Thread: Whydoes Glenn Beck continue to ignore our founder`s tax plan

Today on Glenn Beck’s TV show Glenn talked about our tax system and then went on to talk about needed tax reform, but focused on two alternatives to reform our current system. The two alternatives are offered by the establishment, the “fairtaxâ€

While that is a wonderful dream, we have too many social programs that need to be supported, including my Social Security and Medicare programs when I am finally entitled. Working years and years to pay into those systems with every paycheck, it would be unfair to all those like myself to announce one day that all that money is gone, as there will be no new taxes to replenish the system. Medicaid, rent assistance, free education should be immediately eliminated for everyone except citizens.
E-Verify should be enacted immediately to cover all employers nationwide. Borders should be sealed, including those on visitors' visas until we get a handle on who has never left. Other countries should be charged for the incarceration of their citizens committing crimes in this country.
This country has gone off on a tangent that the founding fathers never could dream of.

Two possibilities, I think:

1) Beck doesn't want to do "too much too soon" and propose something some might consider radical before people are ready to hear it.

2) Beck supports the establishment and is cynically targeting us for ratings.

I think #2 is more likely, but I could be wrong.

I lean towards 2 as well. The very first time I had ever heard of Obama was in 2003. The Fort Worth Star Telegram had a story about him, and how he wanted to gain support for a flat tax. What's funny is that I agreed with him at the time, and I told my co-worker to remember the name Barack Obama, because he will be our first black president. I always wondered if Jason remembered. So I wonder if Beck remembers Obama trying to get the flat tax imposed?

Perhaps no one read the stipulations in the 700 Billion Bailout that excluded IA from paying taxes.
