regardless of this argument and who's right, those three hosts ganged up in their GUEST with hostility and laughed at him. the guest has a lot of balls and handled the situation with grace, kudos to you and your attempt to give more money to help your country
They really did jump him.
yeah they did
Yeah should be jumped... its not patriotic to have higher taxes.
This guest is disgusting.
+Marios A. wheres your source? because you are extremely wrong.
+Ryan Embly Do you know how much 250k a year is? That's an extremely high wage compared to the average wage of $81,400 across America. And that's an optimistic estimate, not really representing the 45 million Americans living under the poverty line. So scaling up the tax rate on 250k+ income would not affect their quality of life as much, seeing as they make roughly 9.5 times the minimum estimated living wage of roughly 26k. Besides, the tax rate is scalable, meaning that 250k income wouldn't see that big of an increase in tax rate, whereas people making much more like say 1m+ might see a bigger rise in tax.
Millionaire: let's talk about the country and it's issues
Host: no let's talk about me
your comment is out of context. did you even watch the video?
+Frédéric Acord What are you talking about? It most certainly was out of context because you didn't include the host's question. The point of your comment was to use something that was said to make the host look bad, and you did that by quoting something out of context. Are you not intelligent enough to stang up for yourself, after I call you out, without throwing insults at me?
+Daniel O'Connor If Bill 'O Reilly payed fifty cents on the dollar he'd have 7.5 million per year. He could cover college for all his kids in a year. The host's protests are silly if he makes half of what Bill makes. Especially silly when millions can't pay for the medicine and seniors live off 12,000 per year.
+jordan dyess The left's whole argument is about fairness when it comes to tax rates. You look at someone who is rich and say "why does he need that much money? He would still do fine if we took half of it" I'm sure he probably would be fine if the government took 50% or more, but how is that fair? You don't think rich people have worked hard for their money? You don't think they deserve the life style they have made for themselves? As uncompassionate as it may sound, sometimes poor people deserve to be poor. Social Security is now a scam; The government has stolen so much money from it that there won't be any left when I retire. If you think pouring more money into Social Security is going to work, you're dead wrong. When was the last time the government handled money efficiently? A nation has never taxed itself into prosperity.
Daniel O'Connor everyone should pay taxes proportional to their income except for the rich because that always ends up in prosperity and leans towards stability, not war and destruction and extremist groups and an obliterated government that gets replaced by militants with violent and aimless paranoid ideologies. Helping the less fortunate maintain a standard quality of life always ends up in them scamming you and becoming wealthy too, which is why you should never do it. And no wealthy people have scammed their way to prosperity either. Because helping people means handing everything to them, and has nothing to do with their initiative or decisions. Rich people are always hard workers and earned every penny, and it has nothing to do with circumstances or luck or access to information and education that poorer people can't have.
You're an idiot.
If he's having trouble paying for 6 children and 7 grandchildren, why did he have so many?
Sursion7 These rich pieces of shit expect you to abort your kids because you're too poor, at the same time they want to cut welfare, cut food stamps, reduce school spending. But how dare we tax them and reduce the opportunities for their kids.
+IDNeon357 you wanna give some evidence to support you're statement bud? Or are you just another person that talks shit out of there ass?
***** XD thanks for correcting my typos... Ill let you know when I have an essay so you could do me the honor of proof reading.Also I don't believe I ever asked you a question. But thanks for your input anyways I guess. But please don't get into things that don't concern you.
***** I wanted evidence, but not from you XD. Also I should have an essay coming up swoon. Ill let you know
+IDNeon357 why should you have a child if you can't afford it, you wouldn't go out and buy a new car if you couldn't afford it
The title is just a lie. The hosts aren’t speechless. They didn’t shut up.
lmaoooo
This arrogant, ignorant, selfish person who had more kids than he can afford is exactly why I never watch fox.
I'm outta here.
+Edgehead10075 So, then how do you pay to fix the roads, bridges, etc.
When was that raised? Gas tax. Since I am sure you get screwed if you have a car that's electric and doesn't need any gas. Lets say a Tesla, Nissan Leaf, etc. You probably pay more for the tabs/license plate. Edgehead10075
ooh. They get screwed elsewhere though. Edgehead10075
+Barbara B Lower classes certainly have more kids than they can afford. This guy is saying that he could afford them had he been taxed less.
His class thinks lower taxes are the answer for them and their friends. It doesn't work that way. That got us in a heap of trouble along with an unpaid for war in the middle east. This is the first time in our history a tax cut went along with war spending.
I missed the part where anyone was speechless.
Michael Riley On contrary the opposite. The hosts wouldn't shut up.
Michael Riley Exactly. These hosts are assholes who arrogantly talk over the guest, 3 on 1, trying to drown out the points that he is making. Ridiculous.
Gregory Post Exactly, I think that is what he means by speechless in the title, because they are speechless to his questions so they just keep talking over him until the time is up...
Gregory Post In a way, if you can come out of that interview well with 3 people attacking you it means you can keep your cool and have some defendable ideas. So it makes me view him in a better light because imo they weren't really able to break him.
Michael Riley Seems like it's always an argument on Fox... it might start out civil and talking about facts, but it generally boils down to bickering and making things far too personal.
" I've got 6 children and 7 grand children" Hey you're 65,it is time for them to live on their own !
Yeah 😆
"let's begin with me"
The republican motto
A sure sign of a terrible interviewer - spends more time interviewing himself than the guest.
FOX motto* it’s unhealthy to put all Republicans in the same boat even if it may seem true
AP3X LS is*
AP3X LS but it is true. Republicans care about mememememe, if we talk about someone else, who cares? It’s not me.
Nick Thompson same can easily be said about dems. Grow up in a liberal city like seattle where people wont let you out of a parking lot while sitting at a light or let the door slam in your face while on crutches. Republican people are far more considerate and caring than the left. Which is why i left. Hate. Division. Self centered inconsiderate. And i wont vote left where im at now. And vote out the bill of rights? Until u trust every politician in office and human nature has actually changed ie greed pride envy etc... just because the founding fathers weren’t technological doesnt mean they were stupid
"Lets begin with the basic issue, this country is facing a fiscal disaster-" "No. Lets begin with ME." Sums it up right there folks.
+cj spicy Also, his children have children. And he's still supporting them? Isn't it about time they support themselves and their own kids? For most people in the world when you're about 20 years old you should either be independently economically stable or you're still studying at uni. Which by the way is free in many countries, payed for through taxes. Instead of such extremely important things like bailing out banks as if they were not part of the capitalist ideal they want to portray or spending more than nearly the rest of the entire world combined on the military.
+Ravenhails u never know with millennials these days its quite possible his kids arent working and just sucking up the money he makes
+cj spicy It is hard to accept a down grade , i know been there ; from a Mercedes integro Euro 6 with driver of course to Volvo 8900 , i still don't have to drive , at least that luxury i have left.
Jack van Houwelingen Ya, people just want so much these days. Everybody is in one big competition to look richer than the next person.
+nathan papp Exactly what newer generations ridicule and justly so about preceding generations. This Brit import Fox puppet is a deplorable waste of oxygen.
as a non-american now I understand why fox news is the worst.
lucky
+Han Wang smart
sorry bro.
CNN is worse
+Jim Ben not quite... Anderson cooper is their only good reporter now
"I pay 50% on taxes." Somebody doesn't understand how escalating tax tiers work.
No not really, he exceeds the top rate cutoff by so much that his effective rate is very close to the top rate
THANK YOU
Soon he’ll have nothing if we keep going the way we’re going. Just like in 1932.
@@generalpatton7876 Agreed, if corporate greed and lobbying isn't stopped eventually the government won't have the money to continue subsidizing bad business practices and corporate failure. Then all the "Too big to fails" WILL fail, and take us all out with them.
@@toby1248 I’d argue that hurts his point more then though, he could put all these 13 kids through college incredibly easily if he’s actually around the 50% effective tax rate.
Rich newsreaders pretending that 250k a year is struggling.
Don't make me laugh.
In some cities and situations, some people struggle at 250 k a year plus salary.. see Bay Area in California for example.
@@mx191000 that's Ludacris, guarantee if anyone stuck to NECESSITIES you'd never be broke.
@@TheVaporizer503 the average condo price in the bay area is an upwards of 1.2 million, 250K before taxes is barely making the cut of not being poor, considering how 150K is considered a povery rate in San Francisco.
@@howdy6834 117K is considered the poverty rate in San Fran, and that's for a family of four. Even assuming the other partner does not work (or isn't there), you would not be struggling in San Fran because you'd be making more than double the pov rate.
