http://www.barstoolsports.com/barstoolu/college-girl-solves-the-student-loan-crisis-says-rich-people-should-pay-for-100-of-college-tuition-and-pay-off-everyones-debt/ [quote]College students across the country are protesting student loan debt, arguing that public university tuition should be free. Organizers of the Million Student March argue that students today are taking on “crippling” debt in order to obtain a degree, calling for outstanding loans to be forgiven. [/quote] My dad dealt with a huge student loan debt. Wanna know how? [b]He worked hard at college in order to attract the interest of employers who were willing to give him high-paying jobs. He then worked hard in those jobs in order to make more money.[/b] [quote]Cavuto pointed out that in recent years the one percent has seen their taxes go up to between 40 and 50 percent. “How much more should they pay?” he asked. Mullen countered that the one percent should be taxed until all of it is paid and families aren’t living in poverty. [/quote] Yes, because people who are poor are the problem of the rich people for some reason. [quote]He then asked what would happen if the wealthy responded by leaving the United States. “There’s always gonna be a one percent in the U.S.,” Mullen answered, adding that the one percent can “absolutely” afford it. Mullen said she and her friends would “absolutely” be OK with paying a 90 percent tax rate if they someday earn $250,000 a year or more.[/quote] I'm just gonna let that sink in. [quote]An astonished Cavuto joked that one would have to be “high as a kite” to want to pay that amount to the government. [/quote] I think you'd have to be as high as a kite to even consider wanting to pay that much. [quote]Cavuto said that even if there was a 100 percent tax on the most wealthy, it wouldn’t even be enough to cover Medicare for three years. “I don’t believe that. That sounds completely ludicrous to me,” Mullen said, bringing up how much was spent to bail out the banks in 2008. Cavuto said that the hypothetical 100 percent tax wouldn’t bring in close to enough revenue to cover the costs of the students’ demands. [/quote] I...I don't...what...I...*Brain breaks* And finally we have this beautiful quip from the site that posted the article I linked. [quote]Wait is this how ideas work? I want to do this. I want all my student debt gone. I want free healthcare. I want my bank account to double every month. I want a Chipotle in the lobby of my apartment. Oh yeah that apartment, I don’t want to pay rent on it anymore. Can I keep going? This is awesome. Is that a hand raised in the back…what…who is going to pay for all that? Ummm I don’t know. Rich people. What? Rich people don’t have enough to cover all that even if you took 100% of all their money? Ok well who gives a -blam!- then. Nobody told me I had to come up with a way to pay for it. I thought we were allowed to just say awesome ideas that made us really happy? Is that not the game? [/quote] I know this happened a few weeks ago, but I just had to post it. Also, can Fox please slam stupid people more often? It's fun to watch.
