The audacity of this view matches its lack of integrity.
Last night, while debating raising taxes on the wealthy with radio host Mark Levine, Fox Business host Stuart Varney claimed that progressive tax policies will turn us into Europeans, who are “a pack of Pagan losers”:
VARNEY: Europe is paralyzed with debt, subject to massive entitlement programs, and riddle with anxiety. We are going down that road with our taxation policies. And once we enact a VAT, a hidden sales tax, we’ll go even further down that road. It is profoundly un-American. We’re going to resemble Europeans, who are essentially, a pack of Pagan losers. And I don’t want to go in that direction!
Watch it:
Varney’s claim is ironic, given the fact that the Fox Business host is British-born and a graduate of the London School of Economics. [Faux Noise delinked] It should be noted that Western Europeans enjoy a lower poverty rate, an economy nearly as large as China and the United States combined, much more generous worker benefits and vacation time, and a higher per capita GDP growth rate than the United States.

What else would we expect from the GOP Reichsministry of Propaganda?
I assure our European Readers that the bulk of Americans do not share this insanity.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Indeed. Why would we want to go down the road that leads to hell-hole failed states like the Netherlands, Britain, and Scandinavia, when we could emulate stalwartly devout, monotheistic societies like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and that antithesis of big government, Somalia?
Thank God Europe still at least has the Catholic Church to protect children from all the horrific abuse those pagan losers would otherwise be inflicting on them.
LOL, Infidel. Be careful ot you might become a pagan yourself. 😉