Depending on where you live, $250k is struggling...NYC being one of those places. Yes, you can choose to live somewhere else and if that is so, shouldn't you be able to choose how much of your money you give?
better world when fox news is no more
agreed
The hosts were right at every point...
+Matt G (oPryzeLP) ur an idiot.
+Chris Tsuke lets nuke it
mysterxyz fox news actually never allows for opinions either and trump seems to be their nazi leader ;)
"This country is facing a fiscal disaster-"
"No, let's begin with me."
LMAOOOO
And that line said it all
There's a misconception that maximum looting is an act of earning. And why do we hire so many English people living with and supporting their grandkids?
The interviewer was avoiding straight up answer the question and the host was keeping him to the task. The host was going from the abstract to the concrete ... from hypothetical to the real. You are a moron.
@@scottetherton2730 No he was just highlighting his selfishness.
He wasn’t left speechless. He never stopped talking!
This was incredibly frustrating. They never let him finish his point. They talked over him. So bad
It is reverted. Usually the host is the one fighting usually a politician or other demagogue, to make order in discussion. At least in democratic or state TV's in the Germany, Czech republic, Austria and I think at least in the mentioned countries wouldn't pass such behavior and type of ein show among the people.
thats your typical fox news tactic. talk over their guests that don't agree with their ideas and attempt to make them look stupid by berating them and not letting them finish a statement. And of course the typical "what about-isms" oh yea well what about this, what about that and it usually has nothing to do with the point that their guests are trying to make
@@crue3139 This was always used by the communist in the Eastern bloc and Soviet Union. "and what about Americans?" even normal people and even now use such "arguments", because it was so common in the worse times of propaganda. Especially after invasions and larger supression of free thinking, during Lazy Gerontocracies
@@lamaahruloma4270 very true. The "what about this" tactic of "debating" is a tactic used by people or leadership that are unable or unwilling to intelligently debate about something. So it's an attempt to distract and divert attention from one subject to another.
It was hard to watch with how much they talked over him but it was great that they let the guest get in the last point and it was a very good point. It's also great that they asked him hard questions. The guest had a good response for nearly everything.
It's funny that the host of the show thinks he's in touch with the common man.
Toxic masculinity
@@Holyspiritrecieved I believe it's just that he's a toxic person, and not anything to do with the fact that he's male.
What makes you think he thinks he's in touch with the common man? What is the "common man"? A Mexican?
With over 20 odd million illegals, are they the conman man?
ua-cam.com/video/2u4Vlgr2iHs/v-deo.html
The host is really working harder running his mouth, talking is really hard, making millions
Danny Sullivan funny/sad I’d say this “immigrant” is a complete ass, who, along with his useful idiots, has no real willingness or understanding to conduct a fair and balanced private forum on the issue. Poor listeners and uninformed bullies.
I’ve got 6 kids and 7 grandchildren what’s a guy like me with tens of millions of dollars supposed to do? I’ve seen people from a lot poorer backgrounds somehow make it work.
"I’ve got 6 kids and 7 grandchildren." Well, if he can't afford all those kids then he should keep his dick in his pants & buy a TV.
"WhAt AbOuT pEoPle LiKe ME???" typical old, white elitist boomer....that judges "millennials" (lumps literally every person under 60 ,millennials' which we are *NOT*) for needing "participation trophies" & "everything for free". How the tables turn lol. Also quite interesting how he condescendingly asked him if he EARNED his million while saying HE *EARNED* EVERY RED CENT. My fucking inflated ass, loser. NOT ONE millionaire or billionaire EARNED eVeRy ReD cEnT. It's amazing how out of touch these ppl are man. Obscene amounts of money for sitting ur flat wrinkly ass down in front of a camera asking biased questions, spreading propaganda and LIES. I LOVE watching them *flounder* looking absolutely incredulous, thinking they really truly did something productive lmao. Oh yeah u sure owned him bud, pulling the anecdotal WhAt aBt MEEEE? WHAT ABOUT THE WORKING CLASS? Also woooww the welfare excuse, he really went there. And said that poor communitues are spending more by using our FREE & GUARANTEED SERVICES police & fire? Sick. They're all sociopaths & i can't wait til this dinosaur way of thinking is long dead along w these kooks
@@crumpeteer6477 lmaoo love that. Should've thought abt that before u lay down then huh buddy?? LOL but poor WORKING ppl w 6 kids who can't afford to FEED THEM are trash sucking the govts teet? Interesting, that.
Wait a minute, did you inherit your wealth? What about me? My parent's didn't leave me anything, 🤣😂
Presenter sounds like an ex-Brit. You can keep him.
Fox host: I have 6 kids, you want me to pay more in taxes
Also fox: if you can’t afford having 6 kids you shouldn’t have had 6 kids
“No let’s talk about me.”
And thus showing no one actually cares about the country, just their own bank account.
You're right, because the government is 'the country' instead of a pack of criminals who just rob U 2 spend on whores & mansions as they flood the place with raw sewage from the turd world so it can collapse & they can pick it up @ a lower price HAHAHA
Conservatism is a destructive selfishness
No one said work and responsibility are bad. No one said ONLY Black Lives Matter. Denmark has high tax rates and a great country with free health care and college and many social benefits. Taxes are high but not so high that they don't have plenty of millionaires. What you and the Republicans don't understand is just because today you have a job and are doing well doesn't mean things can't change. What if you got sick, lost your job and your money? A safety net benefits everyone, including the rich. And free health care means employers don't have to pay for health care. Free college education means a better educated workforce. We're all connected in this economy and that's why Republican selfishness is both selfish and foolish.
yea i was going to same thing english twat is so selfish.
Would have been interesting if he brought up the general demographics income of fox news.
Fox news interviews
Fox news: "What is your position on such and such and so and so?
Interviewee: My position is such and such and so-
Fox news interrupts: My point exactly now lets talk about so and such
Interviewee: Well, certainly I was getting to that, but I was actually talking about such and such-
Fox news interrupts: As it pertains to such and so. But what about such and such?
Exasperated interviewee: Well, sure, what about it?
Fox News: So your position is if such were A and so were B, then you agree with Fox news! You said it yourself, Such and so!
Interviewee: You are taking what I said completely out of context and missing my point entirely
Fox News: Well then, out with it! What is your point?
My point is, Such and such and so-
Fox news interrupts: Well, that's all the time we have for today. We want to think our interviewee for joining us!
RUTheCatalyzt I could hardly get through the video because of that. I don't think the "guest," who would leave any party if he were being treated that way, even said one complete sentence...and who those two assholes in back screwing around on their laptops? "Oh wait, he's not being interrupted enough...let's jump in and help!" ugh.
RUTheCatalyzt Apparently you've never watched Msnbc.
aldm1967 Guess where they learned that from? Or is the argument, "MSNBC does it, so it's okay if Fox does."
I don't like either
aldm1967 Have you ever watched MSNBC or are you just repeating some argument that's been repeated for ten years? I'm not a fan of any 24 hour cable news, but MSNBC 80% of the time treats their guests, from both sides of the aisle, with dignity and respect. They do not interrupt. Al Sharpton has a show that can be bombastic, but if you set aside the Al Sharpton hour, the editorial anchors are completely down-to-earth non-sensationalists who like to hear both sides of the argument. People like Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow will go out of their way to bring up the opposition's arguments to their guests to have them address those, as well. Olbermann is gone (unfortunately), so people can stop with the "MSNBC is just as vile and bad!" shit. It's seriously not true.
The family that owns wal-mart, the richest family in America, is also the family that receives the most welfare... That is not a system that makes sense.
Apparently when Bernie said that it blew through your tiny head, they don't actually receive welfare from the gov't :/
ST3ADYxKICKS Oh, but they do... You see, walmart does not pay their employees a living wage so the government has to compensate for the rest by means of welfare. That's extra profit going into the pockets of Walmart. But maybe your pathetic excuse of a brain can't comprehend the issue.
+Joseph Anderson I completely understand it and you can rest assured that they received no welfare checks from the gov't
+ST3ADYxKICKS The term is called "corporate welfare". Obviously the individuals don't receive welfare checks.
Ok i dont know about where you live but walmarts starting wage is 11.00 an hour here and we have an 8.50 minimum wage. I would say they are being generous. Plus go ahead keep grilling walmart to pay people more that only makes them want to install a full row of self checkouts and have 3 managers sweep the store while robots do the rest. Im sure the managers will be getting more than your $15 and hour you complain about.
