"Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. Many of his employees are so poor, you’re paying their welfare benefits. And he’s not the only tech billionaire offloading his payroll costs onto taxpayers. This is an indefensible scam. Why is only Bernie talking about it?" - Tucker

It is not about being liberal.

It is about talking about the issues that people like Bernie bring up and trying to fix them within the framework of the capitalist system and the constitution, as opposed to just ignoring them or making them worse.

If people stopped crying and wailing about Fox News and actually listened I think they would see the network is not the bogeyman that the wackos on the left portray them as.
They are BY FAR the most balanced network on the television

I never watch Tucker, but I happened to see that part of his show last night, flipping channels, and I was a little confused. I'm not sure I saw the whole thing.

The only way to "fix" the problem of Amazon and Walmart employees on welfare is to either give them a large raise or significantly lower the poverty level threshold so they're no longer eligible for benefits. I thought the right was totally opposed to increasing minimum wage, so is the solution really to cut off welfare benefits to anyone who is working? That doesn't sound Bernie-ish at all.

From the way Tucker was putting his argument, talking about how Bezos and the Walton family are the richest people in the world, it almost sounded as if he was expecting them to share out of their own pockets. Is that what he and Bernie mean?

I'm really interested, not snarking. Anyone know what Tucker wants to fix this?

I would rather replace Juan with Kirsten Powers and replace Shep with Greta(if they can get her back, considering she doesn’t really have a job anymore).

That would provide the balance while bringing in the most tolerable left wing views.

Greta is very naive and almost certainly a Democrat, but she is genuinely nice to all her guests no matter how controversial they are.

And Kirsten Powers is far too sane for CNN:

My guess is that she left after the sex scandals.

Powers is a true Liberal, in the good sense.

She left FOX for CNN.
 
Hell freezes over, indeed. Before Trump came down the escalator, his soon-to-be-supporters would have been telling Tucker to leave Bezos' wealth out of it.

Now they're worried about low-wage employees being subsidized by the government?

What, are they going to picket Wal Mart next? Demands for a $15 MW?

Weird!

:laugh:
