Fox Business host Stuart Varney got a little, as he said, �hot under
the collar� Monday when a supporter of Democratic presidential
hopeful Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders praised the candidate�s plan to �redistribute� wealth.
�I really believe in his vision for the working class, expanding the
middle class, and redistributing the income in this country,� Erin
Bilbray, a Democratic superdelegate for Sanders, told Varney, who
was visibly flustered.
�OK, alright, you�re going to take it off me and give it to somebody
else. I got it. OK,� Varney said, seemingly frustrated.
�No, no, no, that�s not what I�m saying,� Bilbray replied.
But the �Varney & Co.� host was not convinced, telling the Sanders
supporter, �Let�s not beat around the bush.�
�He is going to take it off me. I already pay 60 percent of my
income in taxes, and he wants more. Please, don�t confuse the issue,
he is going to take it off me and give it to somebody else. If you
think that�s OK, that�s fine with me. I don�t. Let me move on,�
Varney continued.
In response to his comments, Bilbray asserted that she is a middle-
class, working mother who is �excited� about Sanders� tax plan and
his tuition-free college policy.
�I�ve got two young daughters, and I know their college is going to
be paid for,� she said. �And so I�m very happy about that.�
�OK. I�ve got six kids, nine grandchildren, and I don�t like paying
60 percent of my income in taxes, and I�m damned if I�m going to pay
any more,� Varney shot back.
Later, the conversation turned toward morality.
�Do you think it�s moral that I, as the father of six, grandparent
of nine, 67 years old, works five or six days a week, 12 hours every
day, you think it�s moral for me to lose 6 cents on every 10 cents
that I earn? And Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton want more.
Explain the morality of that, will you?� Varney inquired.
Bilbray responded by telling Varney that it�s �immoral� that people
cannot find jobs with good hours and livable wages.
�Do you think that�s got something to do with Obamacare?� Varney
asked before the conversation ended.