2020 - nothing has changed - also if this guy is actually paying 50% in taxes seriously, your accountant is the worst accountant in history.
No way, I can't believe he didn't get called out
I disagree. 2020 - something has changed - the rich pay significant less taxes bc “trickle down economics” or whatever the fuck that means
"I gotta pay more Tax, WHY DON'T YOU" -Idiot Presentor
"I will too" -Rich guy

+Edgehead10075 hey peace mate what did I do
Where can I send a check to help poor Stuart Varney feed and cloth his starving grandchildren? The thought of those little moppets, barefoot and shivering in the snow, simply breaks my heart.
If he pays more than 50% in taxes. , he should fire his tax man.
I was thinking of sending poor Stuart Varney a copy of the Bible -- with the gospel passages underlined where Jesus says "blessed are the peacemakers", and advocates generosity and compassion (the parts that are NEVER mentioned on Fox, among the pitches promoting torture and wars of aggression, despite the frequent claims by these far-right crazies to be "Christians").
8034, thou hast blasphemed against the lord God Mammon.The GOPs only God!
LOL
Anyone else find it funny that fox hires English people to improve their image... As if an English accent will make the shit they spout seem legit
This was such a frustrating thing to watch! Schoenberg's points were never understood or even acknowledged by Varney. What an immature argument.
d3rkaderk4 And your rebuttle is, i'm a sponge who has absorbed the rich propoganda. They earn on the back of hard working people in society, they don't pay living wage, they keep most of that money, which is then kept in offshore accounts or in the stock market where it offers nothing to society. Your most successful companies don't even pay tax because they register those companies in other countries. Your country is failing because you keep listening to how sad the millionaires have it and keep bending over backwards to help them get more. More equal societies have less social ills, have rated highly in happiness, freedom, health and education. America doesn't. America rates highly in incarceration. It's about time you guys stopped sucking at the teat of the rich propoganda and started looking at the facts and real life proof. You are fed a story. A story that has helped the 1% increase their wealth, that has helped them get payouts from the government through scare tactics. They are stories. Capitalism does not exist in your country. This system says if you fail you fail. But your country saved the failing banks, they saved the failing corporations that caused the issues for everyone else. They are too big to fail. That isn't capitalism. Ugh, don't worry about it, you are too blind to the real world. Too indoctrinated in the 'we can all be millionaires if we try hard enough' bullshit. You're gone to reality.
tiggerpupify Didn't read lol. Enjoy being a punk ass little bitch who thinks all rich people are sitting around a table conspiring against you.
d3rkaderk4 If they didn't they wouldn't be rich. They get rich by getting money off everyone else. OF COURSE they are looking after themselves, otherwise they wouldn't be rich.
tiggerpupify Oh you poor ignorant little boy, one day you will grow up.
d3rkaderk4 lol, this is what happens when you don't live in the land of propoganda. You get to think for yourself, use proper statistics and experience countries that aren't controlled by the mega rich. You unfortunately are trapped in the fog that is the USA. A country that fails at every measure of greatness. And only tops the list for inarceration. Keep believing your drips of controlled information. I shall enjoy freedom, and liberty in a country that actually give it ;) see ya.
The fact that this man chose to have six children is his choice and his wife’s choice alone. Step up to the plate and pay for them AND your taxes! 🙄
Taxes is literally theft and you legally can avoid taxes sheesh maybe if you had financial education you'd know that
@@the1427 "Taxes is literally theft"

Taxes aren't theft.
Tax dodging is a crime.
@@zacheryeckard3051 So what's the literal definition of taxes me economics. Please tell me
@@zacheryeckard3051 Lmao lets start at the root then.
@@the1427 Taxes are your half of the social contract.
You follow the rules and share your production with the society through the state, and the state enacts rules meant to serve and protect that same society.
You consent to taxes by continuing to live in and benefit from the country you're paying taxes to.
Like an EULA.
Stuart Varney should first prove that he pays 50% of his income in taxes. I dont think he pays that, its definitely a lie.
Steve Varney doesn't have to put up private bank details and tax calculations in order to prove his point - he obviously makes a lot of money, and consequently it's actually very likely that he pays 50% tax
Of course he needs to prove it if his argument uses that as a basis
Regardless, there are many people who do pay 50% tax combining state and federal, and that's all that matters - that his argument is a fact, that it is in fact true - if not of himself, then of numerous others.
the real question is how he thinks what he has done should be worth double what he already has. hes making more than he needs and more than he has earned already.
+Jermaine Jackson so your saying, after you sell an album once, for example, thug should have to give it away for free because you've already made money...? who would would loan money for cards and houses and businesses if they couldn't make a little interest on it?
I get that most media is biased but holy fuck this host
Lol that rich fuck host doesn't wanna pay tax
+Justus Whittington
There's a difference between thinking we're paying too much in taxes and not wanting to pay any taxes at all. Stuart Varney never says he wants to pay zero taxes, he only says half is too much, do YOU want to pay half your earnings to the government?
+desertfoxcartoon Depends on what we get out of it.
+Lee Proctor
Fair enough. That leads to the next two questions; Are the services the Government is currently providing worth half of your money? Do you trust Politicians in DC more then you trust yourself with your own money?
My answers are no and no, what are your answers?
at the moment a resounding no, to much wasted, to much lobbying, to little infrastructure repaired/replaced
There's no way he's paying 50%, especially after write-offs and loopholes.
Varney is trying to keep his job working for wealthy people. All six of the major networks are controlled by wealthy people. Varney's salary is earned income whereas most wealthy people's income is capital gains, dividends, and carried interest which are taxed at a much lower rate. Like Warren Buffet says his secretary pays a higher percentage of her income in taxes than him. Each of the Walton's get a billion dollars of dividends a year for which they pay a 20% dividend rate.
Yep. He's a smarmy liar.
20% the mosttttt
aldo cela bs hes paying nothing
He should have replied with "your tax guy is screwing you".
I doubt Stuart Varney has any idea what he pays in taxes. He's probably never done them himself.
I could hardly even tell what the guy’s argument was, the hosts just would not shut up
If this was a debate it failed. If this was an interview it failed. Why bring on a guest if all you do is talk at him?
Because the guest was an idiot, who didn't have any facts and didnt have a clue about how the Country's fiscal policies work. I guarantee you, that if he hadnt inherited his money and grown up around wealthy, influential people, he wouldnt have ever become a millionaire. He's just another 'wishful thinker' who has simple solutions for complex issues.
@TheFranksConqueredEuropeWell, for starters, I sure as hell wouldn't raise taxes, that's for certain. However, I think you are going to find out, before too much longer, just exactly how that problem is going to be, not only adressed, but how it is going to be handled to a substantial degree. just remember, though, that the poor will always be with us. But, stealing from the affluent members of society is not going to solve aything. There isn't a simple answer, although what is currently in the works in our economic system will go a long way to solving much of the disparities and indigence that we currently see in the world today.
@TheFranksConqueredEurope Wow, you're really a sad case. I recommend that you watch a video that was posted today from X22, 16 minutes in duration. Hopefully, it will answer some of your questions and concerns. I dont have the time, or the interest, to engage in an economics lecture at the moment. Especially, it would seem, since I would have to start by covering the basics first, just to get you up to speed. BUT, just FYI, the current poor economic situation is entirely due to the Left shutting down the businesses of practcally the entire Country, in case you hadn't noticed, and the negative effect it has had. And then, by blaming this fraudulent travesty, fiasco, and utter debacle on an over-hyped virus, which, not to mention, has been exagerated well beyond its true virulence. Also, try to remember the state of the economy just prior to the CV 19 breaking out; for your aide-memoire, it was at an all time high in many areas.
@TheFranksConqueredEurope OK, I'll give you all of that, and even a thumbs up! But, to accuse me of getting "all of my news from one source", or even that I would get it all from UA-cam is a bit pretentious, and even silly. What I was suggesting is that you watch a singular video, one totally aposite in pertaining to my point and to this discussion. And, thank you, I am fully awake; probably more so than you would ever guess.
@TheFranksConqueredEurope It's because so many of those in Congress are corrupt, paid shills, and they dont want to get off of their gravy trains. Service in the Legislature was never intended to be a career. And, it's because we have had a rather hopelessly uninformed, or simply an apathetic electorate in this Country for too long. I think most people do agree with what the outcomes are that we're all looking for, but not necesarily on how do we get there. All we can do, is to keep trying to wake up the masses, and in calling out the lies and corruption whenever and wherever we see it. I'm an optomist, though, and I believe that things do get better over time. At my age, I just hope to live long enough to see some positive changes; and, I really do think that some just might be coming soon. Peace.
