Did you see the Glenn Beck show yesterday?
He directly attacked Social Security and I think you
can say he also "shredded it" as well.
This has been coming for a while. Beck has been slowly
selling his viewers on the idea that they are going to
have to "tighten their belts" and make "sacrifices" for
the good of the country, and "their children's future."
Sooner, or later, after roping in his audience, every
Con Man delivers "the turn" and yesterday, we saw Beck
start "the turn."
I've both complimented Beck and his staff for his excellent
research (although many of his major stories were co-opted
from Andrew Breitbart, Trevor Loudon, and Alex Jones), and
warned that the reason he was rescued from the CNN "B-Team"
and immediately elevated to prime-time at Fox, is because
he was assigned the "not so subtle" 912 Project to co-opt
both the 911 Truth movement, and the Ron Paul Tea Party
movement.
And that's exactly what he's done. While Beck hasn't
fooled many of those who quit drinking the Kool-Aid
long ago... what he has done, is co-opt a very large
percentage of those who are just now awakening to
the problems facing America, especially the older
demographics (age 50+) who wouldn't know Bilderberg
from Bordeaux, and who are wandering around aimlessly,
looking for someone to "plug into" and tell them the truth.
And Beck was positioned to be that media figure for
the newly awakened masses "to plug into."
Cutting to the chase, here's Glenn Beck's solution
to America's budgetary crisis:
1. Eliminate all Social Security & Medicare benefits
to everyone under age 54.
2. Those aged 55-62 get 40% of promised Social Security
and Medicare benefits.
3. Those age 62 and over, get 100%.
Imagine someone age 50-54, who has had 15% of his paycheck
withheld under the penalty of law, in what the average
America views as a "mandatory pension plan" for 30-35 years,
and now being told that they get - nothing.
Zero, nada, zilch.
Now I know that the percentage of wages withheld for
Social Security and Medicare has increased over time,
but for a quick "back of the napkin" calculation, let's
use present numbers...
Imagine someone who's average earnings from 1975 to 2010
averaged out to be a very modest $35,000 per year.
Our example American would have earned a total of $1.225 million
dollars over that time frame, and would have had 15% of that
total withheld for Social Security and Medicare, which would
be $1.225 million x 15% = $183,750,00.
So Glenn Beck's 53 year old average American would have
paid in $183k into the Social Security and Medicare system,
and super patriot Beck wants him to get nothing from the
government in return, because Congress looted the lockbox
and gave all the money to the military-industrial complex,
and the bankers.
Now Beck doesn't propose that those under age 54 get a refund
of the $183k they had to pay in under the penalty of law, but
surrender their benefits.
Nope, he proposes that they get - nothing, and just look at
at those 30-35 years of having 15% of their paycheck stolen
by Congress as their patriotic duty.
Excuse my language, but #$&% Glenn Beck and the $20 million
dollar a year salary he rode in on.
Beck, a former coke snorting, light in the loafers,
Jack Daniels guzzling, multiple-addiction self-admitted
alcoholic and former FM Radio "Morning Zoo DJ Buffoon"...
...is no longer delivering the truth, but rather the talking
points of his mentor, and Mormon handler, Big Oil Billionaire
and stalwart Republican John Huntsman.
Has Beck always been nothing more than a Republican shill
in sheep's clothing?
Well Beck did recently say: "I love Dick Cheney."
I have a feeling that 90% of Tea Party supporters
don't quite feel the same way about Mr. Cheney.
And after ambushing Tea Party candidate Debra Media, Beck said
that he felt like "french kissing" Texas, Republican Governor
Rick Perry," a former Bilderberg golden boy, who failed his
task in closing the deal on the NAFTA superhighway.
And let's not forget, this is the same Glenn Beck who has
trashed Ron Paul, his supporters, and said that 911 Truthers
are traitors who should be shot.
I guess that would include the majority of the 911 Commission
itself, 75% of the families of the 911 victims and first
responders, along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh,
and numerous members of the military and intelligence
community who have expressed the need for a 2nd investigation
of 911.
Can you imagine anyone who truly supports the people,
and who is trying to reign in looting and pillaging
of the US Treasury by Congress, telling everyone under
age 54 they have to just wave - bye bye, to the 15%
of their paycheck they've had to pay the government
under the penalty of law for the last 30-35 years?
In today's economy, unless you are a white collared,
degreed professional in a high demand profession such
as a doctor, or a bankruptcy attorney; if your job get's
offshored you not only face a 50:50 chance of running
out of unemployment benefits before finding a job, but
your job choices will probably be between being a greeter
at WalMart, or a part-time, early bird worker for Mickey D's.
Sadly, age discrimination in America begins at age 50.
And God forbid if you are a White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant
Male, over age 50. Not only are you Beezlebubb reincarnate,
but you are virtually unemployable in this economy, just ask
any HR manager.
And Beck want's to take "all" of their Social Security benefits away.
Finally the veil has been lifted and Glenn Beck has shown his
true colors... that of just another Republican shill, who wants
the average American to get "stiffed" on Social Security and
Medicare, so the Billionaire Boys Club doesn't have their
taxes raised.
What would our founding fathers have to say about Mr. Beck now?
