Fox News' Cavuto Aims to Call Greens Haters; Misses - Hits Himself

With an opening line like, "Do the rich hate you?" you might think California Green Party member Laura Wells would be a little bemused by the badgering of FOX host Neil Cavuto. However the former candidate for Controller (2006) maintains her cool graceful smile in this caustic interview, and explains that over-taxation of those with no disposable income through sales tax is less fair than taxing the income of the rich a little more.

The interview was made in response to a dramatic 1 per cent increase of sales tax in California where the state carries a $42 billion deficit.
