you know, republicans, like marco rubio and paul ryan and eric cantor have brought out proposals on tackling poverty in the united states. the president has been talking about income inequality and trying to drive a class warfare argument. i think we need to have solutions rather than partisan bickering. let me get your position on that, the fact that there seems to be a lot of revenue shifting, wealth shifting, take from the rich, give to the poor. what do you think about the president s position on that? i think we need to move away from that. that s cold war, communists are coming thinking. the fact is, 85 people in the world are worth more in terms of marathon tear status than 3.5 million people. there is a problem here. it s a systematic problem. it s not a democratic problem or a republican problem. it really is beyond being an american problem.
need to lift out of poverty and pursue the american dream. do republicans need to be focusing on this to try and get votes they desperately need? look, as we ve already been discussing here in your hour, the democrats, president obama, the democrats plan on making this the centerpiece of their midterm election campaign. with their friends in the med yar media, i m sure it will be part of the election sz. marco rubio positioning himself not just for the midterms but presidential election in 2016. the reality is republicans have been suggesting free market solutions, jack kemp, back to barry goldwater, free market solutions to lift people out of poverty. no system, economic or political system has lifted more people out of poverty than ours, free market capital system. let me get in on this. lets face it, president obama was successful in the class
2010, the ceo was talking about yeah, we offered the federal government to build it for them, but they passed. think about that. we could have saved a billion dollars. it could have been done by ibm, the gold standard in that kind of technology and we passed. what? well, maybe there is no incentive in washington to save money or do it right. and david kennedy, who you heard from, he s a white house hacker, he went on to compare obamacare web site with amazon.com and he said, how would you rate he was asked, how would you rate amazon in terms of security? he gave them a 10. and he went he said that the obamacare web site, he d give about a 2 in terms of security. these are experts, saying they re spending too much money for the formula. let us know what you think about that. obamacare isn t working, so the president goes to his old faithful class warfare argument saying he wants to take out inequality and his policies from the beginning have been to equalize here.
downton abbey about an aristocratic family garners a lot of attention on this side of the pond. this show is huge, not just in great britain, but here in america. and stu varney talks about why americans are so drawn to a show that makes rich people look so good. he sees a different class warfare argument that the ones some of the administration he says has been pushing. a woman part of the one of the deadliest massacres in america history in 1991, her parents were killed and she was very much in danger at the time testified on capitol hill last week. this was unbelievable. why she says gun legislation made her unable to protect herself and her family on that fateful day. an and she s here live with us. honestly, i don t view myself as the victim of gun violence. i view myself as the victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool and i see myself as a victim of the legislators