I'm not going to comment in the taxes cuz it's all fucking stupid but that dude definitely held his own against 3 people in a hostile environment.
Yeah, that was impressive. I can't believe these three idiots even call themselves professionals. Typical playground bully tactics.
Omar Gonzalez I would have stuck to the part about taking dividends and capital gains as income and ask them how much money they made on investments last year.
Adam Friedman They didn't chew him up. He tried several times to ask them "why should people who work, like you guys do, pay more than those of us who gain money on investments". He has a point on that. Investments should be taxed at a higher rate. Workers pay less, they are the backbone of the economy. They guy who sits at home, travels the world while his $1M in investments makes him $40K a year should pay more. Sure, I am sure he has worked in the past, but he isn't now AND this guy even stated that he has inherited income AND worked.
When I was a younger man I worked 2 full time jobs- 7 days & over 80+hours a week for over 1,100 straight days. I made 10 bucks an hour at one & 12 another. At tax time - I was taxed like I made $22 an hour. So simply taxing income makes no sense. We have laws your employer must pay overtime but if you do the work of 2 men, where is your incentive? If I filed either W2 separately, in both instances I was entitled to a refund based on what I payed. Put the 2 together ' I owed them money. RIDICULOUS! I did it because after being employee of the year at both of them simultaneously (did I mention I was riding the bus 4 towns away?) someone eventually noticed and promoted me. But Christ what the little guy has to do to get ahead in this country. But the problem is a lot if not most millionaires in this aren't beneficiaries of monolithic wealth, but 1st generation who have backgrounds like mine, so paying more to make it easier for the next guy isn't too popular once you've overcome it. The unfortunate thing is it ends up benefitting the lazy privileged rich, who aren't the majority of millionaires in head count, but are the majority of the dough. Crying fuckin shame.
Chris Bourassa Yeah, I don't think he got chewed up. I think he kept getting rudely interrupted with bully tactics. "OH HERP DERP DERP HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THEY WAY YOU DO?" type stuff.
I never heard 3 anchorman arguing so vehemently against a guest who they supposedly invited for
An interview. It looks like a circus on TV.
They did not invite him to hear what he has to say, he was invited so they could assure people in their audience who may have heard of him that he's wrong
Welcome to faux news
they didn't even let him finish a single point he was trying to make, how rude ..!
That's Fox for you
It's the fox News interview technique.
i literally just wanna hear the man talk for more than 5 seconds without being interrupted. holy shit
Who in the hell does Stuart Varney's taxes? Whoever it is, he needs to be fired.
Either that or Varney's full of shit about paying more than 50% of his income in taxes.
YOU KNOW which it is, Charles. Varney is following standard Fox procedure: that is, lying. Nobody in his income bracket pays 50% income tax.
michael1618034 Federal & State. So many morons in these comments sections. Probably teenagers who have never really had to pay taxes. As an example, $49,774.00 to $254,250,pays 9.3 % in California, 1,000,000+ pays 13.3%. So maximum of 39.6% federal with 13.3% state is 52.6%. Try using your brain sometime.
d3rkaderk4 You seem to be the one not understanding.
d3rkaderk4 ...is utterly wrong (as usual). This clown has no concept of the difference between the marginal percentage rate of income tax and the average rate -- he is quoting the marginal rates as if they were the average rate, so vastly overstating the tax payable at the level of income he cites, There are several other clueless mistakes in his calculation; but let's not waste any more time and effort tying to have a rational debate with this Tea Party crank. It's not going to happen.
I have a family member in showbiz making $300k/year. He has hired a well-known tax preparer in hollywood that does his taxes for him, and he still pays around 50%, so I dont think Varney was lying about that, though he's full of shit on the rest of his argument.
They never give him a chance to talk.The second he opens his mouth they start screaming at him. Its very unprofessional and annoying to watch.
LMAO, They got their ass kicked!! And what do they do?? Stop the interview, just afraid and not willing to say he is right!!
@Eric Hansen Dats wut you tink e looks lack?
"Millionaire Leaves Fox Host SPEECHLESS" poor title.
Unsettled On Purpose More like “Millionaire turns Fox hosts into crazy screamers”
This! This exactly! They don't want to have a reasonable discussion with both sides presenting their views, which are backed by facts. They want to say preposterous statements or ask inflammatory questions, then not let him talk, or answer any of their questions. It was completely annoying and aggravating to watch, I learned nothing of value from this exchange and it only reaffirmmed why I abhor the news as currently presented on television in this country in this day and age. Complete and utter waste of time and money, and completely unprofessional! Ratings are not worth this dribble!
"I have 5 kids and 7 grand kids". Why does the host have to provide his kids and grand kids with everything - now that his kids are grown can't they take care of themselves and their children? Even if his kids need to get scholarships, summer jobs, or internships to pay for their college education, that would be good for their work habits. I'm not arguing for higher taxes, I just find it nonsense for the rich to complain about not being able to provide for their family if they have to pay higher taxes. How about not buying your kids new iPhones, iPods, cars, cloths, toys, computers, or taking expensive family vacations. How about not buying your family whatever they want whenever they want? If the host simply and honestly say, "I don't want to pay higher taxes because I like my money and I want to keep my money so I can have my big house(s), my new cars, my luxurious family vacations, my Ivy League education, my fancy restaurant dinners, my... everything. I don't really care about other people's poverty, if I made it so can they. So don't touch my money", if he was simply honest in that way, then I can respect his arguments. But to bring out the sad story of not being able to take good care of his family because of higher taxes is ridiculous.
Pay half of what you earn, then we will see your attitude. Regardless of how much someone makes, half or more is excessive.
Are you making above $250,000 and complaining that you're not able to take care of your family with higher taxes? You pay less in taxes with dependents. You don't pay half of what you make unless you're making a ton of money and you're single.
d3rkaderk4 Do you guys not have a stepped tax rate over there? Because here, if you earn 250,000 you only pay the highest tax rate on the income over 200,000. The rest is taxed at a lower rate. I have a feeling you guys must have that, considering half way through he said in the 50's it was a 90% tax rate, and they were thriving. So if you earn 250,000 a year you DON'T take home 125,000 if you are taxed at 50%
Because in order to be a host on Fox news you must have no rational thoughts. It's the number one requirement for employment there. And if you don't have any rational thoughts, you can only use fallacies like appealing to emotion. If you would be a simpleton, what else could you do, if saying something constructive is beyond your abilities? He has to open his mouth and say something.
It is his money and if he chooses to give it to his children, then he certainly should be able to. If he wants to give it to the Spahgetti monster then that is his choice as it is HIS money and not the Governments to waste.
As for him making 250k I do not think you understand, if he is taxed 50 percent (both state and federal) that brings you down to 125k income, while that is sizeable and respectable it still means he lost 125k right off the bat.
Now start adding in college tuiitions etc and that money does not go very far at all. Not to mention that rent in say New York alone can be 50k a year for very modest living.
These guys are so out of touch with how the average American person.

I guess we will never know.
@@renji7218 I'm still waiting to find out...
I think that "how" was a mistype. I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to be in the sentance
So... Fox News invited this guy here, then ganged up on him, and didn't let him finish a single thought or sentence for his entire five minutes of air time. WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED?

It's actually hard to debate when there's 3 people against 1 but he was killing it with facts
yes.. not much of an interview when he is endlessly cut off half way through answering any one question.
I remember hearing about a show on Fox and it had like 3-4 Rep. and 1 Dem. hosts, debating and discussing subjects, and I was just thinking, “what kind of 1984 premise is that?”
"you don't need evidence, you just need Math." HAHAHAAHA How people can listen to the idiocy of Fox hosts is beyond me.
Was just gonna post about it lol
It was like nails in a chalkboard when he said “you don’t need evidence” .
I shouldn’t be surprised- it is Fox “News” after all.
Fox news doesn't deal in facts or journalistic integrity. They deal in FEELINGS! LMFAO
They just like to be abused these Fox supporters...
@@alfstewart2592 Can't tell if you're trolling or not...
I hate when rich news anchors speak about how they have worked for every penny. There's so many people out there working so much harder than them making so much less.
To use a conservative point of view on Varney "well you shouldn't have had six kids then."
Yeah that guy might be smart in modern day business and some mathematics but when it comes to Logic, selflessness, contributing...etc nothing is there, there living that American dream of caring about materialistic items .
He worked for his money tho, the strong strive the weak suffer. That's human history.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol Everytime that fat ass brought up but I have kids, bitch plz!
