NEW YORK – Neil Cavuto recently had a little chat with Keely Mullen, national organizer for the Million Student March, and it provided some interesting insight into the group’s demands for free education.

“The Million Student March is a movement for a more equitable and fair system of education as opposed to the really corporate model that we have right now,” Mullen explained in a recent live Fox Business broadcast later posted to YouTube.

“The three core demands of the National Day of Action are free public college, a cancellation of student debt, and $15 an hour minimum wage for people who work on the campus,” she said.

Cavuto posed a simple question: “How is that going to be paid?”

After an awkward pause and a little back and forth, Mullen reveals the group’s plan is for the “rich” to pick up the tab, and her rhetoric makes it clear she holds little respect for her proposed benefactors.

“The one percent of people in society that are hording the wealth and really sort of causing a catastrophe that students are facing,” Mullen responds. “We have a relationship right now where one percent of the population owns more wealth than the 99 percent combined.”

From there, Cavuto proceeded to break down the obvious issues with the group’s proposal, and it quickly becomes clear Mullen and her supporters have a lot more demands than actual plans to carry them out.

Cavuto explained the tax history of the “one percent,” and the fact that the “rich” currently pay up to 50 percent of their income in taxes. He asked Mullen how much more they should be expected to pay to give away free college to everyone.

“I think enough until we a have a system where one in two families are threatened with poverty,” she replied.

The “one percent” are smart folks, Cavuto said, and could simply leave the country if their taxes get too high. What happens then, he asked.

“There’s always going to be a one percent in the U.S.,” Mullen fired back. “The U.S. is like the bastion of capitalism and its success.”

“Do you think the one percent can pay for all of this?” Cavuto countered.

“Absolutely,” she replied before citing statistics on global wealth.

Cavuto cut her off, and refocused the conversation on the one percent in the United States. He pushed for a threshold for those who would be required to foot the bill, but Mullen was clueless.

She suggested folks earning over $1 million would “certainly” be targeted. Cavuto asked whether the government should tax those rich people at 90 percent, as was once the case.

“I think that eventually we will get back to that,” she replied.

Cavuto questioned whether the “one percent” would simply accept an absurdly high tax rate, or whether it would eventually implode, as is the case currently in European countries with bloated entitlement programs.

Mullen resisted the idea that her classmates and their families should contribute toward the cost of her group’s demanded benefits – her family is already on numerous forms of public assistance, she said – and alleged the rich are “doing nothing to contribute to the progression of society.”

Cavuto explained that if the “one percent” in America were taxed at 100 percent – if you took all of their money away – “you couldn’t support one entitlement in this country for three years.”

Mullen was stumped. “I don’t believe that,” she said.

Cavuto then asked if Mullen knew how much her proposals would cost.

Forgiving current debt would total $1.3 trillion alone, “and that’s just the beginning,” she replied.

“Do you know how much you get fully taxing the one percent?” Cavuto shot back.

She had no idea.

“One trillion,” Cavuto said. “We don’t have enough to do it, so you are going to have to find other means of getting money, right?”
