Fox News' Stewart Varney Flips Out When His Defense Of The Wealthy Fails
Fox Business' Stuart Varney, a much beloved and frequent guest on many Fox News programs, flailed around like a twitter troll trying to upend Occidental College political scientist Caroline Heldman's arguments that the real immorality in our economic system is income inequality.
She made the point that Republican administrations are responsible for debt and deficits much more so than Democratic ones which didn't go over well for Varney.
Varney never used any facts as he wailed like an injured baboon, his defense of the uber wealthy came from nothing more than him repeating how immoral it is to tax the wealthy over 50% of their income.
When Heldman gave him examples of how high taxation didn't stunt growth or hurt the economy, Varney sounded like a child and said basically, "No he didn't."
Varney, "Where has this ever worked? Can you show me an economy which does what you have said it should do..."
"Yes, the 90's. The 90's and Bill Clinton." She followed by saying, "If you look at Obama's economy, he's not only pulled us out of a catastrophic liquidity crisis. We also have remarkable growth given what he inherited."
"He didn't pull us out of market liquidity crisis, alright...I can see we're failing on this one.."
"He certainly did."
"No, he didn't. It was the federal reserve which pulled us out of the liquidity crisis, not President Obama."
"Who do you think runs the national government? The president."