But he could afford to have them, unlike many people. So many people here, including yourself are calling him dumb for having six children, but then defend the peopler with multiple children that can't afford to raise them. Who is really the dumb person? Why should someone that can afford 6 children be forced to give up the income they have earned in order to give to someone the obviously couldn't afford to raise multiple children because they didn't think about the consequences of having multiple children?
@@richardlovell7316 STFU jackass. God people like you are stupid with your comments. Just STFU idiot! Who gives a shit about how many children you have just STFU about that cuz it's noise that makes lil difference. N fk them fox jackasses whom cut him off at every point
“No let’s begin with me.” How old are your kids if you have grandchildren?
I am not american, but every video from Fox news I see I notice they have a pattern:
* Take things personal and mock the guest
* Ask questions to the guest, only hear the first 3 words he has to say before cutting him off and coming with another question.
* Keep re-raising points that the guest was trying to answer before, but still... always cut him off so he can't really reply.
This sounds like a joke. I pity anyone that can take this as serious journalism.
I live in the United States and I applaud the clarity with which u described that pattern; a pattern which I have seen myself and attempted to point out to advocates and zealous fans of speakers on both sides of the issues. I personally have to shrug off a creeping sense of defeatism whenever I witness the constant use of shouting the loudest as a valid debate tactic. In my observation the more interruptions, and also, the more frequent the use of ad hominems is in direct correlation to how irrelevant, biased, and non-factual a speakers statements are.
Jon Tobin I figured you might like to know it "Ad hominem." It's Latin. :)
But to be relevant, watch Bill O'reilly if you like to make a face in awe as he resorts to them in real, logical arguments. Dawkins, Hitchens.
Shenanigans KY That's joke right?
Dan Kelly
Of course Shenanigans KY was joking. His name is Shenanigans, haha. But to be fair, most interviewers on TV in general are loud and interrupt their guests. It's how they argue. It's also why I don't watch the news.
Shenanigans KY Thank you for the spelling clarification. I wasn't sure of spelling when I typed it but auto correct told me it wasn't a word. I should have gone with my instinct. and I'll take a look at Bill O'reilly.
even Warren buffet believes he should pay more taxes than poor people do
A contractor builds houses - busts their butt all year working hard and makes a million dollars. Pays 39.5% federal tax. A stock investor trades stock - busts their butt all year researching and investing and makes a million dollars. Pays 20% federal tax. Varney thinks that's fair, even though in this analogy he would be the contractor, his guest is the investor, and the investor is asking to pay 39.5% instead of 20%. Nothing changes for Varney, but he still bitches. Then he'll turn around and complain that we have a growing national debt. I suppose his solution to paying off credit card debt is to get a lower paying job (which is essentially how cutting taxes to increase revenue works). I tell you, republicans make no sense to me.
That is the most intelligent statement I have read in a long time. I am going to use it, thank you.
"oggyreidmoew" writes: "I tell you, republicans make no sense to me". That's because you've been thinking for yourself, oggy, and you have a fully-functioning brain. Unlike those whose remaining brain cells have been trashed by watching non-stop "Fox".
I believe you're a bit misguided here.
First, Eric did state that he wants Varney to pay higher taxes, then later back peddled to say it would be the same.
Varney never said its fair for him to pay 39.5% and Eric to pay 20%. Listen to it again, maybe without only listening to what you want to hear.
Also, the analogy of credit card debt doesn't work in the sense of paying it off. Republicans view the debt as a spending problem. Democrats view the debt as a revenue problem. The issue with viewing it as a revenue problem is you act like any other fool that gets a higher paying job and then spends more than you earn. Get a raise and spend more than the raise. Keep asking for more and more money while never keeping spending in check. That attitude is exactly what is screwing over many individuals. The government, especially these last two administrations, have an affinity for living beyond its means.
Republicans, in general, want to cut back the spending into within its means.
Also, the theory of lowering tax rates to increase revenue isn't hogwash like you would think. Lowered tax rates incentivize job creation and spending. Higher spending and more employment and more money cycling creates more revenue.
Also, notice how someone who wants to raise taxes doesn't want to volunteer it. They only want to contribute if everyone else is. That attitude isn't one for positive change. He contradicts himself when he states he wont freely pay the taxes to allow others to free ride when the person he pointed his finger to was paying more in taxes anyway. Eric totally straw mans at the end when tries to say Varney needs to refuse government services.
A lower tax rate can actually create more revenue. It's called the laffer curve look it up. The main problem is the majority of people, especially democrats, don't understand basic economics. Also one reason why unearned tax rates (capital gains) are lower is because the majority of people that invest, invest earned money from their occupation.
Colissk
"lowering tax rates to increase revenue isn't hogwash". Of yes it is -- utter hogwash. Delusional Hogwash. It's like adults who believe in fairies. Just look at how Sam Brownback, acting on a belief in this this hogwash, just wreaked financial ruination on the State of Kansas.

Why invite a man to your show if you won't let him talk
This host makes me lose faith in society.
Agreed. Luckily American's only account for about 4.4% of the global population. The older I get the more I've realised there are 2 types of people: Those that get it, and those that don't. It's that simple.
+Daniel Searle Exactly !
+Daniel Searle Hey we aren't all bad, just a VERY LARGE MAJORITY IS. Also you forgot to mention there are people in between who partially get something enough to understand, ect. ect...
Ian Phillips come on, 3 millionaires are hosting , you all should know that will happen.
There are two types of people, those who pay and those who don't.
interviewrs did not even have basic manners of discussion with a guest ..
They learned that from shows like the View, the Talk and all those other left wing liberal programs. Liberalism once was defined as "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it". Today Liberalism is defined as"You can say whatever you want as long as you agree with me".
Or those other shows learned it from these guys. Either way, it's rude no matter who does it.
71Teleman i hope you know that those host were not liberals. please tell me you know that.... i dont think you understand the term if you think otherwise.
8BitZ0mbie Do not worry about it, he is falling on his own bias, as if people on the right or networks like Fox are great journalists who respect opposing views and do impartial interviews; astonishing how blind people are and just grip tightly to some group conscious for the sake of it. There can be bias on both sides, the right can just be off the charts though, so much so they are burying themselves with their bs.
petecabrina Ignorant statements like this are unfathomable to me. When someone like you makes such blanket statements, it only shows how horribly bias you yourself are. Do you not understand that? Like the left can't be "off the charts" as well? Seriously? And have you EVER watched a full day of Fox? Ever? I watch everybody, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, CNN, etc. And I do this to get everyone's opinion so that I can make an opinion of my own. Secondly, of the aforementioned stations, not ONE of them has as many opposing commentators on their shows like FOX does. NOT ONE. I can name SEVEN liberals who are constantly on the shows of FOX (and most are employed by Fox). Can you say that there are that many conservatives on any shows on the other networks? NO you can't because there are only two or 3 and those are mostly on CNN. So really, before you make yourself look so ignorant, you need to check in on reality for yourself instead of parroting with the left says all the time. And I really don't care what anyone says about Fox, because the bottom line is that they are the #1 cable news station and have been for YEARS. Their numbers beat all of the others combined. So say what you will about Fox, but it is simply out of envy and jealousy. If Fox was as bad as you and the liberals paint them, they wouldn't be on top. There is a reason why the others are at the bottom.
I feel so bad for people making only $400,000 a year.

"You want MEEEE to pay MOREEEE than FIFTYYYY percent TAXESSSS"
If the Federal gov cuts their spending by 50% in every dept I would support higher taxes. Until then the money of the rich belongs to them. Our gov has proven irresponsible with money, I cannot support raising taxes on anyone at this point.
Doggorunning Running for political office should be made involuntary. If you are nominated and get enough votes you will be required to represent the people for fair pay. This removes the issue of corporations and even entire industries funding political groups for their own gain. Once this happens money can be spent more wisely and funding can be cut where it needs to be, but until legal bribes are abolished this system will continue to fail.
