"Haters?" Oh, how liberals love to toss that word out for those who disagree with their liberalism!

This isn't "bullying," nor is it "hate." It's a dose of reality. These kids are being taught this nonsense, and they believe it. That is what's tragic. They really believe this crap!

The democrats destroyed the economy with their home loans for people who couldn't pay them back.

Then Obama doubled the national debt from $9 trillion to $18 trillion (after complaining that Bush had been unpatriotic for spending half that much.)

Now the Democrats (who are Communists, in truth) are telling the kiddies that they can have everything for free.

Yeah, just keep pushing that fairy tale and watch rich people move to Switzerland, the Caymans or Tahiti.

They can live anywhere -- nobody can stop them from leaving and spending their money elsewhere.

Should I spend my money on this ungrateful, clueless brat, or should I spend it on a nice steak dinner?

The question answers itself.

I really can't stand this liberal notion that once you make a certain amount of money it should be taken from you and given to others.
Cavuto was explaining to her that the 1% were already being taxed at a high rate but she just wants more and more until all of the things she thinks she and her generation think they are "entitled" to, become more affordable (or free!)
Cavuto is right... push it too far and rich people will just leave and live somewhere else.

if education leads to good jobs, then it would behoove those young aspirants to save their money, secure their own funding and pick the right field of study to ensure employment and ability to pay off debt.

If Keely Mullen is a prime example of what an educated young person is these days, we're in HUGE trouble. She had NO CLUE of which she spoke. Poor girl has rendered herself unemployable in any type of a business capacity whatsoever.

She's a Political Science and Sociology major at Northeastern University, Boston. Liberal arts major. Zero critical thinking skills. Anyone surprised?

.
Truth: Wealth is created. There is no wealth "pie" that is finite. Wealthy people do not "hoard" their money; they invest it, which allows others to grow a business and create more wealth, no only for the investors, but for other people, and they create jobs and opportunity for people like this young lady to begin growing their own wealth. It's a long process, and it takes hard work and drive, but that is how wealth is created.

If I were this child's parents, I would pull her out of school so fast it would make her head spin, and tell her to get a job and work. Her formal education is done. The best place to learn about how the world works is not through "higher 'education'" but through life experience. These college kids are 'know nothings.' They have learned nothing but the rhetoric of the Left. "America is bad. The system is rigged (Elizabeth Warren). Rich people are greedy," etc., etc. But who's really greedy? They are those who think somebody else should pay for them.
Don't count on her parents understanding any of the truth, either. She said her family was on several public assistance programs and they're barely scraping by.

I actually feel sorry for her because she made a COLOSSAL fool of herself.

Millions were invested in the ridiculous "Cash for Clunkers" program, which resulted in a dearth of good used cars, pushing the prices of available used cars way up. That program was a failure.

When Obama bailed out GM, he violated the law, and those who had invested their hard earned money in GM got screwed. They should have been paid first.

There is nothing wrong with what I posted. That's how the system works. Private investors put their money into stocks which help a company grow. They do not "hoard" their money (which would be stupid ... you want your money to work for you). It is when the government gets involved that the system breaks down. This system has worked well for all of our history, which is how America became the wealthiest nation in the world with the highest standard of living. Look at the Reagan years, when the economy was booming. What changed? One thing that changed was Jimmy Carter's "chickens" coming home to roost (the CRA) which had been predicted and warned about for many years; the bad loans that were made and then bundled and sold to investors as "mortgage backed securities." They became worthless.
They put their money into oil running it up to almost $150 a barrel which harmed the economy.

College graduates don't create businesses and jobs?
