"This is the gesture of a nation in decline."

That's me, talking about Sen. Charles Schumer's attempt to tax Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin on Fox Business' Varney & Co., the fast-moving and always-edifying business show. The topics also Greek bailouts, the NATO summit, and calls for a "Robin Hood" tax on financial transactions.

    I know you are kinda young but NATO kept us from becoming Communist. The threat still hangs over us like a Damocles' sword. Have you been paying attention to Russia recently? There is a new threat you might have heard of called radical Muslims, who will take care of them?