I'm not even going to pretend there aren't other ways to help the situation, and I'm far from an expert, but history shows that a disproportionate number of people in office are scumbags. This is because it takes a scumbag to go out of their way to put themselves in a position to make decisions on the behalf of countless others. By removing the voluntary aspect of representation and preventing campaigning we weed out nearly all of these scumbags and are represented by people who have the best interest of the *people* in mind.
zeke1220 We should take the money out of it period and we cannot force anyone to do anything whats next mandatory military service? Ive been to many countries that have this and its not good
Doggorunning The money is definitely the most important thing. We already do force people to do things, such as jury duty. This would merely expand the obligation that citizens have to the well-being of the system.
zeke1220 well then let's just keep on going then, make people do a min. Tour in the military, community service also; no one should be forced to have to do such a job because of a lack of education we should share that responsibility. See once we start that it won't STOP. See I truly feel 4 years of mandatory military service would be a good thing and you think the same for political office. My neighbor might think of something else and so on it never ends!!!!! The thing is I can see the big picture and that's this won't stop where I like it. I prefer the freedom of the individual because like the founders I understand that humans think different and have different goals, dreams, etc. We are at a turning point in our history we were a republic now we are a democracy and you are choosing to push us just one more step to the right. I for see another revolution in the making hope are you ready? Home land security has put returning veterans at the top of their list. Why? I know why cause we are one thing big government can't have, patriots. We fought freedom of the individual and we have returned to a county divided, dependent, and looking for a hand out. My friends and I are ready, keep pushing and we might have to take this government back, we have the law on our backs. The constitution is very clear, executive orders that infringe on our most basic freedoms and legislative leaders that encourage it might find that they picked the wrong side. We are a borderless country we have special groups that are exempt of the laws which I must adhere to in the military we call these “golden cows” we have mandates that we must follow but our leaders and their friends are exempt from. This millionaire guest is a joke, he’s made his now he wants everyone else follow his dream of giving back. If a millionaire has money that’s his, I’m disgusted with this government and the leaders that are destroying.
monokhem Sorry only found this
From Wikipedia: Name-calling is a phenomenon studied by a variety of academic disciplines from anthropology, to child psychology, to politics. It is also studied [as a means to implement] propaganda. The technique is most frequently employed within political discourse.
In anthropology and child psychology, name-calling is studied to discover how derisive labels constitute a ‘magical attack’ upon a person or group. The first stage of name-calling is simply picking a target, usually someone who they believe to be less intelligent
Understand your opponent no need to run
Might be the worst journalism I ever witnessed.
What a shameless piece of 3 on 1 bullying. I don't understand why any intelligent person would ever go on Fox.
That's why I move that taxes collected from FOX ankers and casters should exclusively be used to bolster education to make up for a tiny bit of the damage and dumbing down these people cause ;)
I live half way around the world and only get to see this sort of entertainment when I come across it on youtube. It would be nice if people uploaded more constructive interviews but at least I get to see a lot of these Fox comedy shows (Special thanks to my ex-compatriot Rupert M.

when did he leave him speechless?

well they didn't shut up and didn't grasp the point the guest was trying to make, of course they weren't speechless because they kept talking what THEY wanted to say without understanding the point the guest was trying to make.
I can agree with that they really didn't let him talk and I was kind of interested in what he had to say
yes, hardly speechless
more ignored and suppressed than speechless
Stuart Varney is being completely disingenuous when he says that he pays over 50% in taxes. His marginal tax rate is way lower. That is just the top part of his income.
Pretty sure the host thinks this is a comedy show because there doesn’t seem to be any actual discussion in this video.
That host is lying through his teeth. First, he's working at Fox News and there's no way this turd is paying anywhere near 50% of taxes with all the tax deductibles he's allowd to.
I think the entire argument should be about abolishing the federal income tax system and replacing with a consumption tax somewhat similar to a sales tax. A tax on consumption puts the individuals in charge of how much they want to pay in taxes. It also would eliminate the dreaded IRS : nearly all tax auditing by the government, CPA's and tax attorneys; and cheating by failure to report income. Besides, it would be far simpler and make everyone's life more pleasant. Lastly, the process of collecting tax is far more transparent than income that goes unreported in the current system.
@Olivier...sometimes I find it so hard to believe that people don't realize that by the time these people have taken every deduction and loop hole available to them that their total taxable income looks like crap compared to what they are actually making...
It was a pretty stupid thing the guy who came on the show said
The millionaire is the idiot....! He thinks working people shd pay more but he ..a millionaire ....shd not pay more!!
Millionaire Leaves Fox Host speechless? More like millionaire leaves Fox Host talking more bullshit than ever.

He is english
James Meleady idk where he's from originally but he defo has an English accent
KODA RUGGERS not one of them has an "English" accent!

That's what Fox News calls an interview: Attack the guest (three guys on one mind you) from the first minute on, let him never finish sentences and ridicule and twist his statements and yell at him resentfully without ever asking him one single question honestly and in a civilized manner. Great job.
I couldn't agree more the only shame is they had nothing to say and just wasted time, while this guy could have produced amazing insight into a welcomed new economical system.
He is supporting his 6 grown kids, And his grandkids? Is his entire family freeloaders?
50% of his income goes to taxes? lol
Multiple issues.
1. I assume his wife does not work, so he has 1 set of income. So with that in mind, why did he have 6 children, if he couldn't support them with 1 salary?
2. If he has grandchildren, unless the parents are 16, are they out of work?
3. Does the partner to his child, also not want to work?
4. He is earning $250K+ a year. Even if $125K is taken off (fucking bullshit figures used by that moron Fox host), he is still earning LOADS MORE than the rest of the US and is before tax is even applied to THEIR TAXES! So why is he mad?
5. He want's all of the benefits but doesn't want to pay for any of it. He's clearly mad for paying the "50%" he's already doing, so why was he not opposed to the suggestion that he should move to a 0 tax country? Obviously because he wants the government to be at his beck and call, for nothing.
It's moronic to criminalise the populous, but even more so to put themselves at the top, receiving all the benefits, paying nothing for it all for his family of junkies...
Simple solution to his "problems". Get his 6 kids into work. That then leaves him free to spend $125K+ on anything he wants.
And give me a fucking break. Those 3 Fox hosts are "struggling"?! How about the unemployed, of whom would benefit from higher taxes on the rich?
***** because he is so poor and striving to go on each day that he cannot afford condoms.
***** your not suppose to be that smart to realize that Frank. That's how conservatives think, that no one is as smart as them; yet they let FAUX News, uh entertainment, lie to them over and over again, There are thousands of video on UA-cam that proves they lie like exceeding excessively, and yet their audience continues to trust and defend them. I never saw so many professing Christians carry so much hate for the poor and other people who are not like them,
Jesus, the God they claim they believe in, loved the poor also, but they do not the work of the heart of God. They love money more than they love people. I say this as a Christian. I study the Word and seek to live that life and we are commanded to care more about people than anything on the planet. Jesus did; he died for people not for money, wealth or riches. Jesus place the absolutely highest value on mankind over the wealth of the entire universe. And he told us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's.
First question I have is, why are supporting all six kids and seven grandchildren? Do your children not have jobs or they spoiled my you? Maybe you could have let the man finish answering the question instead of cutting him off.
rich people won't understand the struggle of poor they live in a bubble.
and poor people increase the poor by having children.
yessssssss
+teakey not necessarily poor does not mean stupid. poorer people more often strive to get our of their poverty and becoming more to have a better life so saying poor people create more poor is nonsense.
*+teakey*
Poor people increase poor? Stupidest shit I've heard all day. You act as though if all the poor people died, then the world's problems would be solved. It's not that simple, dumbfuck.
+Fantasy☯Fangs do you think poor people on general raise children with the same social economic privileges or do they raise children who are wealthy? Children cost a lot of money and who is paying for that. Also, they aren't just having one or two kids. They put no limits on it.
let him answer the question.
Ruth Butler Lets answer the problem
Reward companies that balance
shareholder profits with worker
well-being.
• Reserve the new lowest corporate tax
rate for the companies that reinvest
their gains in their workers or in legally
organized “benefit corporations” that
also meet new standards for fair worker
treatment and investment.
Ruth Butler What corporate tax reform should have achieved
- and still can - is to help stop the cycle of
companies disinvesting in their workers in
favor of returning more and more profits to
shareholders.
Since at least the 1980s10 - the era of corporate
raiders, leveraged buyouts and aggressive, cost-
cutting CEOs - the idea of “shareholder primacy”
has maintained an increasingly pernicious grip
on how companies do business - often at
workers’ expense.
~Fox employee debate and fumctionality guidline~
1: If someone is bringing up a point you cant rebutte or dont know anything about simply cut them off mid sentence.
2: Yelling makes you smarter and makes what you say true.
3: Have at least one minority to give the appearence of equal representation in media.
4: Old white man cant possibly be wrong so use it to your advantag.
5: Angrily state your points offering no chance for a responce. No response is assumed as agreament
6: Apeal to the old white generation that will not live to see the shit storm they will drop on the younger generations because we are to old, stuborn, racist, and Merican to change.
