with a D+.

    Cavuto does a good job. He dealt with the young lady as Dawkins deals with a priest. Well done.

    But she does have an idea. It just what she been indoctrinated with by her liberal professors. College and university campuses are secluded bubbles of non-reality. It is an echo chamber for collectivism and socialism. Anyone who disents is quickly run off on a rail because even though colleges are supposed to be a location for the free exchange of ideas, they are very insular. It's a "you can say what you want as long as it agrees with my point of view" world. And if you disagree, you must have your voice silenced or your disenting point of view may contaminate their "pristine paradise" of being the underdogs constantly being persecuted by the rich that they must protest against because everyone knows they stole all their riches from the poor.

    Adult by accident of birth and picking an arbitrary number they are not adult which implies responsible and responsibility. No evidence of that in this case. Now we read of a REAL revolution run from the campusii. No doubt quotiing that loser Che when they should be studying Marighella. Students by definition learning to be something. Theu are not something. Better they hide out on the campus's They are not Symbionese Liberation Army caliber.

    These unenlightened, spoiled brats think wealth "Just happens." The gap between their viewpoint and the functional universe is too large to bridge with a discussion.

    The country is in dire need of mandatory courses in functional economics staring in grade school. - I remember math problems, in fourth grade, being presented as "A truck driver earns $---- but that was in 1944.

    I am SO DONE with political correctness. I say people should just deal with things said. Everyone is entitled to say what they think and feel, not just the protestors. If I think the current entitled black culture sucks, I am going to say it. In fact, I do think that the entitled black culture sucks, along with any other culture that is into the entitled mode.

    Yes, subsidizing education is the true contributor to the outrageous costs of higher education. It is truly unfortunate the issue is being taken at face value and the root of the issue is ignored or misunderstood. The right to the pursuit of an education is all we as individuals truly have. We have no claim on another's product and this is the issue completely ignored in the interview. Because the unfortunate marriage of higher education and the government clearly is untenable and undesirable we must therefore demand the government provides it at no cost? I am having a hard time following the logic in any of this.

    I trust that you are not proposing that the Trustees liquidate the endowment to pay for all its students' education? The purpose of an endowment is more surgical in nature, and is also established with legal guardrails that likely would prevent that anyway...

    Amen to that... take a look at what has happened in Missouri and is now brewing in Ithaca NY and you will find the proof of schools being "government indoctrination centers". As someone who is a school Board member for a community college, I suspect that these two schools are just the beginning.

    I personally could not listen beyond the 5 minute mark. This girl is not actually equipped mentally to be in a college. She is a product of the public school system that does not actually educate the students that show up. This is what the country is coming too. She has no idea of the horror show life will be if what she wants would actually take place.

    Yes, one way or the other she'll end up on the government "payroll" with a lifelong chip on her shoulder. A teenager for life, suckling on the society's teat.

    I think this deluded moron is facing the wrong way. Maybe she should be going after the college or university she is attending. Harvard has an endowment that if they were to use it could provide all its students with a free education. However, the trustees see no reason to do that, because the Federal government is so willing to subsidize higher education. They can keep raising tuition, and the government will keep increasing tuition assistance, which means the schools can raise tuition again. So you have this death spiral of the higher education system where the price tag gets higher and the standards get lower and lower to get more recipients of the government money supply into the pipeline for collection. So colleges and universities are putting out people like this woman who is in no way ready to live or contribute in today's society.
