This charity helps families of wounded veterans with college expenses (Or so one would think.). Another thing that should be pointed out is one of the members of the Board of Directors, Erik Prince (Yup, the Blackwater guy), which might also explain WHY they funded this rally. I would have thought that it would have been the other way around.

At this point, any and all talk about charity from that talking head is basically null and void, as much of the money the charity raised went right to his own pocket.

I find it to be absolutely despicable that Beck would even pull a stunt like this, but worse yet is the fact that not one dime of the money raised went to help families of fallen soldiers.

So much for ‘restoring honor’, eh Glenn?

The intention of this “principle” is to deny several real principles that ought to band us together as a nation by instead espousing the principle of greed. It denies that people do not have social and economic justice. For example, it’s in the news today that salaries in the financial industry are going to be higher this year than ever before, just months after Goldmann Sachs and others took taxpayer money by the billions.

Now I know these folks at Goldmann and Aetna and GE at the top of the ladder who have destroyed the nation’s economy and slashed jobs by the millions and salaries by 50% in some cases, I know they believe that they “earn” their money while they sit in their offices and plot by the hour how to screw the rest of us. (Believe me, I’ve sat in meetings where that was the topic). But their puffed-up opinion of their own importance doesn’t actually mean squat. It’s the people down at the bottom of the ladder who actually work. Long hours, for crummy money, doing hard jobs that tear up our bodies and when we can’t do it any more they throw us on the scrap heap.

This “principle” really galls me as someone who saw the corruption of corporations first hand, saw how they schemed against labor. And Beck, with his $18 million a year which could be classified as “money for nothin’” thinks he ought to take that all to the bank without paying taxes. Screw you, Glenn. I hope the tax rate for your bracket goes back to where it ought to be, 75%.

Thanks again for your comment, Bless, I will be updating this page as time permits.

Only someone who thought the world owed him something would make that comment. Hard work does not guarantee choosing what is done with the product of one’s labor.

Actually talk to some African Americans, preferably that you’ve never met, about what we expect in return for slavery. Really, don’t guess or prejudge, but go talk to some of us and learn from the descendants of some really hard working people and I bet you’ll come away with more respect for us as a people then you’ve been conditioned to regurgitate.