6: Remember we apeal to the older white generations which means we are always right since old white people are never wrong.
Right
+Eladio Castillo Sounds like all major media and politicians to me.

You forgot number 7!
7. Speak with a British accent. If it's one of the right types of British accents, you could call a train derailment a "slight diversion"...and still sound really smart.
He is not paying 50% of his earnings in taxes. He needs to stop lying.
how can you call being a liar on fox news working for a living?
It takes a lot of effort to make shit up at this level
i hate how they never let him speak.. the kept interrupting him
they*
yes!
When you have very poor arguments and rely on straw manning the opponent also known as logical fallacies. It's all about asking so many questions and leave them with no time to explain. Then declare yourself victory: Also helps to play victim.
Interrupting seems to be a prerequisite to be a Fox News presenter
Sandy Solomon
Yes, and it works well with all the questions asked. Because even if you bust them on several questions they still get to say "Well, you couldn't answer this or that, there for I consider your answer poor"
FOX news... "It's all about me. Everyone else can go to hell."
How about we not let president's like Trump who spent 7.8 Trillion! More than ANY PRESIDENT in history!! 😂😂😂😂
That interviewer is DRIVING ME CRAZY hello maybe let him answer a question, meglo??
The host thinks he's the only person with kids and grandchildren?
Andymanaman He also seems to think that having 6 children wasn't a choice. That or he's lying.
To throw it back at Varney, maybe he shouldn't have six kids then.
He also seems to think he raised dumbass children that can’t fend for themselves. He has grandkids which means his kids are adults.
Why is he entitled to have enough to pay his grandchildrens college tuition 😂😂😂
@@GGReyes-oc3kpSo since he chose to have 6 children, shouldn't he have the choice of keeping the money he has earned to raise those children?
why a bunch of reporters invite someone to attack him instead than letting the public hear what he have to say.
It's like inviting someone over your house and kicking them out as they enter.
It's their TV show, not his. That's why.
Welcome to fox...
they were not reporters. they were "financial advisers" lol
Matt C. Their Interviewers...They ask fucking questions and they wait for an answer not cut him off and throw out his opinion its not proper.
- I have 6 Children
Not my fault man...
The argument "why don't you write a voluntary check..." is so stupidly classic
So he has kids I'm supposed to pity him? If you didn't have 6 kids you wouldn't need to worry about 6 college tuitions
especially since he also has 7 grandchildren: it supposes most of his children are adults, who, by now, must be able to sustain themselves.
if he has to support 15 presons by himself, it means they failed to be financially independant, and thus his speech about the american dream being put down by taxes is waaaaay below the point:
the american dream is put down because the money is in the hand of worthless idle rich people who fail to sustain the economy.
But the wealthy get first taste at the feeding trough of loans and grants, leaving the remainder to the rest of the population. It happened when my children applied and were told there was no money left throughout their college years.
Roger Brown I had no Idea...I live in France, where grants are given based on welfare criteria. Basically, if your parents can (or won't) support your education, you don't get one. Of course those are state grants but still...
It really surprises me that you say it is almost reversed in the US.
Besides IM SURE all his kids are grown!
He is full of shit. If he was the provider for his 7 grandchildren then he would be deducting that from his tax. He may pay 50% before deductions but probably gets most of it back.
Six kids seven grand kids and he's talking about college. Butch your kids grown they should be paying their own shit like the rest of us
How about we let the man do whatever the fuck he wants to do with his *own* gotdamn money because 1) It's not yours or anyone else's and 2) You didn't do shit to get him that money that *he owns*. Stop being a parasite expecting sustenance from others.
So why does that give you the right to forcibly take more of his money from him without offering equivalent services? How is this different than theft?
+Ryan Shaffer haha you consider taxes theft? That's cool bro but in this thing called society we all have to put in. If you have the means to put in more, than why not do it? It's greed, you don't want to help other people because "what have they done for me?". Are you Christian by any chance? Because Jesus said if you want to be like him give away all your worldly possessions and go preach and help the poor. Shit the bible even says it's harder for a rich man to get to heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. If you want all your money to your self and not pay taxes then go leave OUR country where we all put in according to what we make and start your own country and see how long you last before you'll be taxing people.
hcaballero1992 Letting the government steal more money from people so that we can waste it on needless wars in the middle east and more corporate welfare for the greedy is not a Christian value...no matter how much you want it to be...
In addition, Christ advocated people WILLINGLY giving and exercising compassion for others. This can never happen when people have money forcibly taken from them. Christ never tried to forcibly take something from others.
I trust individuals to better use their money and do more good with it than I trust the government to do it...
Forcibly taking things from people without paying for them (theft) is never a good thing...no matter how you choose to frame it
No, let's begin with ME. ---Republican world view
I like how he’s a “millionaire” when it’s convenient, and only “has his million bucks” when it benefits their argument
Raising taxes $87 Billion on the richest people in America and eliminating the $52 Billion in subsidies that we GIVE to the richest corporations in history--the oil industry--is ridiculous because that is so small an amount it won't solve any problems BUT cutting $5 Billion from food stamps is a GREAT idea because it will lower the deficit and force those lazy, unbathed welfare dead beats to go out and get a job. For God's sake, have mercy on the top 1%. They've got kids they have to send to college, and grandkids they have to buy Christmas presents for.
Yeah! It's fine that he's somehow the only one generating his "hard earned" money for his 13 kids and grandkids, he should be getting funding from the government, for pete's sake!
epicfail86 He chose to have those kids and why include his grand kids. What his kids are one meth and now living at home with the grand babies.
The oil industry doesn't get any 'subsidies' pal.
Do you want to know the real solution to the problem? Force a CEO-to-worker pay ratio, that way companies are FORCED to pay their workers a living wage, thus not having to rely on government programs. The only argument against this is the ridiculous notion that employers have a right to abuse their workers to any degree as long as it nets them another red cent in profits that go right to the CEOs BMW collection.
That British guy annoyed me, I would've loved to hear the guest's logic and reasoning, but nope, that guy's got 6 kids and 7 grand kids. Business is what I want to do for my major in college, and if its anything like this, then it's gonna be fun.
1:40 : "This country is facing a fiscal disaster", and the host goes "No, let's begin with me"... then he calls his taxes a "net loss", probably because he thinks police and hospitals are totally useless to him and his family (he probably delivered all the children himself, see). This guy is priceless. Me, me, me, me... why doesn't he use his money to buy an island, put himself and all his family on it, shut up and leave the rest of the country alone ?
What I like most about this video is that it shows what happens when a country who's education system ranks terribly low on math, to the point of having caused a global financial crisis, still thinks it's number one. I can't wait for the day with the people on Fox get so bad at math they can no longer manage to broadcast on the right frequency nor set their microphone amplifiers and no one can hear their nonsense anymore. I give them 5-10 years before they go full-on "Idiocracy".
They never say they shouldn't pay, but the amounts some people have to pay are ridiculous. Fire, police, etc. are local and state taxes. A huge portion of government spending is super wasteful. The government should spend less.
d3rkaderk4 I agree with you. I'm French by the way, but I've lived in the US. I'm familiar with taxes in both countries.
Here's the thing, though, the USA has a military budget that is larger than that of the 12 most militarized countries after it, COMBINED. But it doesn't have the population of these 12 countries combined. That means each american pays more for the military than anyone else on Earth.
It's a fact you'll never see anyone on CNN or FOX call for the USA to reduce its budget by 75% (which would still leave you with the capacity to turn Earth into a wasteland several times over). I know how Americans think and I'm not saying this in a critical way. Having weapons does feel nice, so having lots of weapons must feel even nicer... but then you can't complain when you have to pay high taxes !
I mean, local police in the US has motherfricking tanks : if you want them to be properly maintained and fueled, that costs money.
I also agree with you about how wasteful your government is. But that's the price you pay for allowing things like lobbying and never clamping down on conflicts of interest. The F-22 Raptor, for example, is 70 billion USD spent on a white elephant that's now cancelled and used as a... ground attack plane against ISIL, something the US could have done with pretty much any other warplane they already had, including a B52 loaded with JDAM's.
I could also talk about your insane love affair with credit cards and loans, which is a subset of my initial comment on Americans being crappy at math, but we digress. I just wanted to say Americans should stop navel-gazing all the time. Your country goes to war at the drop of a hat, lets corporations make policy decisions, and then you complain about paying too many taxes. Well d'uh ! If you feel the way this Fox host does, then I believe you have that second amendment for a reason : why don't you use it instead of whining ?
"But that's the price you pay for allowing things like lobbying and never clamping down on conflicts of interest." I don't run the government and I really don't have a say.
"I could also talk about your insane love affair with credit cards and loans..." I am proudly debt-free, but I agree. The problem starts with the fact that very few people are taught anything about this by their parents and in 12 years of public "schooling" you are never taught anything about finance. Our shallow culture also encourages spending beyond your means and confuses owning shiny things with real wealth.
I have a life to live and I don't really care for throwing it away in some ill-thought out revolution.
d3rkaderk4 Actually you do run the government. You can vote, can't you ? That's what it's for. Why do you guys always vote for reps or dems ? Is it forbidden to create new parties ? Anytime there's an election I see all sorts of crazy candidates on the Daily Show, like the "rent is too damn high" guy. Vote for him. I'm pretty sure he's not in the pocket of the military-industrial complex.
If you really can't do any of that, then the second amendment has found its purpose at long last. No one is saying every single Americans should take arms, but even if one percent did, you'd have an army 3 times larger than North Korea's, and that's a country that scares the beejesus out of your rulers.
I'm debt-free as well, but that's not a matter of education, just logic. Don't spend what you don't have. If you want to spend more, find a way to earn more. I personally consider bank robbery to be preferable to a revolving loan, especially since that the same thing, but with the role of victim attributed to you.
Finance isn't taught in French school except in college if you choose to study finance. By the way here college is free. Most people even make money with side jobs during their college years. If you're good enough to earn a scholarship (humble brag, I was) you can also make money without having to work a side job. If that's what Fox calls "socialism", I like it. It means I started my adult life debt-free. And I was raised by a jobless single mom, by the way.
You say you have a life to live, and I respect that. But that implies you don't feel the issues we've discussed have a sufficient impact on your life to push you to take action. The guys at Charlie Hebdo also had a life to live, and a good one considering they were all celebrities to some extent. Paris life is very good to intellectuals with deep pockets, you know. They had been threatened and firebombed before. Yet they still felt that freedom of speech and ridiculing religion was important enough to put their lives on the line.
Some might say theirs was an ill-thought out revolution but they have managed to rally together more world leaders than anyone ever has. Don't consider a revolution to be ill-conceived before it has even started. The only thing worse than death as a revolutionary is living in resignation.
Charb's funeral was today. It was a joyous affair with lots of people and singing. I'll say it again : fuck you religions, we win again.
Jean Roch My vote doesn't count, I live in California and it's always Democrat. I vote third party, most people are too stupid to vote third party. It is virtually impossible and it doesn't help that the average vote has a sub 90 IQ.
“let’s begin with me” i don’t think i’ve heard anything so straightforwardly self centered wtf
Fox is a JOKE. Fox don’t need guests. They do fine by them selves.
Yes if he knows everything, why have a guest with a different opinion than him.
"no lets start with ME" that's the reason why America, Greece, Spain, Portugal ect are in the shit right now
Simon don't talk about things you don't know, I'm from Portugal, we are guilty of many mistakes, we admit that.. But comparing my country with what this host said... Don't go there.. Portugal is not a selfish country, there are many corrupts, who steal money, and our country doesn't have resource to make up that.. While the other countries have nowadays more resources.. For those corrupts, don't speak about the entire country as we would be like them..
Miguel Marques well I was not talking about EVERY person who lives in those countries....
simon199418 Really. You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Paulxl K you are all great considerate people who didn't rob a thing from your governments, my bad you are right. This is why you are all living like the arabs in the emirates.
simon199418 actually, Portugal's debt came from inept corrupt political parties' (the ones that make it to government) actions,which, besides making the whole country's economy hostage of some private corporations and banks through ruinous deals with the private sector in exchange for confy post-governing administrative positions, were further encouraged to destroy production capabilities of the country by the European Union, so that German and French interests could in turn control said production in the whole European Union, making Portugal completely dependable of foreign products and unable to balance it's commercial scale. The fall of Portugal had nothing to very few to do with taxation or social welfare.
Poor rich guy who has 6 children and works very hard for his money. His story almost made me cry and change my position on increasing taxes on them. I'm sure that his situation is far worst than those poor people who do not have as many children but work 10 times harder than he does.
The way Fox news set up this interview is wrong because it was one guest against 3 hosts. He could not deliver any full point and and was constantly interrupted.
He did manage to defend his arguments well and offered a good fight. Terrific Job there!
***** there's 1 for you 19 for me...
“No let’s begin with me...”. And that’s the orientation. Lol
Poor rich fox news anchor. I feel so bad that you actually can afford to put your children in college and no one else can. ANd if they do, have to take signifcant debt to become someone in this economy. Poor Stuart Varney who can afford to go to the Doctor when he needs to. I feel soo sorry for him. Poor rich man
If you stopped asking for the government to solve all your problems, all of those things would be cheaper and you could afford to send your kids to college on 50k per year. People used to be able to put themselves through college while working.
A credit hour in 1979 at Michigan State University was $24.50, adjusted for inflation that is $79.23 in today dollars. One credit hour today costs $428.75. Why? State income tax revenues across the country have dropped precipitously in last 30 years, and, in turn, state funding of "state" universities has declined. The average student in 1979 could work 182 hours (a PART-TIME summer
job) to pay for a year's tuition. In 2013, it would take 991 hours (a
FULL-TIME job for half the year) to accomplish the same.

Thank you for not explicitly telling me that I am "full of shit." I apologize for the late reply. I haven't been monitoring my notifications. A couple of notes--- I doubt MSU is lying about its own credit hour costs. I realize I posted the "government's" inflation calculator... but there are several you can choose from across the political spectra, and they are only a few dollars off from each other. No deviation from +/- standard error. The randalson.com reference is well-documented in its own right, so you can chase down the references there, as I did.
He worked for and earned all of his money. I don't care how much you make paying 50 percent of your income is ridiculous and if it was happening to you you'd have a problem with it too.
The host has a Salary of $608k a year... He isnt going to struggle to pay for his kids college...
David Mitchard yup. All that hard work Dobbs. Take it easy your gonna break a sweat.
19samson32 He sits in a chair and parrots the same argument over and over. Meanwhile a cook who is on their feet 10 hours a day working two jobs at minimum wage makes an annual salary of about $39,000 before taxes. He might push as much hot air as 30 minimum wage employees, but he sure as hell does not work for it.
i got 6 kids with college education and have 7 grand childrens...is he saying his family is so dumb that nobody work and he pays everything for everybody?...i bet if this guy would earn,like 50 000 a year for his job,he would declare himself has super poor...
David Mitchard You might be right that he won't struggle to pay for his kid's college. However, why does he have to pay more in taxes to suit your standard of fair taxation?
Alex Sikar What makes you the financial authority to determine who makes too much for the job they do?
Is the cook working 2 jobs and 10 hours a day holding a college degree or even a high school diploma? Often, not always, people needing to work two jobs and too many hours weekly are in that position because of the poor decisions they have made that put them in that position. His salary is justified because that is what FOX is willing to pay him and FOX is still able make a profit. That is how that market works. If a restaurant could pay a cook more in wages and still make similar profits, the cook will be paid more. However, if the market can't support higher wages while keeping a businesses open, restaurants have no choice but to pay lower salaries to remain open.
I can't see where he leaves them speechless. All three ganged up on him and never shut up.!!
james gregory Read description lol
Speechless to us...speechless to admin...read title again with coma...and you lol i guess
Host was slam-dunked in Jordan fashion. The slam-dunk: 10/10
Yes I agree, he didn't leave them speechless. He proposed a tax system that would leave high earners a little less well off but still earning a whole lot more that the majority of people in the USA. I'm from the UK and when I was younger I tried to propose a similar route. Between the ages of 18 and 45, I (and many of my contemporaries) could have paid four times more tax and National Insurance (our version of medical insurance) than we were. The irony is we couldn't give it away! The majority of people thought we were mad! Unfortunately in older age I need all the resources I can muster. My national insurance contributions should have given me a cushion against illness and old age, but successive Governments refusal to tax a little bit more means that the money isn't there. A lot of people say 'fuck it, I'll just get some private health insurance'. The sad thing is National Insurance was meant to be exactly that so a lot of people end up paying for something twice! I can't write any more it just makes me sick!!!!
These reporters were disgusting in the way they ganged up and the way they non stop interupted the man
I forgot Patriotic Millionaires was a thing. It’s always kinda cool to see some rich people with enough foresight and humanity to do what they can to actually uplift society and have way more self preservation skills than most rich people do
